HONOLULU - It's now law in Hawaii that the government can ignore repetitive requests for President Barack Obama's birth certificate.

Republican Gov. Linda Lingle signed into law Wednesday a bill allowing state government agencies not to respond to follow-up requests for information if they determine that the subsequent request is duplicative or substantially similar to a previous request.

The law is aimed at so-called "birthers," who claim Obama is ineligible to be president. They contend he was born outside the United States...

HAH.

They've even brainwashed Republicans now.

Birth Certificate?

I wondered the same thing.

I'm into genealogy, and shit, depending on the particular state, it's like pulling teeth to get a copy of a birth certificate from a deceased relative. I always have to send a photocopy of my ID, and usually have to state how I am related to that person.

Jeesh!

You obviously know about the privacy laws, but for any DUers who haven't performed genealogical research, the Privacy laws vary from state to state, and it can take quite a while to gain access to a vital record, even the record of a blood relative.

I feel really sorry for the state employees in Hawaii who have had to put up with these creepy cranks who bother them for Obama's birth certificate.

Those 'birthers' are a real piece of work, huh!

:crazy:

....future presidential candidates to hang on to their original birth certificate.

can get all the CERTIFIED COPIES they want, but they can't take possession of the original.

Doesn't the local health department automatically hold all originals? I know I never got a birth certificate when my son was born - we had to go to the health dept to get a copy. Or are we talking about something else here?

The very fact that people are calling our Wall-Street capitulating president a socialist and suggesting that his well-established birth is somehow in question just goes to show you how bat-shit insane this country has become. Of course, these crackpots would go nowhere if it weren't for their Big Media megaphone. We are sooo screwed.

Back in your hole, Orly!

if the law permitted those state employees to respond to those ridiculous requests the way they'd REALLY like to!

Hawaii Law Shuns Obama Birth Document Requests

by The Associated Press


It's now law in Hawaii that the state government can ignore repetitive requests for President Barack Obama's birth certificate.

Republican Gov. Linda Lingle signed into law Wednesday a bill allowing state government agencies not to respond to follow-up requests for information if they determine that the subsequent request is duplicative or substantially similar to a previous request.

The law is aimed at so-called "birthers," who claim Obama is ineligible to be president. They contend the Democratic president was born outside the United States, and therefore doesn't meet a constitutional requirement for being president.

Lingle didn't elaborate on her reasons for signing the bill, but state Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino previously issued statements saying that she's seen vital records that prove Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.

:tinfoilhat:

somehow video to surface showing obama being born in a hawaiian hospital they would think it was doctored. it's fucking ridiculous! how pissed would these idiots get if i refused to accept their birth certificate as proof they were born here and are not really from somewhere else!! they'd be irate.

Obama was born elsewhere, and his parents made sure to put a birth announcement in the newspapers in Hawaii just in case he grew up and became President. :eyes:

I don't see them asking for information on Ann Coulter, who very obviously is from another planet.

If shrinking a conspiracy to a small cadre of secretive insiders doesn't keep the theory alive, expanding the conspiracy always works.

It's the same no matter whether you are talking about President Obama's birth certificate, or elections stolen by "hacked" voting machines. True believers will always believe.

I recently found the birth announcement for my Mom , born in 1918.
We are African American and it was in the local paper circulated for us.

I found it in the new Pro Quest website that can be accessed in some Libraries and can be accessed online for $'s. I love Pro Quest.

It made me cry happy tears.....

"Nannie and Thomas Johnson are rejoicing as they welcome a beautiful daughter weighing 8 lbs., born at 4 am on August 9th "

There is no way that his family wanted to fake Obama's Announcement in the local newspaper. Too many people would know the truth and have it corrected at the time.

I'd like to see some of the Birther's Birth Certificates but Mars doesn't supply them. LOL

They have heard the word on foxnews and it is cemented in their brains. Weak minds are easy to fill with garbage.

By adding the state government of Hawaii to the list of conspirators.

Although I have heard birthers argue that Hawaii isn't a state.

to someone born in Connecticut ... there's private investigators and everything!

:tinfoilhat:

...allowing state government agencies not to respond to follow-up requests for information if they determine that the subsequent request is duplicative or substantially similar to a previous request.

That sounds pretty reasonable all by itself.

I'd hate to think that if someone somewhere requested something from a government that my request could be ignored.

Hopefully, this is just focused on asinine birther requests.
