In order to process your application for identification as a native Hawaiian, the Department of Hawaiian Homelands utilizes information that is found only on the Original (Long Form) Vault Birth Certificate
Only after it was determined that the Department of Hawaiian Homeland’s policy against the Hawaiian “Certification of Live Birth” conflicted with another Hawaiian state agency, the Department of Health’s, political endorsement of Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president, was the policy changed and the wording against the credibility of the document scrubbed from its website. This led many to accuse the State of Hawaii government of selling out to protect against exposing the ineligibility of Obama rather than upholding the eligibility of thousands of potential native land owners in Hawaii. Some actually accused Hawaii’s land management of selling out to a liar while native Hawaiians were at risk of being deprived of their right to purchase native lands because non-natives could now use a less credible version of identification when applying for a land purchase.

This is my biggest problem with this entire thing. It so occupies these simple minds that it is going to be their very downfall. I have these conversations with people I know and they go a little something like this.
How do you feel about Obama's economic policies?
He is driving this country so deep into debt and killing it for our children.
So when you talk to people about voting in 2012, what is your argument?
Well first of all, he was born in Kenya and he spent 2 million hiding his birth certificate and he was raised in Indonesia in a Madrassa and....
So about those econimic polices? You will find a better candidate because you are really thinking about that stuff, right?
I don't have to! He is a foreign born, Marxist usurper, wake up man!!!!!
Well good luck with all that. You and the other 23% of the entire country that think that keep preaching to yourselves about that. Let me know how it goes. I thought there were serious problems with what he was doing to this country but I don't have all day to wait for you to get to them to covince me and since it is this hard already, I want to vote for him now just because your only argument against him is a set of old internet lies.edit on 10-4-2011 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)

Wow, you birthers are too easy. Please go back and read your source fully. The short form is invalid to prove a certain level of Hawaiian native lineage going back generations. Amazing.

It is cute how your source edits and editorializes without offering a link to the department of hawaiian homelands but please do go look into it even further so we can all laugh together about this one. K?edit on 10-4-2011 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)
The Hawaiian state health official who personally reviewed Barack Obama's original birth certificate has affirmed again that the document is "real" and denounced "conspiracy theorists" in the so-called "birther" movement for continuing to spread bogus claims about the issue. ...
As the top Hawaiian official in charge of state health records in 2008, when the issue of Obama's birth first arose, Fukino said she thought she had put the matter to rest. Contacted by NBC, Fukino expanded on previous public statements and made two key points when asked about Trump's recent comments.
The first is that the original so-called "long form" birth certificate — described by Hawaiian officials as a "record of live birth" — absolutely exists, located in a bound volume in a file cabinet on the first floor of the state Department of Health. Fukimo said she has personally inspected it — twice. The first time was in late October 2008, during the closing days of the presidential campaign, when the communications director for the state's then Republican governor, Linda Lingle (who appointed Fukino) asked if she could make a public statement in response to claims then circulating on the Internet that Obama was actually born in Kenya.
Before she would do so, Fukino said, she wanted to inspect the files — and did so, taking with her the state official in charge of vital records. She found the original birth record, properly numbered, half typed and half handwritten, and signed by the doctor who delivered Obama, located in the files. She then put out a public statement asserting to the document's validity. She later put out another public statement in July 2009 — after reviewing the original birth record a second time.
Her second point — one she made repeatedly in the interview — is that the shorter, computer generated "certification of live birth" that was obtained by the Obama campaign in 2007 and has since been publicly released is the standard document that anybody requesting their birth certificate from the state of Hawaii would receive from the health department. ...
Hawaiian officials say that the certification is, in fact, only one piece of abundant evidence of Obama's birth in Hawaii. Joshua Wisch, a spokesman for the Hawaii attorney general's office, noted that a public index of vital records, available for inspection in a bound volume at the Health Department's Office of Health Status Monitoring, lists a male child named "Obama II, Barack Hussein" as having been born in the state.
But Wisch, the spokesman for the attorney general's office, said state law does not in fact permit the release of "vital records," including an original "record of live birth" — even to the individual whose birth it records.
"It's a Department of Health record and it can't be released to anybody," he said. Nor do state laws have any provision that authorizes such records to be photocopied, Wisch said. If Obama wanted to personally visit the state health department, he would be permitted to inspect his birth record, Wisch said.
But if he or anybody else wanted a copy of their birth records, they would be told to fill out the appropriate state form and receive back the same computer generated "certification of live birth" form that everybody else gets — which is exactly what Obama did four years ago.

