Billboards and yards signs have been sprouting around the United States asking a four-word question about President Obama's eligibility to occupy the White House, and the issue has been mentioned on Fox News and by Rush Limbaugh. But the hottest item in the effort to obtain transparency from the Obama administration continues to be WND's "Where's The Birth Certificate" Magnetic Bumper Sticker, which is in the top position among best-sellers at the WND Superstore for the third week in a row.

The question is very simple: Where is the documentation that Obama, indeed, qualifies under the requirements of the U.S. Constitution to be president? The bumper sticker allows people to make a bold demand for the truth.

The magnetic, permanent yet removable bumper sticker measures 15 by 3-3/4 inches and is perfect not only for your car, but for your refrigerator, file cabinet or any magnetic surface where you would like to make a statement.

It's available singly and in packs of 5, 10 and 25.

WND has reported extensively on the issue, with a report called "THE FULL STORY" that lists more than 200 exclusive WND stories on the question.

Over the last two weeks, the entire transparency portion of the White House website on "open government dialogue" was overrun with citizens calling on Obama to release his elusive "long-form" birth certificate to establish his constitutional eligibility to serve as president.

Among the comments posted:

  • We need to keep the pressure on! How did BO even get one foot in the White House door without a birth certificate?
  • He can't show what doesn't exist! He is a Kenyan usurper and with his minions of baby-killers will ruin our nation!
  • It is a foregone conclusion that Obama is not a natural born citizen. No one would work so hard to hide the truth.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs earlier laughed at the reporter who inquired about the long-form birth certificate at a news briefing. But a national billboard campaign launched by Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, already has raised more than $75,000, and a number of billboards have been erected.

That campaign followed one launched months earlier to collect names on an electronic petition demanding accountability and transparency on the issue. So far, the petition has gathered nearly 400,000 names.

In his questioning of Gibbs, WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving specifically made reference to the WND petition.

"Are you looking for the president's birth certificate?" Gibbs responded incredulously. "Lester, this question in many ways continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy with the seal of the president's birth. I know there are apparently at least 400,000 people – (laughter) – that continue to doubt the existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each of those 400,000 to download. I certainly hope by the fourth year of our administration that we'll have dealt with this burgeoning birth controversy."

It was the first time any member of the press corps has publicly asked a member of the administration a question directly related to Obama's constitutional eligibility for office as a "natural born citizen."

Politico has video of the exchange:

The "Certification of Live Birth" posted online and widely touted as "Obama's birth certificate" does not in any way prove he was born in Hawaii, since the same "short-form" document was easily obtainable for children not born in Hawaii. The true "long-form" birth certificate – which includes information such as the name of the birth hospital and attending physician – is the only document that can prove Obama was born in Hawaii. But to date he has not permitted its release for public scrutiny.

Oddly, though congressional hearings were held to determine whether Sen. John McCain was constitutionally eligible to be president as a "natural born citizen," no controlling legal authority ever sought to verify Obama's claim to a Hawaiian birth.

Both the petition and the billboard campaign are part of what Farah calls an independent "truth and transparency campaign."

Your billboard campaign donation – from as little as $5 to as much as $1,000 – can be made online at the WND SuperStore. (Donations are not tax-deductible. Donations of amounts greater than $1,000 can be arranged by calling either 541-474-1776 or 1-800-4WND.COM. If you would prefer to mail in your contributions, they should be directed to WND, P.O. Box 1627, Medford, Oregon, 97501. Be sure to specify the purpose of the donation by writing "billboard" on the check. In addition, donations of billboard space will be accepted, as will significant contributions specifically targeted for geographic locations.)


In second place is "Already Gone," a book by Ken Ham and Britt Beemer that warns of the catastrophic loss of young adults from America's evangelical Christian churches.

"Research shows that an alarming number of young adults are leaving church in middle school and high school. Over 60 percent of children who grow up in the church will leave it as young adults. Why is there a massive exodus at such a young age?" the book asks.

Ham, president of Answers in Genesis and the acclaimed new Creation Museum, and Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, surveyed 1,000 young adults who have left churches and found a surprising source for this exodus.

 

The book suggests a "Sunday school syndrome" is contributing, by focusing on inspiration and morality of Bible stories rather than how to defend the authority of God's Word.

"Already Gone" argues that if a child is unable to defend the historicity and fact of Genesis, then he or she will quickly be disillusioned with the church.

"Ultimately, if we are unable to defend Genesis, we have allowed the enemy to attack our Christian faith and undermine the very first book of the Bible," the book says.


In third place is "Taking America Back" by Joseph Farah, a laser-focused response to "an unresponsive and unaccountable one-party political system, an establishment propaganda machine posing as a free press, and cultural institutions – educational, charitable, entertainment, religious, medical, and others – seduced by the materialistic gods of an all-powerful secular state."

"Taking America Back" is thus about freedom, the freedom the founding generation of leaders fought for in establishing the United States. Farah reveals how Americans have moved from being freedom fighters to comfort lovers, and he calls for all citizens to realize where the present state of affairs is taking the nation..

Now is the time, he writes, to choose to live under the rule of law or under the rule of judicial government and a constitution that is a "living document," which for all practical purposes means living without a constitution.

"The choice is simple: the world of standards and morality, of marriage, order, the rule of law, and accountability to God or the world of anything goes, aberrant behavior, do-your-own-thing lifestyles, and moral codes that change with the speed of the latest public opinion polls," he writes.
