Arizona Secretary of State Threatens to Remove Obama from Ballot
White House Dossier ^ | May 18, 2012 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 05/18/2012 6:33:21 AM PDT by Smokeyblue

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is threatening to keep President Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in November unless he receives confirmation from Hawaii that it has a valid birth certificate on file for him.

Bennett, who spoke to Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead Thursday, said he requested the confirmation eight weeks ago and has not gotten it. Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one.

Asked by Broomhead if he would remove Obama’s name from the ballot if Hawaii fails to comply, Bennett said: “That’s possible. Or the other option would be that I would ask all the candidates, including the president, to submit a certified copy of their birth certificate.”

Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii, the issue of his birth continues to dog him. Thursday, Breitbart Big Government reported on a promotional booklet by Obama’s own literary agency listing him as having been born in Kenya.

Bennett said Hawaii law permits government officials to request verification of possession of a birth certificate in lieu of a certified copy.

“They could say yes tomorrow and the whole thing goes away,” Bennett said. “If they can’t say yes to that simple question, than it makees we wonder if we have to take it to another level. One way or another, we have to have some simple verification that people are qualified for the office if they’re going to be on the ballot here in Arizona.”

“Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one.”

They will e-mail back that “yes” he has a birth certificate. They just won’t say it’s from Kenya.

Good luck hearing from Hawaii Ken. You can’t confirm what you don’t have.

Hawaii has already stated that they have the certifed birth certificate, but for some reason have not been able to find it.

We've seen a couple of forgeries of the document, and the Governor of Hawaii has stated that the COLB doesn't exist.

Who is going to step forward and tell obama to "poop or get off the pot"?

This game has gone on long enough.

So, is Bennet saying he’ll just take their word for it, they just have to answer his question?

“...Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii,...”

What was the writer of ths drek on when this was penned? There is no such firm, uncontested evidence regarding his birth in Hawaii or anywhere else. Unless his was the second virgin birth in history, then there is aither a certified long form birth certificate for ole Jug Ears or he crept out from under a rock. It one or the other.

What a scam.

Or it gives Sheriff Joe a piece of document fraud to pounce on if they send a letter stating that they have the BC when they don't. I'm not a legal expert, but doesn't this give AZ standing?

“Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one.”

I predict they'll wait until the very last minute, then send that email. That will get him on the ballot, and prevent anyone from having enough time to mount any kind of challenge to it before the election.

"Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii"?

What "overwhelming evidence", the Photoshopped documents?

I think Obama and his family are going to flee the country on November 4, 2012.

THAT would be a Godsend!

Excellent move.

The man also needs good personal security now. These are some serious Marxist-Leninists who will kill to keep power.

I will donate to any group that can further this in Arizona and other states.

I wish them the same success as the Ceausescus enjoyed in December '89 when their regime finally imploded.

Seems to me if Hawaii can’t find the documentation, they don’t have the documentation. “I just know it’s around here somewhere!” is not good enough. Although they will still be allowed to get away with it.

What? You’re not convinced by a newspaper birth announcement and the White House listing the wrong hospital he was allegedly born in? You’re mighty skeptical, I must say.

you misunderstand. the process has two parts
confirm the certificate exists
reuire all candidates to submit

I f Hawaii does not respond, the Messiah and all others will then be required to submit and he will not be able to do so.

He is being forced into a corner

lil background here....I'm in Phoenix and was a Freeper who was at both Sheriff Joe pressers.....Our Sec of State , Bennett is a rock....a Charton Heston type, church manners, big smile,double smart,and all BUSINESS.

Bennett was late to the show until the Selective Service Card and Hawaii stonewallin....

When SOS Bennett says the One may not be on the ballot, someone ax’d....well we can write him in,

Absolutely you can write him in, we just can't count it

I love that part

As a witnessed sidenote of the March 1st presser...

the room was filled with shuffled noise, nervous feet and butts in chairs being not still.

As the story unwound, some screamed agenda but the story kept defeating that BS claim.....

then that 3td video played......no shuffle noise, not nervous feet just an explosion of deep space silence

That was when the Selective Service Card was shown and diced and sliced

At that moment, everyone in that room knew the One was busted

Even Satan bowed his head in a facepalm and aid “ shit”.

Despite overwhelming evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii

To my knowledge NOT ONE court in our Republic has "evidence" of Barack Hussein Obama's birth place. The only thing our nation has is "hearsay" of Barack Hussein Obama's birthplace and "documented proof" of birth record forgeries!
