Obama author Andy Martin extends a warm welcome to President Obama to participate in a conference devoted to obtaining access to Obama’s birth certificate and college records. Martin says that Obama should act in a spirit of generosity and release both his birth and college records. Martin says the mainstream media’s use of the term “birthers” is inaccurate. Obama’s opposition is led by “Doubters,” whom Martin compares to “Doubting Thomases.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
March 30, 2009
Conference updates:
1. Obama invited to attend or participate in conference
We have invited President Obama to attend or participate in the Conference. Because he will be outside the United States he would obviously have to send a representative. A copy of the letter inviting the president follows this update.
2. Taping and recording the conference
One person is already making arrangements to tape the conference, for later editing and broadcast on the Internet. Others have also expressed a desire to tape, edit and post. If you wish to videotape or audio record the conference please let us know in advance. As of now, we don’t see any problem with multiple cameras or tape recorders. If you want to donate an AV PA system, please do.
3. We need money; please send
Because registrations will be coming in up to March 31st, we have no idea how many people will be attending. The nominal $10 registration fee will not cover the costs of increasing our space in a major hotel three blocks from the White House.
If you would like to make an online contribution to help defray the costs of the Conference please donate at:
http://CommitteeofOneMilliontoDefeatBarackObama.com.
You can also send a check to me at the Conference registration address in New York (see above).
In either case, just mark your check “conference expenses” or send us a separate e-mail if you make an online donation, and we will only use your donation to defray the costs of the Conference. If attendance exceeds expectations, we will need a quick thousand dollars to move to a larger room.
Please help if you can.
4. Second reminder on local contact number, etc.
As soon as we have occupied our space at the Capital Hilton, we will issue an e-mail and twitter.com update. My cell-phone will be your phone contact. (917) 664-9329; please make a note of it. Usually I do not have my cell phone on all the time, but it will be on constantly starting April 2nd.
5. The “Big Surprise”
We have had more e-mails with people expressing their opinions on what the “Big Surprise” will be on April 4th. You are welcome to submit your guess. We will try to recognize the winner, if there is one.

Dear President Obama:
I am writing to invite you to attend the National Conference on Barack Obama’s Missing Birth Certificate and College Records.
You are of course welcome to send an aide or representative in your stead.
While it may seem unusual to invite you to attend a meeting questioning your provenance and college records, I believe there are good reasons for you to want to participate. Our invitation reflects that the conference is open (subject to nominal registration requirements) to the public. It will probably be recorded and broadcast on the Internet. Our conference will be devoted to searching for the truth and facts, not devoted to personal attacks.
I note, parenthetically, that out of all of the persons who questioned your qualifications in 2008, I was the only one that you sent Mr. Gibbs out to attack by name. I consider that testimony to the fact that I was using fair and impartial scholarly research techniques to search for the truth. My research and writing probably cost you millions of votes, although it did not cost you the presidency. I certainly cost you a bigger landslide. And I am not going away. I am working on a second book, pursuing my litigation and energizing my research, all with the spirit of openness and honesty that has always been my hallmark over the decades.
Finally, while the “mainstream media” have declared you a ”natural born citizen,” it is undeniable that a significant number of Americans have rejected the media’s preemptory diktat. My guess is that the number of “Doubters” is far larger than you or your media acolytes care to admit. The mainstream media make fun of the people they call “birthers,” but as I point out below in this letter these citizens are merely “Doubters.” There is room for doubt. I know it and you know it.
Since you yourself have said you are devoting attention to non-traditional channels of communication, I would think you would want to quell rumors and suspicions. “Doubters” include Democrats, Republicans and independents.
As you are no doubt aware, I have pending litigation in Hawai’i seeking access to your original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. Why not surprise everyone by sending someone to the Conference with a written, notarized authorization directing Hawai’i officials to release that document? It would show a spirit of openness and confidence on your part that has been lacking in the past. And what about access to the college records?
I met David Axelrod over 30 years ago, when he was still working for a living at the Chicago Tribune. Your media advice is in capable hands. Nevertheless, given that you are physically in the White House, it would seem to me you would want birth and college information released at the earliest opportunity. That’s my opinion.
Here are details about the conference in case you wish to confirm your appearance or the appearance of a representative:
1. Location
We have reserved a room at the Capital Hilton to serve as our headquarters. That will act as our initial point for meeting and information. The Capital Hilton is located a short walk from the White House at 1001 16th Street, NW, just in case we decide to march or demonstrate.
2. Conference agenda
The Conference Agenda and all of the other information concerning the conference is posted on our blog, www.NationalConferenceOnObama.blogspot.com. We are updating as new information becomes available.
3. All are welcome—but please bring evidence, not illusions
Anyone is welcome to register and attend. But if people want to express theories, we are requiring them to bring some rational, tangible evidence to support their claims about you. Why not trump all of this speculation with a bona fide gesture of generosity on your part?
4. Confronting your Doubters
The Easter story tells us that Jesus returned to his followers, but the Apostle Thomas was absent. Thomas demanded “proof” of the Lord’s reappearance. Jesus then reappeared and told Thomas to touch his wounds. If the Lord himself was forced to confront doubts about his authenticity, who can say that doubts about your absent original birth certificate and college records are inappropriate? Aren’t you strong enough in the spirit, yet, to confront your own “Doubting Thomases?” or “Doubting Americans?”
As a lawyer, writer and political reformer I have always had but one polestar: the truth. In a spirit of truth-seeking I extend a warm invitation for you to participate in our conference.
With best wishes,
ANDY MARTIN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
