From WND: The "Certification of Live Birth" posted online and widely touted as "Obama's birth certificate" does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same "short-form" document is easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. The true "long-form" birth certificate – which includes information like the name of the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii, but to date he has not permitted its release for public or press scrutiny.
From Joseph Farah, WND: The billboard campaign was born of frustration with timid elected officials in Washington, corrupt judges around the country and a news media that show a stunning lack of curiosity about the most basic facts of Obama's background – especially how it relates to constitutional eligibility for the highest office in the land.
"As Obama transforms this country from self-governing constitutional republic to one governed by a central ruling elite, the simple fact remains that no controlling legal authority has established that he is indeed a 'natural born citizen' as the Constitution requires," Farah said. "Obama's promises of transparency have become a bad joke as he continues to hide simple, innocuous documents like his birth certificate and his student records."
The idea behind the billboard campaign is to make sure Obama cannot avoid this question any longer. He must be asked to produce it at every turn, Farah says. Billboard space is currently being hunted in Houston, Dallas, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle and other metro areas.
"Is it unusual for a news agency to launch such a campaign?" asks Farah. "Yes it is. But we live in very unusual times. The founding fathers built special protections into the First Amendment for the free press. The reason they did that is because they understood a vibrant 'Fourth Estate' was necessary as an independent watchdog on government. It is in that tradition that WND assumes this role – since nobody else in the press will do it."
Oddly, though congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a "natural born citizen," no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama's claim to a Hawaiian birth.
What's the hold up President Obama?

I agree; Mr. Obama, either put up, or shut up and step down. I prefer to have an honorable person as my President.

Your whole group currupting this site with this type of attack is pathetic.
Your weak, and you exploit propaganda and promote hate, and it is proven by your lack of respect for the majority of users here when you take a system for the improvement of society and turn it into a podium for hate...Take your concern and direct it you know where, Stay off this site if you can't behave your self
We want good people with good ideas. An idea to help make this country stronger I and others could support or debate it merits or not,and that is what this site is for. Even with the argument that your request has merit on this site. It certainly does not justify the manipulation of the principle of this site. Within minutes a coordinated effort to reapeatably post the same idea that is what is pathetic. It is an attack on everyone who comes here to participate.
A repetative posting of the same idea is a corrupt abuse of this site and the group forging ahead with this. The request you wish the president to answer does not belong on this site. And you and all the others who have posted this request as an idea know it.
klingspoon.troy>>> Wake up already! This isn't about hate, racism, or anything remotely like that...it's about the TRUTH! It's about Honor, Integrity and TRUST.
If we are to support our President, as I always have, and one who so amply speaks and promised "transparency" then why all the "secrecy"? I think the majority of "users" want whats' best for the entire country, NOT just a remote group of "sheeple" too afraid to ask the hard questions. I beleive in LESS government, LESS control, and more TRUTH... guess I'm not "behaving myself" for caring what happens to my child's future?
klingspoon.troy is responding (bashing)everyone who is asking the burning question about Obama's citizenship.
Maybe the sheer number of posting indicates a true concern? How simple is this???
OK... another idea: (for klingspoon.troy)
Not my idea...but a good one! Join the website!
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 296) is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.
The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
The FairTax:
Enables workers to keep their entire paychecks
Enables retirees to keep their entire pensions
Refunds in advance the tax on purchases of basic necessities
Allows American products to compete fairly
Brings transparency and accountability to tax policy
Ensures Social Security and Medicare funding
Closes all loopholes and brings fairness to taxation
Abolishes the IRS
Mr. Obama: You're Application for a Postion as President of U.S. is Incomplete

1To Mr. Obama: Before we can offer you the job of President of the USA, we, like many employers, must see an offical copy of your high school & college transcripts and other academic records. This would include transcripts from all colleges & schools attended by you. In order to be certain of your citizenship status we need to see your passport, green card or birth certificate. This must be an offical long form version of your birth certificate which would have been filed by the health department shortly after your birth. I want to see Mr. Obama's long form birth certificate and his accadmeic records from elementary school attended outside of the US in Indonesia and Occidental College & Columbia Univestiy as well and also his passport. His college transcripts should be submitted, as we the people, are his employer and employers often ask for these items. Proof of citizenship, proof of academic completion. If he fails to produce these documents we could charge him with lying on his application for the job as President. By the Way, the certificate version stamped form 2007 which was submitted online and posted on the stop the smears website is unacceptable. I cannot accept this version from any client I work with in social services and I cannot accpet this version from anyone who wants to apply for the highest office in the USA. You will have a deadline by which these documants must be submitted and authenticated before WE the People can accept. That deadline is 30 days from this date (6/2/09). Failure to produce these documents will drastically impede your ability to run for elected office in the USA again. Thank you and God bless.
Why Is This Idea Important?
Why Is This Idea Important? As stated above, failure to produce these documents will indicate Mr. Obama's ineligiblity for the job of President of the USA and will drastically affect his ability to run for any elected office in the future in the future.

DUPLICATE FLAGGED FOR DELETION.
You are entitled to your opinion and to express it here, openly and intelligently... ONCE.
Stop hijacking America. You are just as bad or worst than your accused. Move over and give some other ideas and topics some room.
Selfish and Arrogant.
DUPLICATE
This site has been rigged so that the posts asking for Obama to support transparency by providing his own birth certificate, health records and college records are not properly counted, even when they do not get deleted. An apologist for Obama responds to most posts with the dishonest comment that you can find a real copy of a birth certificate on factcheck - where a long exposed counterfeit birth certificate does reside.
I have done a personal count of more than 1,000 requests for his birth certificate. My analysis suggests there have been at least 5,000 request for Obama to produce his real birth certificate, college records, health records and other financial records.
It is possible to review this site to find the most requested ideas by scanning "Top Rated" posts, but the requests for Obama's records do not show up as being top rated. Those runnig this site are cooking the results.
According to the liars running this website the most requested item has NOT been Obama's birth certificate.
