SO WHAT? No one cares and it matters not a whit. All that matters is what is written on whatever, and that is fast being erased by Obama. Too bad you don't spend as much time trying to see that he is sent back to the Chicago streets where he is more suited to be.

Declaration of Independence Paper A number of sites on the Internet claim that the Declaration of Independence was written on paper made from hemp. As far as we know, this is not true. The finished document signed by the delegates to the Continental Congress was engrossed on parchment, which is actually made from animal skin. Thomas Jefferson's original Rough Draft of the Declaration is now in the Jefferson Papers collection at the Library of Congress. According to the Library of Congress, analysis by paper conservators has determined that the paper is mostly likely Dutch in origin. While hemp was commonly used to make paper in Southern Europe during this time, the Dutch were much more likely to use flax or linen rags. monticello.org
