Ed Emery furious about accurate descriptions of Wednesday's birther meeting

Randy Turner has the response from Rep. Ed Emery (R-LaMars).

I am obliged to protect the liberties of the citizens of District 126 and of Missouri. Toward the fulfillment of my obligations as a citizen and an elected official, I attended a meeting on the evening of July 1st to investigate whether the U.S. Constitution and the integrity of Missouri's election process were adequately protected.

I had never met or heard of Dr. Orly Taitz before and was the only legislative member in attendance. Consequently, I was immediately surrounded by reporters whose questions appeared intent on intimidating me for my interest and proving that the question of ballot qualification was a non-event. I don't know if I have ever experienced as many reporters at a non-event.

I discovered that Dr. Taitz - constitutional attorney, dentist, and real estate agent who speaks five languages - had spent both time and money and traveled extensively, personally investigating the ballot qualification issue. She also produced considerable documentation of her investigative discoveries. The attendant media, on the other hand, seemed completely content with the integrity and reliability of the internet in dispelling the concerns of their readers. The press displayed absolutely no interest in the claims of multiple given names, plethora of social security numbers, and total lack of transparency being attributed to a sitting President. Little wonder that the press has lost nearly all of its former credibility and power.

I have not defined a position on the ballot qualification question and said so when twice inquired of directly at the meeting. I did discover that I will have to do my own investigation; the media will not. That was appallingly clear!

Words escape me.
