Pair of lawmakers waste time, money

Recently I read in this paper that two Tennessee lawmakers want all presidential candidates to prove they were natural-born U.S. citizens to qualify for the ballot in the state.

Another couple of “birthers” still think Obama was born in Kenya or some other foreign country. Have they ever heard of the U.S. Constitution? Have they read it? Are these the kind of people who are deciding the fate of Tennessee and wasting valuable taxpayer time and money on these fruitless journeys into the unknown?

Their names are Sen. Bill Ketron and Rep. Rick Womick. In the next election, make sure you send them back to the office they escaped from.
