Via Raymond E Linafelter: Please join me in the Birther 2.0 movement. The following link is where you can email Secretary Bennett and demand he check the validity of candidate Mitt Romney's birth certificate. The following is my message to Secretary Bennett. Feel free to copy and paste my message. JUST PLEASE DO IT!
-----------------------------------------

As one of your constituents I am formally requesting that you verify the validity of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's birth certificate. The understandable concern over the current President's being, or not being, a natural born citizen forces you to adhere to your constituents concerns regarding this matter. Much like our President Mr. Romney spent a considerable part of his formative years, thirty months to be exact, residing on foreign soil. This combined with his father been born born in Chihuahua Mexico bears a striking resemblance to our Presidents situation. Has anyone even seen a copy of Mitt Romney's birth certificate? Does or did Mitt Romney ever possess Mexican or French citizenship? I am sure you share these concerns considering your admirable actions to find answers regarding the President and will hold Mr. Romney to an equal standard. I look forward to your response.

Any one in Az that is reading this - please join us & help this go viral.
The ONLY difference between President Obama and R'money's situation is the color of their skin.

1. k/r

it's a totally valid response.

[loggerboots]

21. Mormon polygamy

GGgrandaddy Romney was a polygamist. Romney's father was born of polygamist's.Lets see those Birth certificates.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

2. Done, kicked, recd. Please X-post in the Arizona forum

Edited to add; The site does not ask if you live in Az. so, if you've ever been to Az., if you ever want to visit Az., if you never want to go to Az. or if you have simply had enough of the birther crap, please let our SacOfShit know.

The fucking teabag said he is going birther because he received 1,200 e-mails asking him to. Lets beat that #

[jillan]

4. Great idea - I went ahead and x-posted it there.

Let's get the word out.

[barbtries]

3. i sent it

just left off "as one of your constituents" since i'm just a concerned citizen from another state.

[jillan]

5. You are wonderful!

[savalez]

6. I'd prefer you remove "understandable" from the second sentence.

Because it's not. It'll read the same.

Great letter and point though!

[jillan]

8. I didn't write that - in fact I used my own words when I emailed him.... but

I think in this case, volume is going to speak louder than good grammar

[kardonb]

23. grammer

grammer i not the issue . Proper spelling should be . The word is grammar .

[savalez]

29. This is a BBS.

Messages are typed fast and sometimes words are misspelled as a result. Most overlook it.

That said, spaces are not normally placed before periods.

[kardonb]

36. bbs

I put spaces after periods for emphasis .

[Dogtown]

45. So, you can slam a legitimate poster over a misspelling,

but get to make up your own grammar rules for "emphasis"?

That's a bullshit evasion and you've lost your credibility.

[AlbertCat]

50. So, you can slam a legitimate poster over a misspelling,

Also, "is" is spelled with an "s" not just an "i".

"grammer i not the issue"

I mean, if you can't spell a two letter word.....

[savalez]

26. Grammar is not the issue

It is the use of the word "understandable" which in my view gives credence to his request.

The understandable concern over the current...

vs.

The concern over the current...

Just saying.

[gratuitous]

7. I believe a response is in order

As soon as the Arizona Secretary of State produces the original legislation that gives him the authority to rule on a party's qualification to be the nominee for president. No copies of any alleged "enrolled" legislation. No citations to any so-called Arizona Revised Statutes. I want to see the original law, written with a quill pen, or the Secretary of State doesn't possess any authority.

How's that?

[Deep13]

9. Very good, but they should have proof read it for punctuation. nt

[jillan]

10. That was just one person's email - the person whose idea this was.

It's volume we are after, not grammar and punctuation.
Besides, I'm beginning to wonder if the a-holes that run this state would even know the difference.

[treestar]

11. Very good!

Mitt needs to document the same as Obama if they are so struck with documentation.

[brooklynite]

12. A serious question -- why ISN'T he checking Romney's BC?

Either there's a State Law that sets a standard which should apply to all candidates, or the SOS is claiming that's there's a legal ambiguity about President Obama's status -- which was NOT an ambiguity for the State in 2008. If this is the case, he should be prepared to explain what the issue and what the evidence is.

[jillan]

14. Exactly. Both of their fathers were born outside of the US.

It's so obvious what is going on here.

[Iliyah]

13. Secondly, birthers also claim that since

Pres O's father was not an American Citizen that also disqualifies him, which is total bullshit, but as mentioned above, shouldn't this disqualify Mittens as well. Also, I want to see Mittens tax records!

[Wounded Bear]

39. Neither was Washington's, or Adams, or Jefferson....

Probably a couple of other Presidents. Nobody alive during the Revolution had parents born "in the US."

[itsrobert]

15. How many "Mothers" are named on Romney's birth certificate?

Just wondering.

[The Blue Flower]

16. Done

And thank you.

[one_voice]

17. Sent....

I also replaced constituents with concerned citizen.

[ajk2821]

18. count me in

I added my concerns as well.

[LynneSin]

20. If 0.0185% of the AZ population can force this idiot to request a birth certificate...

then he should do the same for Romney requests

[thelordofhell]

22. He can "request" all he wants.....Hawaii will not let him at the original

Hawaii needs a valid reason to let him see the original BC. He already has the copy.

