   I read the original article. I don’t recall any coverage of the SSN issue.

   Have you tried the Wayback Machine?

   hi orly,

   this is the concord monitor article before 2pm on thursday when it got scrubbed from drudge.

   Don’t pencil in a victory for President Obama in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary just yet. Today, the incumbent president must withstand a legal challenge that again questions his eligibility to seek the country’s highest office.

   At 2 p.m. in Room 307 of the legislative office building, the state’s Ballot Law Commission is set to hear a complaint filed by Orly Taitz, a California lawyer who has continued to question the validity of Obama’s birth certificate and Social Security number since his 2008 election.

   Backing her complaint, Taitz said, are four Republican members of the New Hampshire House: Harry Accornero of Laconia, Larry Rappaport of Colebrook, and Lucien and Carol Vita of Middleton.

   “There’s sufficient controversy that I want it investigated,” Rappaport, a Ron Paul supporter, said yesterday. “Every time this is brought up . . . we get a lot of flak, but we’ve never gotten an answer.”

   Obama released his birth certificate in response to media inquiries in 2008, but the document did little to quiet skepticism from the so-called “birther” movement. In April, in response to continued interest in the president’s nationality – fueled by statements by real estate mogul Donald Trump as he toyed with a presidential run – Obama also released a copy of his long-form birth certificate.

   “I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even I could take that apart and see that it was fraudulent,” Rappaport said of the long-form certificate.

   Lucien Vita said the birth certificate issue “should have been put to bed years ago” and also believes the documents released by Obama were forged.

   “Don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see,” he said.

   Vita considers himself a constitutionalist and both he and his wife support Ron Paul, he said.

   “I have doubts because of the delay in the time it actually took to come out with a long-form birth certificate,” Vita said. “I don’t want to go through another four years of the same tripe.”

   Vita said he’s confident the Republican candidates are American citizens “because these people have all held other state offices” – though he acknowledged that could also apply to Obama, who was a U.S. senator before being elected president.

   “We know where they were born,” Vita said of the Republicans. “There’s a level of credibility with Obama that has not sufficiently been met in my eyes. If he’s a citizen, he should be able to prove it.”

   Taitz’s complaint also questions the validity of Obama’s Social Security number, and she said the exhibits presented to the Ballot Law Commission show “undeniable, irrefutable evidence that Barack Obama is using a Social Security number that was never assigned to him.”

   “I’m hoping that the board will decide not to allow him on the ballot,” Taitz said. “And if he wants to be on the ballot, he will have to provide an explanation.”

   Taitz was born in the Soviet Union. Though she cannot run for president, she is running as a Republican for a seat in the U.S. Senate.

   “I know what it is to live in a dictatorship . . . where the whole system is corrupt,” Taitz said. “And that’s what we’re seeing here.”

   The state’s Ballot Law Commission met to hear a complaint filed by Orly Taitz, of California, regarding the validity of President Obama’s birth certificate. A crowd of supporters gathered in the hearing at the Legislative Office Building on Friday, November 18, 2011.Purchase photo reprints at

   As state election officials yesterday rejected California lawyer Orly Taitz’s argument to keep President Obama’s name off the New Hampshire presidential ballot, supporters lining the hearing room in the Legislative Office Building cried out in protest.

   “Traitors!” shouted one woman. “Spineless traitors!”

   “Saying a treasonous liar can go on our ballot?” yelled State Rep. Harry Accornero, a Republican from Laconia. “You’re going to have to face the citizens of Laconia. You better wear a mask.”

   The spectacle before the state Ballot Law Commission began with a presentation by Taitz, who came to Concord yesterday afternoon to continue her years-long demand for proof of Obama’s U.S. citizenship.

   Taitz, a dentist who was born in the Soviet Union, is running as a Republican for a seat in the California Senate and runs what she bills as the “world’s leading Obama eligibility challenge website,” refuses to accept the veracity of the birth certificates released by the White House in response to questions circulating through chain emails and on the internet about Obama’s birth.

   The administration released Obama’s birth certificate from the state of Hawaii in 2008. When that didn’t satisfy the skeptics, it posted a long-form version online earlier this year.

   But Taitz insists that document is fake: The computer file is layered and could have been altered with the Adobe Illustrator program, she said.

   “A child can see this is a forgery,” she told the commission. “Why are they refusing to show the public the original?”

   She also claims Obama doesn’t have a valid Social Security number. Included in the 85-page packet Taitz submitted to the commission is a tax return with “a number that was never assigned to him,” Taitz said. She said Obama is using a Social Security number issued in Connecticut around 1977.

   In conducting her research, Taitz said she also found several birth dates associated with Obama in a national database. And she found information that she said contradicts Obama’s claim about the length of time he spent attending Columbia University, which claims the president as a 1983 graduate.

   “We have an individual where we don’t know who he is,” Taitz said. “We need to know that the person who is at the helm of this country, who is leading our military, whose finger is on the red button of nuclear weapons, has proper identification.”

   She told the commission members they would be responsible for “the most egregious election fraud ever committed” if they didn’t take Obama’s name off the ballot.

   “This is bigger than Watergate. This is a hundred times bigger than Watergate,” Taitz said. “Ladies and gentlemen, in your hands is national security for the United States of America.”

   But the commission wasn’t convinced.

   “Is there any decision, any place, by any body – adjudicatory body – to the questions you’re asking?” said the chairman, Bradford Cook. “Because they’ve been asked a lot of places.”

   “No, but -” Taitz began.

   “No,” Cook said. “Thank you.”

   He then addressed the several dozen other people in the room, a number of whom were videotaping the hearing: “Does anybody have factual evidence – not opinions, not rumors, not thoughts?”

   “It’s the Constitution, sir,” said Dick Marple, a former state representative. “It states we must respect the law of nations.” He went on to say that the British Nationality Act makes Obama a British citizen, since Obama’s father was born in Kenya, which was still a British colony when Obama was born.

   “What took place after that is not even germane to the issue,” Marple said. (next page »)

   State Ballot Law Commission members called traitors
   The commission heard from several others, including Accornero, the Laconia representative; Greg Goss, a self-described “natural-born citizen” from Hudson; and Erin Sullivan of Bradenton, Fla., who had been visiting a relative in Massachusetts and decided to come to Concord for yesterday’s hearing.
   “I want to say, the Constitution is what makes America great,” Sullivan said, drawing applause from the room.
   It was out of the commission’s purview, however. Senior Assistant Attorney General James Boffetti told commission members they could only consider whether Obama had filed his declaration of candidacy form in accordance with state law and paid his $1,000 filing fee. Both form and fee were properly submitted by Vice President Joe Biden on Oct. 20, according to Assistant Secretary of State Karen Ladd.
   The five members voted unanimously to keep Obama’s name on the ballot.
   Their response to the testimony during the hearing angered many of those in the room, including state representatives.
   “Unbelievable,” fumed state Rep. Susan DeLemus, a Republican from Rochester, walking around the room during a break in the hearing, before the commission took its vote.
   “Let’s just bury the Constitution now and have a funeral,” DeLemus said. “It just makes me want to throw up.”
