You can see the full story at the link. We really need some help supporting this bill. Obama himself voted for a bill in 2005 that requires average citizens to provide birth certificates when applying for drivers license and ID cards. Such certificates are subject to verfication by the issuing agency. There's no reason Obama and other politicians cannot be held to the same standard he voted for.

"You can see the full story at the link."

I read it. From the "article": "Politicians and conspiracy theorists, sometimes referred to as birthers, have sought to disqualify Obama from running for president, being sworn into office and running for re-election. They have claimed Obama isn't a natural-born citizen and consequently ineligible to be president."

No one is trying to "disqualify" Mr. "Obama" from anything. They're asking him to demonstrate that he is qualified. Big difference. "In 2008, Obama released documents from Hawaii regarding his birth. He also released last year a certified copy of his original certificate of live birth from Hawaii.

Funny, I must've missed the part where "Obama" displayed anything other than online images of his so-called "documents".

It's a Journ-O-List type opinion piece masquerading as a "news" story. And if the intellectual firepower on display in the comments section is any indication of the sentiments of the average Kansan, then it's going to be an uphill climb, to put it mildly.

The objective of the bill, he said, should be to require proof of citizenship for state and federal candidates because Kansas is requiring the same scrutiny of voters.

"We ought to require proof of citizenship to run," Rubin said.

someone needs to correct these people. maybe, just maybe, they should actually READ the requirements of eligibility

being citizen is not enough.

any candidates should provide proof of being a NATURAL BORN citizen. anything less is worthless

Good on Kansas! That is the Constitutional way to handle the issue, through the political process.

Federal courts have enough illegitimate power as it is. We do not want to establish a precedent of federal judges deciding who to leave or kick off Presidential ballots.

requiring state and federal candidates to show a certified copy of their birth certificate as proof of citizenship.

Obama simply submits his short-form COLB and that will be that.

You will need people on Facebook and twitter. People love videos, perhaps a little video on the bill would be very helpful. Call in to the talk shows. Signs on cars.

You need people who will volunteer.
