Birtherism Still Alive and Well in the Missouri Legislature

Submitted by Parker on December 3, 2011 - 5:48pm

The Missouri legislature started pre-filing some of the legisation they're expected to consider come January 4, 2012. If you're so inclined, you can head here for the House or here for the Senate for full lists of what's been filed so far.

If you take the time to mosey on through the list of what's been filed in the House, you'll find this gem, HB 1046, filed by Lyle Rowland of the 143rd district in Southwest Missouri.

HOUSE BILL NO. 1046
96TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Requires proof of identity and proof of United States citizenship for the office of President and Vice President to be submitted with the other required certification documents to the Secretary of State

Such certification shall provide verifiable evidence of identity and of proof of status as a natural born citizen of the United States for each nominee and the origins of such evidence. Such evidence shall be in the form of the most complete record of birth available by the controlling legal authority at the time of the nominee's birth.

It would seem that sheer insanity and birtherism is alive and well in the Missouri legislature. No word yet on whether Speker-to-be Birther Tim Jones has endorsed this piece of legislation.

Update: It should be noted that last year's version of the Birther Bill was cosponsored by Shane Schoeller who is wants to be Missouri's next Secretary of ~~Birthers~~ State.

Ed Martin won't respond to birther, so tea party member has to do it for him

Ed Martin held a Health Care Townhall last week. At the event, which you can see here, one tea party member had the following to say (starting at about the 55:40 mark of the video):

I wanna do a commercial for a friend of mine. Does anybody know who Joseph Farah is? He is what? He's an author, he's also an editor of World Net News. This gentleman spoke at the Tea Party convention in Nashville... It's about a 40 minute spiel: he talks about God, he talks about birth certificates, he talks about what the real motive is that this government has. It's to take us over. Period. One step at a time, and he's already got his foot in there...we knew all this before this man got elected, but we didn't want to believe it. There was more books out on what a rascal was running for the Presidency then I've read in my lifetime: and I've read em all...If you really want to know the facts, read some of the literature on this guy. He ain't been a nice guy for a long time, and he ain't gettin any better.
