BOSTON—House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. issued the following statement today in response to the release of President Obama’s birth certificate:
I am pleased that the President has chosen to release a copy of his Certificate of Live Birth. My hope with the release of this document is that the long-standing debate will now come to a close. I am glad that we are able to now put this distraction behind us, and move on to pertinent issues that face the citizens of the United States of America.
