Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Where Is the Birth Certificate?

SHEILA JACKSON LEE:  …missing birth certificates, as my mother who held onto her voting card. That she legitimately got, to the end of her life. But could not vote today, because try as we may, for Ida Leeda Jackson, to find her birth certificate. We went halfway around the world and still were not able to secure a certified copy of her birth certificate. I knew she was born because she lived.
