"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” --Martin Luther King Jr. For all of us who understand that every person has a right to know his true biological heritage, and that of course includes free and unfettered access to his original birth certificate, and to every person who fights to keep families together whenever possible instead of unnecessarily tearing them apart, I want to say this: We can't give up because WE ARE RIGHT AND WE KNOW IT!
