A plan in Arizona to require presidential candidates to prove their eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is approaching critical mass, even though it has just been introduced.
The proposal from state Rep. Judy Burges, who carried a similar plan that fell short last year only because of political maneuvering, was introduced yesterday with 16 members of the state Senate as co-sponsors.
It needs only 16 votes in the Senate to pass.
In the House, there are 25 co-sponsors, with the need for only 31 votes for passage, and Burges told WND that there were several chamber members who confirmed they support the plan and will vote for it, but simply didn't wish to be listed as co-sponsors.
He has already produced a birth certificate to the feds.....if it was good enough for them it will be good enough for AZ, they have already admitted that the birth certificate on file will be acceptable......it's a lot of noise here to appease some radical birthers. What a great way to waste time and money here in AZ when we don't have nearly enough of either in this state. Some people/politicians let their obcessions get in the way of doing the job they were elected for.
If AZ wants a copy of his birth certificate, they're going to have to pay for it.
Americans who still doubt that President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii may soon have access to a copy of his birth record, but it will cost them.
Tired of requests from so-called "birthers" asking to see Obama's birth certificate -- and hoping to make a dent in the state's projected $800 million budget deficit -- state legislators have proposed a bill that would offer a copy of the coveted document to anyone who asks and charge a $100 fee.
The Post today had an article that Hawaii is going to change the law and charge people $100 each to view Obama's birth certificate. I wonder what the birthers will say then.
Correction, Hawaiians want to change the law about birth certificate privacy, but it hasn't actually been passed or ruled on by the courts.
And I am betting even if the birth cert. gets posted, the Birthers will just claim that it is a forgery.

Same thing they have been saying all along, it's not a "real" birth certificate, that the state of Hawaii has been in on the conspiracy to make Obama president since the day he was born.....in Kenya, or the Phillipines.......they even conspired to put birth announcements in the papers then (official birth announcements come from the government) and this birth certificate isn't the real one, it's a short form (like there aren't multiple states that use this form), and in Hawaii use of a short form must be a forgery even when the state says it's not......they are, after all, in on the conspiracy.
