Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett wants you to know that he is not a birther, but he says he wants proof of Barack Obama's citizenship before putting his name on the Arizona ballot.
In a radio interview today, Bennett said he is just doing his job of making sure "that those people whose names are on the ballot have met the qualifications for the office they are seeking." He says he has been trying for eight weeks to get documents from Hawaii.
In a statement just released, Bennett says:

The deadline to file for the ballott is Sept. 10 th.
