WASHINGTON - Lamar Outdoor, one of the largest providers of billboard space in America, has become the second major company to reject an advertising campaign raising questions about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for office.

Just two days after joining CBS, the No. 1 outdoor advertising company, in prohibiting its salesmen nationwide from accepting leases of billboards for a campaign that asks the simple question, "Where's the birth certificate?", Lamar Outdoor has already begun losing business.

Florida real estate company owner Fabian Calvo has told WND that he's cancelling his contracts for two major billboards owned by Lamar that he had been using to advertising his apartments.

Calvo, who also is a talk radio host in the Tampa Bay area, said, "I am cancelling my billboards with Lamar. We have other ways to advertise."

His real estate company owns 500 apartments in central Florida and other areas, and the billboards had promoted the locations to passers-by.

"People need to wake up and see what is happening in their country," he said.

The Lamar decision was delivered to WND by spokesman Hal Kirshaw, who said, "We think it's a settled matter. We think it's misleading to indicate there's any question about the president's birth certificate. We looked at it and we made the call."

Kirshaw said he read "independent media reports" and unnamed "newspaper articles" to make his decision.

Are you motivated yet to join the billboard campaign and clear up the air of mystery surrounding Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to serve?

The newest billboard up in the campaign is located near the Santa Ana Freeway in Los Angeles:

The billboard campaign is the brainchild of Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, who believes it is essential to force Obama to produce hard evidence that he is, indeed, a "natural born citizen" as the Constitution requires. He has called upon Americans to donate money to the campaign, which has, thus far, raised about $75,000 for the cause.

"WND's reporters have investigated this issue more extensively than the rest of the media combined - sending senior staff writer Jerome Corsi to Hawaii and Kenya in search of evidence," said Farah. "We have commissioned private investigators in Honolulu. There is simply no persuasive evidence to affirm Obama's claim to a Hawaiian birth. There is no hospital on the island that will confirm the first black president of the United States was born there. It's all conjecture. And no controlling legal authority in this country has ever asked Obama to provide the proof."

Kirshaw did say Lamar would re-evaluate the issue if it could be persuaded the issue is legitimate.

"I want Americans to understand that this billboard campaign will be successful with or without CBS and Lamar," said Farah. "There are still millions of billboards available through other companies eager to take this business. The only barrier to success is money. And I am as determined as ever to keep purchasing billboard space as our budget allows."

"I wish such a campaign were not absolutely necessary," said Farah. "I wish there were checks and balances in our political and electoral systems to ensure that constitutional eligibility of presidential candidates was established before politicians could assume the highest office in the land. I wish my colleagues in the news media believed the Constitution really means what it says and pressed this issue as hard as we have pressed it at WND. I wish radio talk-show hosts were bold enough to ask this question. But wishing is not enough. It's time to raise the visibility of this issue vital to the rule of law in America. I ask everyone to pitch in and help WND make a simple yet profound statement: The Constitution still matters."
