All- I called Rep Hatfield’s office but the gal I spoke to had not heard her boss on the radio show (saying he was going to change his effective date to 2013)– the problem is evidently (per below) NOT with Hatfield- he’s simply looking for a way to get his eligibility bill (HB 401) unjammed from committee- so please make a big effort to reach out to the GA Assembly & let them know we want this bill PASSED to be effective for the presidential election in 2012- and esp. notify any contacts you have in Georgia (family, friends, former co-workers, military retirees,etc.)
If you send an email to anyone in the GA Assembly, pls cc: Mark Hatfield too

Please understand that I am dealing with recalcitrant leadership which will not allow the bill to move through the committee process. We are trying to get the bill dislodged from subcommittee, and this proposal was made in an attempt to get the House leadership to allow the bill to be considered. The bill would not be required to stay in this form, but we have to try something to get the bill moving. If we don’t get some movement right away, the bill will be dead for the year. You don’t need to convince me that Obama needs to be subject to a law requiring proof of eligibility; I believe it wholeheartedly and have been actively advocating for it for years. Your efforts would be better spent contacting the leadership of the Georgia House and demanding that the bill be allowed to move. Nothing short of massive public outcry is going to get their attention it seems. I would appreciate your efforts and continued support of the bill.
Rep. Mark Hatfield
