The cacophony is growing.
There is a din of media outrage being expressed.
Pundits and talking heads are losing their heads – not to mention their cool.
Over what?
It's not health care.
It's not cap and trade.
It's not even whether Barack Obama thinks black people are always right and cops are always wrong.
It's whether the man sitting in the White House for the last six months is constitutionally eligible.
About three months ago, some of you will remember, I set out to make this happen. I launched a billboard campaign with just this goal in mind – raising the visibility of the story, which had been all but forgotten because of the bailouts, the stimulus packages and the government grab for power under the new regime.
"Where's the birth certificate?" was the campaign. Many of you criticized me for the choice of words. Yet, you bought up the bumper stickers by the tens of thousands. You erected the yard signs and held up the rally signs at tea parties. And you supported the billboard effort with financial contributions.

But I thought Joe was telling us there would be HUGE news on the BC issue this week.
(Where is Larry Nichols when you really need him?)
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
By the time the birth certificate is actually produced, no one will believe it’s validity anyway. That way, the white house can just sit back and say those that questioned the bc really are crazy, because I produced it, and now no one believes it.
Where's the BC's indeed, WND?
I agree with Robin. I think we need to get off of this issue, as it’s starting to make us look like we’re just out to get Obama no matter what. He’s giving us plenty of other issues that are easy to make something of and not come off just looking like sore losers to the uninformed. We spent a lot of time on Whitewater during the Clinton years and in the end, nobody really cared, but it made us look bad.
Why are you asking WND where Obama’s B/C is?
Ask Obama!
IMO, he is an ‘Anchor Baby’.
Imagine how many BC you could buy for the price of just one $65m Gulfstream 550 jet.
If you are trying to convince people that we should weigh appearance over the Constitution, you're on the wrong web site.
There is no reason to get off this issue, just don’t be rabid about it. A president should want to produce his qualifying documents because he should want to celebrate our constitution. If he doesn’t then it is an issue and should not be swept away because it makes you look a certain way.
I cannot imagine Jeffereson, Adams and Franklin saying “We should ditch the pursuit of happiness line because it makes us look kooky”. Either you stand on principles (all of your principles), or you don’t. They are not negotiable based on how they make you appear. On our principles, we must, as they said, hang together or most assuradely we will all hang separately.
Unfortunately, I believe there are many that really are out to get him, no matter what. You’re right, it really doesn’t make us look good at all. I think it was all planned. Whether the birth certificate exists or not, it won’t change anything. What will change things, are the elections in 2010 and 2012.
What solution could realistically be forced?
At this point in time or in the future, if a birth certificate were produced, how could it’s validity be verified?
He’s already produced the document you get for the $12.50 (or whatever the fee is).
