WND: Birth Certificate Billboards Coming Soon

By Phil

WorldNetDaily is reporting that their campaign to raise funds for placing ads on billboards around the country leading people to wonder about birth certificates has raised $10,000 in 24 hours:

More than $10,000 has been raised thus far from many hundreds of donors ? more than enough to begin putting up the first billboards. The average donation was $25. WND will keep viewers up to date when billboards are erected.

[Joseph] Farah [Editor and CEO, WND] said the campaign was born of frustration with timid elected officials in Washington, corrupt judges around the country and a news media that show a stunning lack of curiosity about the most basic facts of Obama’s background ? especially how it relates to constitutional eligibility for the highest office in the land.

“As Obama transforms this country from self-governing constitutional republic to one governed by a central ruling elite, the simple fact remains that no controlling legal authority has established that he is indeed a ‘natural born citizen’ as the Constitution requires,” Farah said. “Obama’s promises of transparency have become a bad joke as he continues to hide simple, innocuous documents like his birth certificate and his student records.”

The idea behind the billboard campaign is to make sure Obama cannot avoid this question any longer. He must be asked to produce it at every turn, Farah says. Billboard space is currently being negotiated in Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Sacramento, San Francisco, New York-New Jersey, Des Moines, Seattle and other metro areas.

“Is it unusual for a news agency to launch such a campaign?” asks Farah. “Yes it is. But we live in very unusual times. The founding fathers built special protections into the First Amendment for the free press. The reason they did that is because they understood a vibrant ‘Fourth Estate’ was necessary as an independent watchdog on government. It is in that tradition that WND assumes this role ? since nobody else in the press will do it.”

Donations are being accepted to defray the costs of a national billboard campaign with the simple message: “Where’s the birth certificate?”
