… Even after Montgomery dropped his complaint, citing “intimidation” and “hostility!” Looks like it was never “off.” We are praying that the Kansas Objections Board will have the resolve to see this through. If they do it properly and honestly, they will see that Obama has provided not a shred of legal proof of Constitutional eligibility for the presidency.
Kan. GOP Sec. of State Moving on Obama Birther Nov. Ballot Challenge
Less than two months before Election Day, a group of Kansas Republicans, led by a voter ID law advocate, is moving on a withdrawn challenge which may result in President Obama being removed from the ballot.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has embraced forcing voters to produce ID at the polls, said Sept. 13 that he will preside over a Kansas Board of Objections Sept. 17 meeting where a Manhattan, Kans. veterinary professor Joe Montgomery, questioned Obama’s birthplace and the citizenship of his father.
Kobach said that the board is obligated to do a thorough review of the questions raised by Montgomery about Obama’s birth certificate and not make “a snap decision.”
However, Montgomery on Sept 14 withdrew his objections, stating that the Kansas roots of Obama’s mother and grandparents, apparently in his opinion, satisfies the U.S. Constitution’s “natural-born citizen” requirement for the presidency,.
The president’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and maternal grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, were Kansas natives.
The complaint withdrawal came after Kobach made requests to officials in Hawaii, Arizona and Mississippi for copies of the president’s birth records. The birth certificate controversy has been settled in those states and Obama is on those states’ ballots.
In spite of the withdrawal, Kobach said he nevertheless doesn’t believe the matter is dead. “I don’t think it’s a frivolous objection,” according to Kobach, an unofficial advisor to GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney’s campaign. “I do think the factual record could be supplemented.”
The objections board includes Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, both Republicans. Current polls indicate that in Kansas, Romney is the current favored candidate at this point in the presidential race.

Had emailed the following yesterday:

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt
Gentlemen:
You are to be commended for pursuing your inquiry into the birth certificate of one Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro Soebarkah. I understand your committee has delayed further action until Monday, September 17, 2012. I believe that you have sent for documents from Hawaii, Arizona and Mississippi, however the article I read did not include the information as to what documentation had been requested.
If it did not include the documentation of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s investigation into the same matter, and the presentation, which is available on line, of his chief investigator Mike Zullo, I would urge you to include that material in your deliberations. I would think it very appropriate for you to invite either or both gentlemen to your Monday hearing, as they comprise the only legitimate legal investigation into the matter thus far.
Thank you for having the integrity to review this matter. The world is watching.
