If you were born in the US there should be a record in the place where you were born. Find out where in your state of birth to write for a duplicate of your birth certificate. If you were not born here and are naturalized you might want to contact the INS and explain the situation to them. They would have records and could issue another certificate of naturaliazation to you.

Why would you want to.
There's hoards of people trying to prove they're NOT U.S. citizens.
U.S. citizens don't have Constitutional rights.
Do you really want to be a second-class citizen?
If you do, you're nuts!
There was no such thing as a "US citizen" until after Abraham Lincoln's war of aggression against the southern states. The fourteenth amendment was passed because a bunch of slaves were freed and they didn't want to give them the same rights enjoyed by the Citizens of the State Republics. So the fourteenth amendment provided them with "civil rights" consisting of "privileges and immunities", but no Constitutional rights.
If you were born in one of the several united States, you are a Citizen of that state and don't need, or want, federal citizenship (which is a giant step down).

Are you natural born or naturalized? If natural born, you have a birth certificate or you are out of luck. If naturalized, you have a certificate of naturalization. Either one of these documents is needed to obtain a passport, which is the key proof of US citizenship.

If you were born in the US, you get a copy of your birth certificate from the city, county or state depending where you live. If you were nationalized, you should have been given a certificate at that time. If you have misplaced the certificate, you should be able to get a duplicate by returning to the issuing office.

Birth certificate.
If you were born overseas and your parents are American citizens, both your birth certificate and theirs.
