Does anyone know how common rules like Hawaii's are? It seems to me that if most states have gone to the COLB certified abstracts as the official birth-record document and no longer allow anyone to obtain a copy of their long-form birth record, Missouri could end up in a situation where none of the major Presidential candidates would be eligible to be listed on the ballot, essentially disenfranchising all Missourians in the Presidential election.

Maybe it's not as common a thing as I'm thinking, but if the above scenario is at all plausible, then it sounds like someone forgot to do their homework before writing and pushing this bill. If it passes and becomes law, it could make for some fun *real* violation-of-civil-rights lawsuits.

At least there is some hope the bill will not make it onto the books. The Missouri Senate looks unlikely to take up the measure this session, and Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon has promised to veto the bill if it does, but I have a feeling this will not be going away anytime soon - and not just in Missouri.

Why can't these assholes just say provide a certified copy of your birth certificate, and the SoS can attest to the fact it's been supplied? What's so friggin' difficult about that? I doubt anyone would object nor would there be any problems with what is supplied.

Oh, and contrary to the assertions of the Birftards, I was able to successfully use my short form to get a passport!

Democratic Senator Robin Wright-Jones is upset over the so-called birther bill’s 4-to-1 passage out of a Senate committee.

”It’s racial and I really don’t want to talk about it. I really don’t. It doesn’t deserve to be lifted up and discussed. It really doesn’t. It’s a ridiculous piece of legislation.”

With something in the neighborhood of two weeks left for the Missouri Senate to pass (or not pass) the bither bill I can’t be held accountable.

On the 30th day of March 2012 I received a call from Dave Whistler of Missouri.

In early April I had my first conversation with Whistler and he asked my about the letter that I sent to Nancy Pelosi back in 2010. I then informed him that he was referring to a letter that I sent to every single member of US Congress, each individually addressed.

...

Whistler then went on to ask my, in a cryptic like manner, of my dealings, if any, with Orly Taitz.

Section 20(a). The general assembly shall adjourn at midnight on May thirtieth until the first Wednesday after the first Monday of January of the following year, unless it has adjourned prior thereto. All bills in either house remaining on the calendar after 6:00 p.m. on the first Friday following the second Monday in May are tabled. The period between the first Friday following the second Monday in May and May thirtieth shall be devoted to the enrolling, engrossing, and the signing in open session by officers of the respective houses of bills passed prior to 6:00 p.m. on the first Friday following the second Monday in May.
The general assembly shall automatically stand adjourned sine die at 6:00 p.m. on the sixtieth calendar day after the date of its convening in special session unless it has adjourned sine die prior thereto.

HB 1046 requires the President and Vice President to show best available evidence of Natural Born Citizen Status to be placed on the Missouri Ballot. I was required to show proof of eligibility in 2010, when I first ran for U.S. Senate. A problem was Identified and I plan on addressing it. The President and Vice President were not held to the same Constitutional requirement. So if we are to all play by the same set of Rules, what better place to start then at the very Top with the President and Vice President this year?

Today, I spoke with Sen Mayer and I asked him what the status of HB 1046 was since it was voted out of the Senate Elections committee on April 30. (This bill is referred to HB 1046 in the Senate, there is no Senate version) As it stands, Sen Kevin Enger is waiting for the Senator Pro Tem, Sen Mayer and The Senate Majority floor leader, Sen. Tom Dempsey to call it up from Sen Enger’s office. It’s Sen Dempsey job to schedule this Bill for a Vote. Senator Mayer told me that he would call it up this Friday, May 11 for a Senate Vote. We need Patriots to hold these two Senators accountable for upholding the U.S. Constitution at the same time starting the process for changes in policy to combat Document fraud at all levels in government.

Please call these two Senators and tell them you expect them to up-hold their oath of office and force all Federal candidates including the President and the Vice President to play by the same set of rules. After all President Obama says we need to all play by the same set of rules.

Calls need to be made this week. Next Friday is the end of session. Once the Bill is scheduled for a Vote, then we will have to call all Senators and make them pass this Bill. See attaced documents for reference material. Thank you.

I notice that on the House side, it's still not on any calendar.

Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar

Missouri House bill status

That page isn't that trustworthy once a bill moves over to the Senate. MO's IT sytems aren't very "joined up"

Senate calendar is here.

HB 1046 - Rowland - Requires presidential and vice presidential candidates to submit valid birth certificates

5/18/2012 -- Bill Placed on Informal Calendar
http://www.senate.mo.gov/12info/BTS_Web ... =5/18/2012

I'm not sure what is happening. although the Senate website says it's adjorned until 22nd it also says that the regular session ended today. Maybe they're meeting next week for a special session on something.
The bill itself has been moved to the "Informal calendar" which I've never fully understood but I believe it's a sort of limbo for bills that haven't yet got enough votes to pass.

To correct combatengineer the bill has already passed in House.

Birtherism Lives in the Missouri Legislature
Submitted by Parker on December 4, 2012 - 2:29pm
If you thought Birtherism would cease to exist upon the reelection of President Obama, you'd be wrong. Especially when it comes to the Missouri Legislature.

Rep. Lyle Rowland (R-Cedarcreek) prefiled HB 41 today, the summary of which states:

No word yet on whether newly minted Speaker, and Missouri's original birther, Tim Jones (R-Eureka) will cosponsor the latest edition of radical birtherism.
