Open communication and non-agenda driven transparency is paramount to a free people and their government. The goal of transparency is to promote accountability and to provide information to it’s citizen’s about what their government is doing.
At the very core of the concept of transparency and open government is the idea that US citizens will have the right to hold their elected officials accountable.
Currently, there is endless debate about whether Barack Hussein Obama, our sworn leader, is truly constitutionally eligible to hold the office of the President of the United States, as he has yet to produce a long-form birth certificate indicating that he is natural-born citizen of the United States, as well as, any documentation that would further serve the truth in this matter – passports, college transcripts, and the like.
Rather than simply releasing this information, as other political candidates have had to do throughout political history when challenged, he has hired his own legal-team of lawyers across the country he work endlessly to prevent disclosure of this most basic of personal data – a document that Americans are forced to produce every day to enroll in school, take a driver’s test, or sign-up for Little League.
Our military men and women must produce the same document to serve and shed their blood for a country led by a President who refuses to submit him self to the same basic requirement. If his presidency began with being sworn in, then transparency must begin with the willing release of his long-form birth certificate to the American people.
Widespread concern about this issue has been expressed before, during, and now after the most recent Presidential election, and further expressed by a recent petition that has garnered more than 400,000 signatures from concerned Americans, hundreds of threads on various web-sites “viraling” into thousands of comments surrounding the lack of transparency on behalf our current President on this matter, bumper-stickers and other “pop culture” forms of expression, and a nation-wide billboard campaign funded by private citizens who simply want our highest elected official to remove any doubt about the issue of his natural-born citizenship.
This is a reasonable request that continues to be met with UN-reasonable resistance.
These facts cannot and should not be ignored.
Transparency is critical to open Government. President Obama’s own words state, “Openness ensures the public trust, promotes efficiency and effectiveness in government, and strengthens our democracy.”
Until the eligibility issue is properly addressed and the hundreds of thousands of citizens are heard, there is no real transparency taking place on behalf of our President. “Openness and transparency” begins and ends with President Barack Hussein Obama.
