Will The Donald seek more from Romney?
Mitt Romney has released a copy of his "Certificate of Live Birth" issued by Michigan. I'm sure The Donald (Trump, that is) will insist that Mitt produce a copy of the long-form of his birth certificate, if only to prove that he wasn't born in Mexico like his father, George Romney.

No smoke and mirrors around Joel Tyner
For over a decade, I was an independent voter. Over the last several years I watched in dismay as our economy slid into deep recession and everyone's standard of living declined.
I was flabbergasted at laws being passed that are against the average American's interest. The candidates being presented to us on Election Day are all obligated to whomever can pay the most.
It is disheartening to feel that my vote, our votes, didn't count. I began to realize that I needed input on who was put forward as a candidate.
So I changed my "independent" voter status. At the time, I never expected it to amount to much.
Then I met Joel Tyner. He's running in the Democratic primary to be congressman for the 19th Congressional District. For the first time in my life, I'm motivated to become involved! Unlike his competitors, Joel tells you definitively how he stands on the issues. No smoke and mirrors, no prevaricating, no eluding. You can go to his website, joelforcongress.org, and see what his platform is and what he stands for. He's been advocating against fracking for years … not just now when he's running for Congress. Unlike all his competitors, he's not in New York City collecting big campaign contributions from lawyers and investment bankers. He's here in the district marching, rallying and talking with people. What you see is what you get. And he's proven. He's been a legislator in Dutchess County for five terms. His record matches his platform. Unlike his competitors, he walks the walk and his record proves it.
He has the solutions to make our votes count again, to rebuild our economy, to revitalize our area and protect our environment. Join me in supporting Joel Tyner for Congress! And feel like your efforts mean something again.
