Why Do Billboard Companies Hate the Truth?
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 8:50 am
WorldNetDaily does some in-house “reporting” on its campaign to buy billboard space demanding that President Obama hand over his birth certificate. The site’s hitting some snags:
Lamar [Outdoor] joins CBS, the No. 1 outdoor advertising company, in prohibiting its salesmen nationwide from accepting leases of billboards for a campaign that asks the simple question, “Where’s the birth certificate?” “We’re just not going to accept that copy,” Lamar spokesman Hal Kirshaw told WND. “We think it’s a settled matter. We think it’s misleading to indicate there’s any question about the president’s birth certificate. We looked at it and we made the call.”
WorldNetDaily, amusingly, accuses Kirshaw of lacking evidence for his theory.

=========The state Department of Health no longer issues copies of paper birth certificates as was done in the past, said spokeswoman Janice Okubo.
The department only issues “certifications” of live births, and that is the “official birth certificate” issued by the state of Hawaii, she said.
And, it's only available in electronic form.
Okubo explained that the Health Department went paperless in 2001.
“At that time, all information for births from 1908 (on) was put into electronic files for consistent reporting,” she said.
Information about births is transferred electronically from hospitals to the department.
“The electronic record of the birth is what (the Health Department) now keeps on file in order to provide same-day certified copies at our help window for most requests,” Okubo said.
Asked for more information about the short-form versus long-form birth documents, Okubo said the Health Department “does not have a short-form or long-form certificate.”
“The birth certificate form has been modified over the years and decades to conform to national standards and models,” she said.
Okubo also emphasized the certification form “contains all the information needed by all federal government agencies for transactions requiring a birth certificate.”
She added that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the state's current certification of live birth “as an official birth certificate meeting all federal and other requirements.”

Ok then, They can refuse as they are still a private company not run by the government. We will see how long they stay private. If you looked at it can you give any reasons why or expound on your evidence? And please don't regurgitate the same old it was posted on the internet on Factcheck.org or Obama website. Also it is not a birth certificate. It is a COLB. You cant even get a drivers liscense in Hawaii with that. But apparently you can become president with one.

Oh, and have you personally spoken with the Hawaiian DMV about their drivers license requirements or are you just making crap up (as usual)?

So, let’s look at this objectively. We have an image of a certified document issued by the state of Hawaii. Given that the Governor of Hawaii is a republican and that she appointed the current head of the state department of health to her position, I think it is safe to say that if the scanned document did not match the data in the States records, then that would have come out by now. Altering or forging a state certified document is a crime.
This document states specifically that President Obama was born in Honolulu.
There is no need to go any further than that.

All we want is the truth, and these companies conspire to hide it from us.
Have they ever heard of freedom of speech? How about discrimination?
I have seen obscene billboards they have happily posted.
If CBS and Lamar want to be a part of the lie, then we should all BOYCOTT both of them NOW!

The truth, you can't handle the truth, that is why you have retreted to your fantasy world where you are free to express your hatred for President Obama without feeling guilty over the reasons.
This birth certificate nonsense is just that, nonsense. Men like Farah are scamming you and laughing all the way to the bank.
BTW, hoe the hell are you going to boycott a billboard company? and do you really think they care what a handfull of nuts think?

John Edwards debated Hillary Clinton on her stance about New York plan to allow undocumented, illegal immigrants to receive driver license.
New York DMV had told me 5 months before that debate that they could not exchange my California Driver license, without a birth certificate, or passport.
I told them I was a Native American Indian, had served in the Marine Corp, and did not have my birth certificate, because it was very fragile and faded after 60 + years old. My passport was with me but was expired. Needless to say I cold not apply for the job that summer, because it would take too long to provide those documents. I have exchanged my Cal DL many times in the last 40 years, in over 30 countries, 10 states, including several times in both Alaska, and Hawaii.
I tried to persuade them, but got caught in the Hobson’s choice, unlike it seems that the elites of the Left get a pass. Now I may be wrong, but that is one of my hundreds of experiences using ID. I now have both ID renewed for the new socialist state, if only we could get our guest to compile also. I sent $500 to help “Where’s my birth certificate” billboard campaign, Plus I am giving away over 2000 bumper sticker with the same. I love free speech, since I got shot at for that free speech. How about them apples! and that not a reference to Jewish people.