[avebury]

24. Done - nt

[AllyCat]

25. Done.

Never asked for zip code though.

[GoCubsGo]

27. That should also be a LTE...

Any AZ residents here should consider sending a version of that as a Letter to the Editor to the Arizona Republic and every other newspaper in the state. It might not affect the SOS's actions, but it will certainly cast doubt about Romney's citizenship in the minds of many of the papers' readers. If they want to play the "birther" game, fine. Bring it on. Time to fight fire with fire.

28. I'd like to see the patent filed on Mitt Romney and his wiring schematics

Last edited Tue May 22, 2012, 11:37 AM - Edit history (1)

Was the manufacturing of Mitt Romney off-shored to China? Was his synthetic skin at least made from plastic derived from domestic oil production or from the middle east?

[Dragonfli]

30. Most of his electronics are foxconn crafted, he was "assembled" in one of those islands

that lets you stick a Made in the USA sticker on it however so it's all good!

Tom Delay says if it's assembled by slave labor on the right island it is legally made in USA, that would make the Rmoneybot 2.17 a US citizen like product.

31. text for LTTE

I fixed up the pronouns and grammar a little for LTTE:


As one of Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett’s constituents I am
formally requesting that he verify the validity of Presidential candidate
Mitt Romney's birth certificate. The concern over the current President's
being, or not being, natural born citizen forces him to adhere to his
constituent’s concerns regarding this matter. Much like our President, Mr.
Romney spent a considerable part of his formative years, thirty months to
be exact, residing on foreign soil. This combined with his father being
born in Chihuahua, Mexico bears a striking resemblance to our President’s
situation. Has anyone even seen a copy of Mitt Romney's birth certificate?
Does or did Mitt Romney ever possess Mexican or French citizenship? I am
sure he shares these concerns considering his recent actions to find
answers regarding the President and will hold Mr. Romney to an equal
standard. I look forward to Mr. Bennett’s response.

[jillan]

33. Excellent - what papers are you going to send this to?

The Az Republic is so anti-Obama that I don't know if they would dare publish this - they are horrid.

Let me know if your LTTE gets published

[ThoughtCriminal]

32. I think our state needs a political enema

possibly more than any other state in the Union.

[jillan]

34. We're just going to have to work even harder making calls, knocking on doors for November.

Hopefully we can get Carmona elected to the Senate to take over Kyl's seat.
If we can, that might help down the ticket.

We are stuck with Brewer for a couple more years tho and this jerk (being kind here) thinks he is next in line.

[W T F]

35. It's official, I'm now a Birther

[link:#Mexico|

[goclark]

37. K and R

wasn't his father born in Mexico?
Can we see his father's birth certificate?

[polmaven]

44. He certainly was.

And when he ran for president in 1968 the question of "natural born" was raised very briefly and dropped very quickly.

[goclark]

54. Well we need to pick that question up really fast

I have a post in this thread that talks about how much his looks like my friend's family.

My dear friends are from Mexico and they are MEXICAN!

From now on, I will refer to MITOS family as the ROMO family.



Edit: for spelling

[bonniebgood]

38. DAMN this is so cool

I must see this on billboards please.

[peacebird]

41. +100,000,000!

[Lucky Luciano]

40. LOL Excellent. nt

[zaj]

42. This is a very weak response, IMO

I was reading the emails on TPM's site and the Hawaii AG made the point about asking Bennett if (paraphrase) everyone on the list you are compiling is being treated to the same record's scrutiny.

That effectively required Bennett to do the same for both Romney, Obama and any other Presidential candidate on the ballot in AZ.

That's such an easy out for Bennett, to just ask the same thing of Romney's camp/state.

It allows them to claim the pseudo-high road while advancing all of the very xenophobia, racism and ignorance that is at the heart of the entire birther movement. Just doing it under the same false equivilancy that the media uses to protect the crap that the GOP has been doing for years now.

For the Dems here in Arizona to consider this their strong response, is very disappointing. It give Bennett his out, all the while letting him advance his intended cause.

They need to try to shame him such that he's toxic and never able to be a serious political figure in Arizona again. At least not so among independents and swing voters.

[davidpdx]

43. Done

Great idea

[Dogtown]

46. Done.

Tx for the link, it made this protest easy.

[Borchkins]

47. Done

Thx, easiest thing I'll do all day!

[99Forever]

48. K&R and done.

[goclark]

49. Mito's family men look just like my friend's family men...exactly

They must be related!
The Romo's Family IS Mexican imo.
My friend's family men are mexican
How I wish I had a photo to show you ...they must be related.

"Deport the ROMO
family now!!!!"

We need to see the birth certificates for the entire family.

[BlueMTexpat]

51. Among other things, AZ AoS Bennett is also a Mormon.

Perhaps he thinks that's why it's OK only to check the birth certificate of the non-Mormon candidate.

"A fan of sports and music, Bennett also is active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. From 1978 to 1980, he was an LDS missionary in southern Japan. Bennett is an Eagle Scout, and graduated from Arizona State University in 1984 with an accounting degree."

53. Well, well, well... sound like someone is doing his bit to fulfill the

"White Horse Prophecy."

[mlevans]

52. Sent one more to him.

We don't live there, but were planning a Grand Canyon trip this summer.
