I just came across this and I am posting it because it has come up at various here on FR and the other “certificate” sites. This is about the question regarding registering for Selective Service. I guess we can now put that question to rest.

“It is a rumor that the Obama campaign has chosen to ignore despite numerous requests, and it is a rumor that even Snopes couldnt seem to confirm or deny definitively.
After contacting the Selective Service System for an answer several times since late June, Pajamas Media obtained official confirmation from the Selective Service System via email that Barack Obama did indeed register for the Selective Service as required by law, and is eligible to run for the presidency.
Mr. Owens,
Barack Hussein Obama registered at a post office in Hawaii. The effective registration date was September 4, 1980.
His registration number is 61-1125539-1.

Great, thanks.
Now I can get some sleep tonight
since that issue has been put to rest.
:-)
Since we can’t plug 61-1125539-1 into this search engine:

How do we know it is legit?
Thank you for posting this- it’s been one of the questions I couldn’t find an answer to..
Wasn’t Obama at Occidental College during September 4, 1980? Why wouldn’t he register for SSS in Los Angeles?
Interesting.
I can’t seem to find a Daniel Amon with the SSS.gov. I see him quoted as a spokesperson often in KOS type forums and articles.
BUT, I was able to find a Daniel Amon, a Project Manager with Art-Z Graphics. Art-Z Graphics also does contract work for the SSS.gov.
See for example:
