Hello Peter,
I am certainly glad that our new President's authenticity
of his birth certificate has not been totally 'swept under
the carpet' and is still causing more and more murmurings
concerning why Obama had it locked away from any
scrutiny in the first place.
Its seems already there are more American's who did vote
for him are starting to doubt their wisdom in voting for him because now they are starting to ask questions and be nervous about his ability of running as head of our country
and the laws he is passing are alarming and scary for the future and some are coming forth and admitting with regret their vote for him.
Here is a newspaper article I received in my email to share:
Knox-area legislators seek Obama birth certificate

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/feb/13/knox-area-legislators-seek-obama-birth-certificate/Two Knox County legislators have joined House Republican Caucus
Chairman Glen Casada in signing up as supporters of a lawsuit trying to
force President Obama to turn over a copy of his birth certificate.
Reps. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville and Frank Niceley of Strawberry
Plains say they agreed to be listed as plaintiffs in hopes of resolving
contentions that Obama may actually have been born outside of the
United States, which would mean he cannot serve as president under a
provision of the U.S. Constitution.
Casada and Rep. Eric Swafford, R-Pikeville, also acknowledged they
will back Defend Our Freedoms Foundation in the lawsuit, one of several
expected to be filed. The U.S. Supreme Court already has refused to
hear one such lawsuit and Democratic legislators suggest the whole
thing is an unfounded conspiracy theory.
"I want to end the controversy," Campfield said. "Obama claims he
wants to be a very open person and this is the perfect way to show that
- by turning over the birth certificate to get over all the questions
and concerns."
Obama's campaign last year provided copies of a certificate
indicating the president was born in Hawaii to various media outlets,
but Campfield said there were questions about whether the document was
"a certification, not a certificate - and there's a difference."
Democratic legislators made jokes about the lawsuit and one of the
supporting Republicans at a news conference on Thursday when Swafford's
involvement was noted by a reporter.
Rep. Larry Miller, D-Memphis, asked, "Who is Eric Swafford? Where's he from?"
Replied House Democratic Leader Gary Odom of Nashville: "From Mars."
More details as they develop online and in Saturday's News Sentinel.
