SAN ANTONIO, Texas – “Remember the Alamo!” is the most famous slogan in this part of the country.
But WND’s Joseph Farah is hoping his slogan will catch on here as well.
The newest addition to the “Where’s the birth certificate?” billboard campaign hit San Antonio this week – sparking discussions on radio talk shows and lots of water-cooler chit-chat.
The billboard is located on Interstate 10 and Highway 37 at the Pine Avenue exit.

The national fund-raising campaign to erect many, many more billboards around the country questioning Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility for office is going strong – with a total of $120,000 collected so far.
Farah 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 and disturbing 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.
Not surprisingly, the campaign was quickly met with opposition. Just two weeks after it was launched, CBS, one of the largest media conglomerates and a leading provider of outdoor advertising, officially banned its local salesmen from accepting the “birth certificate” billboard leases from WND. No reason was ever given.

A few days later, Lamar Advertising, another billboard industry giant joined CBS.
And a few days after that Clear Channel, a media goliath owning 1,200 radio stations across America and controlling tens of thousands of billboards, followed suit.
But the campaign had already made waves. Suddenly, there were debates on Fox News over the issue of Obama’s eligibility mentioning the billboard campaign. MSNBC followed with reports – albeit sneering ones. Rush Limbaugh talked about the birth certificate issue all three hours in one of his daily shows – the largest talk-radio program in the world.
Farah’s phone has not stopped ringing since with media calls.
Even local TV news and local talk-radio programs got into the act – sometimes together.

But the real fruit of the campaign, explains Farah, are the billboards themselves.
“Seeing these billboards springing up around the country is quite a phenomenon,” he says. “It has been less than six weeks since this idea was hatched and already the billboards are becoming a familiar sight.”
Farah also devised a way for everyone to get into the act – with your own car or your own yard.

WND previously launched a petition campaign that has collected nearly half a million names demanding Obama’s eligibility be verified and demonstrated publicly. That campaign continues. That list has been shared with members of the Electoral College and the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
