Birther tries to remove Obama from Kansas voting ballot

 US President Barack Obama

Birther Orly Taitz has been granted a court hearing to keep President Obama off the Kansas state ballot due to suspicion surrounding his US citizenship.

Taitz, who works as a California dentist and a lawyer, claims that Obama’s birth certificate is fraudulent and that the president is using a fake Social Security number from Connecticut. Taitz says that as a result of forging his US citizenship documents and committing identity theft, he should not be eligible to run for president again, the Huffington Post reports.

The Kansas state Objections Board ruled on Monday to drop the lawsuit to consider removing Obama from the ballot, but Kansas District Court Judge Larry Hendricks scheduled an Oct. 3 court hearing to overturn the board’s decision.

After claiming that the board ignored evidence that should have disqualified Obama, Taitz was granted the hearing.

Joe Montgomery, a Kansas resident who initially objected to Obama’s eligibility but then withdrew his claim, stated last week that Obama could not be US citizen because his father was a Kenyan and UK national.Citizenship, he said, comes primarily from the father. After Montgomery and his family received threats, he withdrew his objection on Sept. 15 – the claim which the board based its decision on.

Now Taitz, together with Kansas resident Roger Walters, plans to take over the case and provide additional evidence of“forgery and fraud” regarding Obama’s birth certificate.

While working in California, she is asking supporters for donations to pay for her plane ticket to Kansas to attend the October hearing.

Supporters are urged to be in the courtroom and donate to Dr. Taitz in order to help with expenses of her flight to Kansas for the second time and litigation expenses,” she wrote on her website.

In response, several high-profile celebrities have tweeted their criticism of the case. Cher said the Kansas Republican Party was “beneath slime.” State Rep. Ann May said the state was a “laughing stock again.”

And as state GOP officials emphasize that the birther movement does not represent their party, Taitz continues to gather “evidence” that Obama’s birth certificate is fake.

No one is paying me anything. If the birthers had not insisted on trying to get the president off the ballot, I may never have said anything. I'm not politically in this.  I  Filed affidavit with KS, then  Staff did their investigation. They spent 1 1/2 hrs on phone with me checking data bases., etc. I was able to provide the name of hospital, Forbes Air Force base, etc real dad;s name ,etc. Even they commented, we don;t think he knows. The Sec of State Of Ks asked for the case to be dismissed, but he can;t tell us why, as only President can get his record or there be a court order for him to release it.  Everyone assumes he's accepting the Hawaii record, when he isn't.The judge has a responsibility to look into how and why it got submitted. In no way is there any question that Pres Obama belongs on the ballot. I'm not endorsing any one politically. as I stated in the affidavit. I have no proof the President had anything to do with knowingly committed any fraud, himself. My opinion is this is all done years ago by loved ones who are deceased. Moral of the story: Tell children the basics of their origin as they may decide to run for President some day. Obama Sr? an arranged marriage by my Dad in  Topeka Ks so she would have a marriage certificate and he stay in USA. 50 years ago, things were very different in these matters. They never lived together. Millions are being made off of 1/2 truth s and lies. Asked/ the main media why they had the real truth and never used it? Only 2 requirements to be on ballot: age and born in USA somewhere. Even if applicant did commit fraud, that would not keep him off the ballot as the Sec of St of KS seems certain he was born in USA, but he is bound by law not to tell us why ( born in KS). I posted my 9/14/12 affidavit on  facebook, blogger.com and twitter.  Few days later, I also wrote the US Justice Dept asking if they had any jurisdiction over  1961 race crime that left three dead.  I've shared all this since 7/26/12 so the full circumstances can be better understood. And it often happened in those years that victims moved away and never told their children. moral: childrfen need to be told the basic truths incase they want to run for President one day and need their birth certiificate. Linda Joy Adams, eye witness.

All you sick birthers just can't give up that a black man is in the Whitehouse. Secret service vets all Senate candidates before being elected. Even stupid George would have caught this repot- even thought he dismissed the briefings on impending Ben laden attacks. Kansas is a joke , became an international laughing stock about intellegent design and here they go again. Read the comments above...found no intelligence in this blog except for a few- excellent Dimitri
