As an Objectivist, and by corollary a Libertarian, politics is a source of constant frustration for me. Republocrats are always in power. But, Uh-Bama is WAY worse that anything I've seen in my lifetime. He must be stopped.
I've created a site with some "bumper stickers" that might appeal to those of you with a sense of absurdism; feel free to download and use any that catch your fancy:
Your question begs many others. It reminds me of the secret questions and answers exchanged during WWII... "who is Babe Ruth?", etc. How can anything I post constitute proof of my origins? With the internet at my fingertips, I can divine a wealth of historical and other facts about El Paso, and offer them as evidence I was born here. Of course, I was not - I was born far, far away.
Why should it matter where I am from? Would my criticisms of Uhbama be rendered any less valid, if I were to be from .... let me pick ... Canada, eh? Or Dell City? Or Orogrande? Or Cornudas? Or Derry Arrey? Perhaps I am writing this from the Owl Bar and Cafe (now that the Cornduas Burger is but a fond memory)
Perhaps you really meant "Prove you are a current resident of El Paso". Again, a difficult task. I might have agents in El Paso, who for example, reported that a small thunderstorm drifted over NE El Paso at around 8:30 on 8.10.2009. I might have other agents who visited http://www.spyber.com/ and used it to grab a typical RoadRunner IP address and related information.

But, I think the real question is this: why so hostile? Instead of the unfriendly "prove you are from El Paso" directive, why not a nice " Howdy, raargh, thanks for the link! Do you live in El Paso? Great weather here! Hope to see you at the 9/12/2009 teaparty!"
