The controversy over the birth certificate of Barack Obama has exploded now that WorldNetDaily has posted a major article about the situation.

This appears to be a story that simply will not go away.

WorldNetDaily tried repeatedly to get a response from the Obama campaign on this issue, but they were totally ignored.

So just WHAT is Obama hiding?

Meanwhile, there are new developments to report:

-Blogger Mitchell Langbert has launched a petition to request the Federal Election Commission to investigate Barack Obama's birth certificate.

On his blog, Langbert explains: "Mr. Obama has refused to produce a physical certified, stamped copy of his birth certificate. An electronically displayed imaged displayed by his official campaign website has alleged to have been a forgery. … We request that the FEC require Mr. Obama to authorize the FEC to obtain an official copy of his birth certificate."

-Ted Moran who can be contacted at brotherbear@solomonsstables.org is looking to file a series of lawsuits across the United States to get to the bottom of this thing:

"I am looking for 50 brave men or women from 49 states and the District of Columbia to join me in suing the secretaries of state in our respective states to prevent them from posting the name Barak H. Obama on the November 2008 ballot until he presents incontrovertible proof that he is a … U.S. citizen," Moran said. "The secretaries of state are the ones who by placing a person or initiative on the ballot certify that the candidates or initiatives meet the legal requirements to be on the ballot."

Moran also explained: "The office of the president is simply too important to trust to someone other than a person whose loyalties are 100 percent American, and while it is impossible to read into the heart of a man or woman we do have the test our forefathers gave us."

This is a story that people are not going to let die. Keep your eyes on this one folks.