I do not have a problem with a black man as president but I do wish that he was the caliber of a Clarence Thomas. I do have a problem with him not being a natural born citizen a requirement to be POTUS according the Constitution. You ask what does that mean? It means both parents must be U.S. citizens at the time of the child's birth & born on U.S. soil.

Wrong, It makes no difference who his parents were, if he was born in the U.S., then he is a natural born citizen.
Bobby Jhindal is a natural born citizen, even though he is practically an anchor baby.

WND has done a superb job of exposing the STRONG POSSIBILITY OF INELIGIBILITY of the usurper Obama and WND will get the facts out in the open. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS are asking the question, WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE? to Obama, and until this question is answered with production of the ORIGINAL LONG FORM COMPLETE CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH THIS QUESTION WILL NOT GO AWAY AND WILL GROW STRONGER DAILY. Americans want the truth. Americans deserve no less. Obama is a PUBLIC SERVANT and is ANSWERABLE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. If it turns out that he is in fact INELIGIBLE TO THE PRESIDENT, THEN HE IS NOTHING BUT A USURPER AND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY BASED ON THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONSTITUTION and then PROSECUTED FOR FRAUD to the full extent of the law.

WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
It is astounding that BO has not produced a certified copy of his original “Certificate of Live Birth” with the full information on his birth from the State of Hawaii. He even referred to having the original of this document in his possession in his book “Dreams From My Father,” so he at least at one time had his original birth certificate in his physical possession and he has never stated that he lost it.
Some are confused over the specific forms of birth documents issued by the State of Hawaii. There are two types of initial documents that are issued 1) Certificate of Live Birth, and 2) Certification of Live Birth. The difference is that the Certificate of Live Birth can only be obtained by those born in the State of Hawaii, while the Certification of Live Birth can be obtained by people not actually born in the State of Hawaii.
Hawaii also issues computer-generated summaries of birth documents with partial information from the original certificates or certifications. Such a summary form is called by the State of Hawaii a “Certification of Live Birth” – not a “Certificate.”
What Barack Obama has released on his web sites and to FactCheck.org is “Certification of Live Birth” that was stated to have been prepared by the State of Hawaii in 2007. The authenticity of this document has been questioned by a number of people. The only scanned version that was released by Obama is void on its face because it has been altered with the redaction (blacking out) of the Certification number. This very Certification states clearly in bold on the bottom of it that “ANY ALTERATIONS INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE.” Few have commented on this point, but it is astounding that he would to this day have an altered certificate up on his web sites given the very clear statement on the bottom of the Certification.
The other version of this Certification of Live Birth that is up on the web is the one without the redaction of the Certificate number 151 1961 – 010641 which is up on the FactCheck.org web site. Strangely, there is no scan of that document, however, but just various photos of it taken at odd angles. These photos indicate fold lines on the document whereas the flat scan version with the certification number redacted on the Obama web sites do not indicate any evidence of fold marks. Yet, FactCheck.org claims to have the same Certification issued in 2007 that Obama has up on his sites. This raises even more questions about how these can even be the same document given the fold marks on one and not the other.
The strangest part of this whole situation is that it would never have become any issue at all had Obama simply released his own personal original copy of his “Certificate of Live Birth” -to the Federal Election Commission or the press or the courts – that he claimed he had in his book. He also could have obtained from the State of Hawaii – and can easily do so now – a certified copy of his original full version (the vault copy) which would end all questioning over what it says and its authenticity. The State of Hawaii officials could easily vet and fully substantiate the validity of such a copy.
This issue will simply become a bigger and bigger issue until and unless the original “Certificate” – or “Certification” – “of Live Birth” is presented for review and confirmation. John McCain released his publicly to end all dispute. Now it is time – way past time – for Barack Hussein Obama II to release his.
Americans deserve no less.

The recorded legal name of his step-father who adopted him was LOLO SOETORO. Obama was adopted in Indonesia and by all accounts became an Indonesian citizen with the legal name of Barry (or Barrack) SOETORO as a result of that adoption.
However, when he returned to Hawaii in 1971 he started using the name Barry (Barrack) H. Obama II again WITHOUT APPLYING FOR A LEGAL NAME CHANGE. Did he ever have his name changed back to that given him at birth? Was he ever naturalized as a US citizen after having been an Indonesian citizen? Did he ever revoke his Indonesian citizenship? Was he using an Indonesian passport for his travel between the late 1960s and 1981? These are some of the many unanswered questions about Mr. Obama/Soetoro.

