Birth Certificate
President Obama,

Let's REALLY begin a new era in transperency. Please release your birth certificate for the People of the United States to review. My kids cannot play organized sports without showing a certified copy of their birth certificate. Disneyland even requires your birth certificate to enter their park for free on your birthday. I think the least you could do is provide this document. Why wouldn't you?

Why Is This Idea Important?

It's required by the Constitution. If he is legitamitely a citizen, it should not be an issue.

If Obama really believes in an Open Transparent government and he wants both citizens and government employees to hold the same belief; then he has to lead by example -- by releasing a certified legal copy of the long form of his Certificate of Live Birth.

The more he refuses and fights this the more he looks like a hypocrite on Open Transparent government.

He already has.See http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp for an on-line version. Also Hawaii has two major newspapers, the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star Bulletin.BOTH newspapers include birth announcements, and BOTH newspapers record the August 4th, 1961 birth of Barack Obama.

snopes.com dunno nothing!

It is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators and researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation that began as a hobby.
David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley of California started the website about 13 years ago - and they have no formal background or experience in investigative research. After a few years it gained popularity believing it to be unbiased and neutral, but over the past couple of years people started asking questions who was behind it and did they have a selfish motivation? The reason for the questions – or skepticisms - is a result of snopes. com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues.

so we should trust snopes.com to verify OUR president is legally eligible?!?! I don't think so!

I am not yet convinced Obama is an illegal president, although I am also not sure he is Constitutionally qualified to be president.
But, rather than arguing this point I ask the following.
Even if we get clear proof Obama is not qualified to be president, what can we do? Obama controls the military and the rest of federal law enforcement agents.

ricardomigrant, . . If He is proven positively to be unqualified and illegal as President, . . You can bet that the Military and Law Enforcement will make certain that he makes a hasty retreat back to Illinois, . . OR KENYA !!!
