I think a more effective way to get the real (and complete) issue in front of the public (and ensure that it is discussed and not ignored) would be billboards that just simply say in large black letters on a white background:

...of parentS who were its citizens

This would be a better use of the $$$ than the current "Where's the birth certificate" posters.

WND does not seem interested in facts so much as marketing a tantalizing conspiracy. It has always been puzzling. Jerome Corsi and Joe Farah seemed tireless in pursuit of a truth they will most likely never be able to verify, while never mentioning Barry's British father, and his lack allegiance to our nation of laws. Where he was born was McCain's transgression, one seen by many as an unfortunate technicality, since McCain's allegiance was never doubted. Barry's allegiance IS the problem; one which greatly concerned our founders and framers.

I like your billboard - short, while conveying the critical invalidating issue. Never known for my concision, I wanted to use Bingham's focus on allegiance, and thought of:

Did his parents 'not owe allegiance to any foreign sovereignty?'

I know. Only the well informed will understand. John Marshall was remarkable for coming directly to the point, as was Vattel, the source for Marshall, and your billboard.

That phrase would work as well. Anything to get the discuss focused on NBC.

I can certainly understand a focus being on obtaining a legally valid and authenticated BC as a first step, for without it we are left speculating on the issue. At this point we are operating on the assumption that BHO, Sr. as a parent renders the child NOT an NBC. We are assuming that BHO, Sr. is a parent based on literary works, campaign website content, and a widely invalidated COLB posting on the Internet. Without real proof of this assumption, we are left in the starting blocks in terms of an NBC discussion. Perhaps that is the real reason that none has been forthcoming. (There may be valid & legal proof of this narrative (BHO, Sr. & SAD as parents & Hawaiian birth) available somewhere, but until it is unearthed or presented, the NBC discussion is left pending.)

I just get frustrated reading/hearing all of the blather in the media in which the NBC discussion is never even mentioned. It has gotten to the point where the term isn't even used in most discussions (or it is bastardized in some way like "native citizen").