“Mr. Obama Refuses To Show He Is Constitutionally Qualified To Be President” By Vincent Gioia
“President Barack Obama has hired an army of lawyers to prevent access to records that may show he is constitutionally unqualified to be president of the United States.
Doesn't that seem odd to you?
The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
A California lawsuit seeking documentation from Occidental College that could verify the nationality under which Barack Obama entered the school has been filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation, which has brought a lawsuit on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes over Obama's eligibility. Defense lawyers for Obama are trying to quash the request for Occidental records, arguing that any objections to Obama's presidential candidacy and victory should have been raised in Congress at the time of the Electoral College vote. However there was an effort to raise the question with the Electoral College but the court refused to intervene. Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship but his case was denied.
As part of the suit filed by USJF, a subpoena was served on Occidental College for its records. School officials immediately contacted lawyers for Obama and said the demand would have to be answered unless they intervened. Obama's lawyers then submitted a demand to the court arguing the case was moot because the election was over and the correct place to resolve such concerns was in Congress now and challenges should have been made to the Electoral College who confirmed Obama's election as president. [But as pointed out previously such an effort was timely made but was rebuffed.]
Papers filed on behalf of USJF also cautioned: “If MR. OBAMA is not constitutionally eligible to serve as President of the United States, then no act that he takes is, arguably, valid, the laws that he signs would not be valid, the protective orders that he signs would be null and void, and every act that he takes would be subject to legal challenge, both in Courts of the United States of America, and in International Courts, and that, therefore, it is important for the voters to know whether he, or any candidate for President in the future, is eligible to serve in that office.”
Obama has refused to document his U.S. citizenship and as a result his eligibility to be president under the Constitution's requirement for a “natural born” citizen, have been challenged in court.
Although Obama could settle all questions about his eligibility to be president by simply producing his birth certificate or authorizing others to do so; instead, a series of law firms have been hired on Obama's behalf around the nation to prevent any public access to his birth certificate, passport records, college records and other documents.
Obama has refused to document his U.S. citizenship and, therefore, his eligibility to be president under the Constitution's requirement for a “natural born” citizen.
What do you conclude from this?”

“If He Has Nothing To Hide, He Has No Reason To Hide It” By Carolyn Hileman
“If I have something I wish to hide, I will lock it away and never allow anyone access, much like our president and his birth certificate. Now I know some of you are thinking why does it even matter, well first of all if he waits till he has had one to two terms in office and then tells us all he was not born in America, well then every single thing he has done has been illegal. Now of course the simple thing to do would be to show the thing and shut everyone up, but he seems to think the American people have no right to see it, kind of like the stimulus bill they passed and to be honest that just does not seem right from a man who harped daily about how the Bush administration should have been transparent, now does it???? Then there is the question of what is he afraid of, why not unearth the thing and rub it in the noses of the people who have thrown such a fit about it, it would have the effect of shutting up thousands of people and discrediting them all in an instant, so why hide it???
Another reason it is important is because when some one joins our military they must show their birth certificate, if you are to work legally in the USA you must show proof of birth, if your child attends school, you must show their birth certificate as a matter of fact the only people not required to show these documents are the illegal immigrants, that kind of says it all doesn't it??? Why shouldn't the office that is the highest in the land be required to show their birth certificate? When McCain's birth place was questioned he showed proof of his birth place, yet Obama even before he was elected had the governor of Hawaii seal his? Why, what is it he does not want us to see? What is he afraid of? Why is it the national media will not report, that several states have declared their sovereignty, and at least two active military and one retired military personnel have openly requested proof that he is eligible to be Commander and chief?”

