This is an ad commericial for a really lame product... a bumper sticker calling out obama on his bith whareabouts. By the way, according to wiki; ""Short forms", known sometimes as computer certifications, are not universally available, but are cheaper than photocopies and much more easily accessible. [Here's the kicker that provies this guy didn't do his homework] Information is taken from the original birth record (the long form) and stored in a database that can be accessed quickly when birth certificates are needed in a short amount of time. Whereas the long form is a copy of the actual birth certificate, a short form is a document that certifies the existence of such certificate, and is given a title such as "Certification of Birth", "Certification of Live Birth", or "Certificate of Birth Registration". The short form typically includes the child's name, date of birth, sex, and place of birth, although some also include the names of the child's parents. When the certification does include the names of the parents, it can be used in lieu of a long form birth certificate in almost all circumstances. Nearly all states in the U.S. issue short forms certifications, on both state and local levels." - don't let this guy mislead you AND take your money at the same time.
