… 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
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.

Kansas Objector to President Obama’s Ballot Listing Withdraws his Challenge, but Secretary of State Seems to Feel Issue is Not Resolved September 14th, 2012 On September 14, Professor Joe Montgomery, who filed an objection to President Obama being on the Kansas ballot based on presidential qualifications, withdrew his objection. However, according to this story, the Secretary of State isn’t sure the matter is settled. GO KANSAS

Montgomery is incorrect in saying that Obama’s mother’s roots in Kansas qualifies Obama for a Natural Born Citizen. Obama’s problem is with his father. His mother does not enter the problem. Obama’s father being foreign born and a citizen of Kenya does not allow Obama to be a Natural Born Citizen and makes him ineligible for the presidency. On top of that evidence shows Obama being born in Mombasa British Protectorate of Kenya. If true this also makes Obama unqualified for the presidency. but his father’s allegiance to Kenya is enough to disqualify Obama.

Oh dear, Obama has been shown to be a natural born US citizen by USA courts… why ignore that fact? There is also no evidence that shows Obama was born in Klenya!

Derek- wake up:
Obama hasn’t submitted a shred of valid legal proof of eligibility for the presidency
1. Forged birth certificate on whitehouse.gov:

2. His draft registration is forged:

3. He has used at least 16 stolen Social Security numbers, including the one he uses to get paid in the White House 042-68-4425:

4. Even if he was born here, he ‘s not eligible, since his father was a foreigner and never a citizen. Learn something about Presidential eligibility:

Glad to see that Kansas will follow through with this. Montomery should have never filled an objection if he didn’t intend to go through with it.

Who knows what threats he was subjected to?
GeorgeM, 8 months ago
He’s not following through. Other media — who have interviewed Kobach — report that Kobach says that without the challenge (that has been withdrawn) there is nothing for the Board to consider.
“But without the petition, Mr. Obama will remain on the ballot, Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach told The Associated Press.”
New York Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/15/us/politics/kansas-election-officials-seek-copy-of-obamas-birth-certificate.html?_r=1
“There’s no possibility of Obama’s name coming off the ballot when there’s no objection,” Kobach said.

I guess we’ll see on Monday. Boards have been known to investigate, challenge and disqualify on their own. I have seen evidence that California and NH have done this. Not familiar enough with Kansas procedures to say. Are you?
GeorgeM, 8 months ago
I was very hopeful about this case. But do not get the wrong idea, Kobach will do what Romney tells him to do. According to the Fox News article. This is quoted from what they wrote. Look for the quotes they inserted.
Kobach said the delay shouldn’t be interpreted as the board giving credence to claims that Obama isn’t eligible, but as a signal it wants to build a more complete record.
Schmidt and Kobach, a former University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor, disagreed. Kobach said Montgomery was “trying to read too much in these very old decisions.” (Supreme Court)
Kobach said it will be difficult for Montgomery to prevail, particularly because Kansas has a high legal standard for removing a candidate from the ballot.

There has been no decision in the Mississippi case. It hasn’t even been to trail, it happens Sept. 24th. The people of MS need to open their eyes and support Orly at he hearings on the 24th. I will be there!! I still don’t understand how when the Democrats have gone on record saying they KNOW he is not eligible to be President that there is even any question about him being removed from ALL ballots.

More has gone on in MS than you might realize. Look at our Mississippi page:

What “more” has gone on in Mississippi? The case was removed to federal district court, where it has sat for months, and now the defendants’ motions will be heard. Orly’s motion for injunction is not even on the docket for oral argument on the 24th. After dismissal, any request for injunctive relief is automatically denied.

Get Larry Klayman out there on Monday ASAP. Orly Taitz is trying to intervene as well.