ObaMachine has a lot of bigger things to worry about than how much of our US taxpayer dollars he can waste. He hasn’t even proven himself to be qualified to be inaugurated as President of the United States, and the American people must demand that he do so forthwith.
What is at issue is a set of factual and legal issues that ABSOLUTELY MUST BE ANSWERED:
1. Where was Barack Hussein Obama II actually born? This can only be established by a true certified “Certificate of Live Birth” (not “Certification”) from the State of Hawaii. He has absolutely failed to produce this despite it being demanded by the public and in discovery motions in various lawsuits. In fact, BO has fought vigorously and at great legal cost to suppress the discovery of this document.
2. What impact does the fact he became a British subject (equivalent to citizen) at the time of his birth due to the fact that his father was a Kenyan subject which was controlled by British rule and the relevant 1948 UK act automatically made Barack Hussein Obama II a British subject by virtue of his father's British subject status. Even BO does not deny this and confirms that he was a British subject up to age 21 at which time this status “expired.”
3. Did the adoption of Barack Hussein Obama II by Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen who married his mother Stanley Ann in 1964, result in his renunciation of US citizenship when they (Lolo, Stanley Ann, & Barack) moved to Indonesia around 1964 and he was enrolled in an Indonesian school as a stated Indonesian citizen? Indonesia did not at the time recognize dual citizenship and only Indonesian citizens were allowed to attend Indonesian schools. What impact does this have on his status as a US citizen? If he renounced his US citizenship at this time during which he went by the name Barry Soetoro, did he ever reapply to be naturalized as a citizen in America?
4. Did he ever hold passports from other countries in which he was a subject or citizen? Specifically, did he ever have a British or Kenyan passport? Did BO ever have an Indonesian passport? What is the status of his American passport and when was it granted? What document(s) of birth did he submit to obtain his American passport?
5. BO acknowledges in his book, “Dreams From My Father” that he physically had in his possession a folded copy of his ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE. He has never claimed that he lost this Certificate. Where is it? Why won't he produce it now that it is critical to support his contention that he is qualified to be President of the US? If he has this, then people stating that somehow Hawaii won't provide a duplicate of the full long-form vault original “Certificate of Live Birth” is irrelevant.
6. Is the “marriage” of Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama in Hawaii in February 1962 even valid? At the time that his stated father allegedly married his mother Stanley Ann, BHO was already married to another woman in Kenya and had already has a child with this woman. BHO stayed married to his first wife and ultimately had 4 children with her before his death in 1982. His father also married another woman at Harvard while he was married to his first wife. Polygamy was apparently OK in Kenya, but does this or doesn't this invalidate a marriage in Hawaii and the US?
7. On his college records, did he register as a US citizen or as a foreign citizen at a) Occidental in Los Angeles, b) Columbia in New York, and c) Harvard in Massachusetts? Why would he want to have his college records sealed and why did he in fact take substantial legal efforts to seal these? One would think he would be proud of his academic accomplishments as opposed to going to great lengths to hide the actual records. What is behind this bizarre level of secrecy?
8. What document(s) of birth did he produce to satisfy the rules of the FEC (Federal Elections Commission) or any of the State Secretaries? Why has the DNC (Democratic National Committee), FEC, or State Secretaries not come forward and made the simple statement that they examined his Certificate of Live Birth and found everything in order if that is the case? Not a single person in any capacity including the State of Hawaii officials has come forward and stated that they have examined his birth certificate and found all to be in order. This is beyond bizarre.
9. What is the US Supreme Court going to do about this to ensure that Barack Hussein Obama II properly has met the clear requirements of the US Constitution that he be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN? What are the other courts in which there are more than a dozen pending lawsuits over this very issue going to do to ensure the same? Americans must demand that he is in fact qualified, or the fact is that BO has committed a MAJOR FELONY FRAUD.

There have been questions as to what information is on a State of Hawaii 1961-1963 Certificate of Live Birth, but not on a later computer-generated Certification of Live Birth, the latter of which is the only documentation that ObaMachine has produced regarding his birth – and the copy of that he produced is an altered copy (Certificate Number is redacted/blacked-out) which is void on its face per the statement at the bottom of it which clearly states “ANY ALTERATIONS INVALIDATE THIS CERTIFICATE.” The following is a complete set of fields from the original 1961 State of Hawaii long form Certificate of Live Birth.

Alftird has been blogging about this since last year. I think he is part of ACORN or some organization as it appears to be a union job. Google his name and birth certificate.
Obama should sign a release and produce a copy of the vault certificate the State of Hawaii has announced they are holding. It will be produced one of these days.
Obama is a one term president over this. He will not make it through the primary next time without having to be vetted.

The message “Where's the Birth Certificate?” is kinda' lame. Obama should be arrested or at least impeached. This is easily the most devastating constitutional-crisis we have ever faced. Obama should take a lesson from Nixon and resign to end this “national nightmare”. He has to know he is guilty of this fraud and what his true citizenship status is. If he will just tell us he is sorry and resign he won't face imprisonment, hanging or deportation.
