Help us out: Can you ID woman at Castle town hall?
The News Journal • July 24, 2009
We’re trying to identify the woman who questioned Rep. Mike Castle about Obama’s citizenship at a recent town hall meeting in Georgetown.
If you know her and how we can reach her, please email Metro Editor Phil Freedman at pfreedman@delawareonline.com.
The woman, wearing a red shirt, was captured on video at the June 30 town hall meeting on health care reform. Toting an American flag and her own U.S. birth certificate, she asked Castle why people are ignoring the president’s birth certificate. She said Obama is a citizen of Kenya, not the U.S.
The crowd applauded and cheered as she yelled, “I don’t want this flag to change! I want my country back!”
Castle, attempting to correct her, said, “If you’re referring to the president there, he is a citizen of the United States.”
The crowd then heckled him as he reiterated that Obama is indeed a U.S. citizen.
Allegations that Obama is not a U.S. citizen have been refuted by state officials in Hawaii, who say they’ve checked health department records and verified that Obama was born there on Aug. 4, 1961.
Drudge Report linked to the YouTube video on Monday with this headline: “VIDEO: Congressman’s town hall erupts over Obama birth certificate ... ”
As of this afternoon, the video had been viewed more than 430,000 times.
The June 30 forum was one of three Castle held in Delaware, bringing together panelists that included medical experts, patient advocates and local officials to discuss health care reform with constituents.
