Thanks for posting that, Red Steel.

I’ve previously contacted the appropriate state congressmen urging them to pass this. I truly believe this will happen.

Hey Red, Thank You for sending the Arizona Bill. That’s great! I like that they say ‘natural born citizen’ and specify the complete Long Form Birth Certificate. Now have Texas and Arizona. If you or anyone else has the text of other states, let’s put them here. I emailed all my state Representatives and Senators and already have replies that they’re looking into it. The more states the better.
