Project Lightning: Update #1

I've decided to release the basic premise of my idea, Project Lightning:

First, you'll need a small amount of basic background info:
As far as I can tell, at this time no one in US has released certifiable proof of Obama's country of birth to the public. I've seen the digital copy of his Certificate of Birth, and there is a huge difference between that and an actual Birth Certificate (i.e. Certificate of Live Birth).

So, here goes the premise:
I know where to find irrefutable, government-certifiable proof of President-Elect Obama's birthplace. At this time, I have not seen the records, so I do not know what I would find if I could access that proof. I do know that it is located inside the borders of the USA, and is freely available to any US citizen by filling out a simple FOIA form -- here's the kicker: at the correct office. The funny part is, I don't think even the people that work for the agency holding the information have any idea what they're holding.

Project Lightning involves finding that info (whatever it is), getting it certified, and releasing it to the general public via worldwide media. If it proves he was not born on US soil, then I would also provide certified copies of that information to the electoral college.

I have several problems facing me at this point:

1) The records can be easily destroyed. Thus, I am not releasing the location of the records. At this point, three other people know the definite location, but they are respecting my wishes and withholding that information until certified copies can be obtained.

2) While I have been in contact with a number of people within easy driving distance of where the records are held, none are interested in looking for the information unless I pay them. If I was going to pay anyone, it would be a professional researcher, I would expect certified copies of all info FedEx-ed or UPS-ed to me ASAP, and no payment would be released if the info was "leaked" before I received it.

3) At this time, I don't have enough cash in the bank to pay for professional research.

4) Even if I had the cash, I would rather fly to the city the records are in and do the research myself. I'm not paranoid, I just don't trust people I don't know.

So, at this time, Project Lighting is sitting in "dud"-sville. Hopefully, by this time next week there will be more happening.