17. Hawaii’s Rogue Document.
The standard, U.S. “Certificate of Live Birth” document template has been slightly revised by various states for the purpose of meeting identification and formatting needs, such as concealing the social security numbers of the parents. However, no state, except one, has ever reduced the overall quantity of information contained about the bearer’s natal identity, such that it is now impossible to determine their natural-born status, and then used that reduction of vital information in an endorsed document form. Only the State of Hawaii has created this form of independently published, digital documentation.
18. Hawaii Violates Federal Guidelines.
In the entire 110 year history of the standard, official, federal, U.S. “Certificate of Live Birth” document’s existence, only the state of Hawaii has gone astray from the standard version to such a degree that it actually conceals one’s full natal identity rather than reveals it. When comparing document forms, the use of the Hawaiian “Certification of Live Birth” is an unauthorized reduction of content otherwise prescribed to confirm the bearer’s natal identity and, essential to verifying one’s eligibility to be a candidate for president, the bearer’s natural born status.
19. Exploitation of Hawaii’s Lost Culture.
Because of its remote, water-locked, geographic characteristics; its tumultuous indigenous history; and a vulnerable culture altered by a transference of sovereignty in the late 1800’s, the Hawaiian islands gained a reputation for maintaining a vague process for documenting immigration, vital events and indigenous population. Historical archives dating between 1890 and 1941 reveal that the Hawaiian Islands served as an unofficial, but widely pursued, sanctuary for thousands of foreign expatriates seeking protection from political persecution in China, Japan, Southeast Asiatic nations, the Middle East and, later, the United States. This multicultural instability resulted in the implementation of less than thorough procedures for recording and differentiating native born, immigrant and indigenous populations. One example of this surrogate nativity was granted to a Mr. Sun Yat Sen, a Chinese expatriate who received an official Certificate of Hawaiian Birth in 1904 stating that his birth had taken place in Hawaii in November, 1870. However, later evidence revealed that Mr. Sun’s birth had actually occurred in China in 1866. Archives reveal that the state of Hawaii has provided similar documentation to thousands of immigrants over the years without ever confirming their age, the birth place or their actual identity.This murky process was further complicated when Hawaii became a state of the U.S. which demanded that it begin implementing the federal documentation standards for U.S. citizens as well, in 1959. Vulnerabilities in Hawaii’s documentation process created passive conditions which allowed unidentified inhabitants to later proclaim any identity, or multiple identities, they desired to serve their individual interests.
20. Hawaii’s Communist Past.
Based on investigations in the 1950’s and 1960’s, a disproportionate concentration of pro-communist activity became a part of Hawaiian culture. This is substantiated by an increase in the population and activity of communist sympathizers identified by the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings conducted after WWII, during the beginning of the cold war between the U.S. and communist Russia. Evidence of pro-communist presence in Hawaii can be found in publications like the Honolulu Record in which one of Obama’s communist mentors, Frank Marshal Davis was a columnist. Obama Sr. would later return to Kenya sometime in the mid 1960’s to promote his communist economic theories and work in government with his friend and leader of Kenya’s communist KANU party, Tom Mboya.
21. Hawaiian Document Proven Deficient.
In August, 2008, a former U.S. Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics Registrar stated that the Hawaiian “Certification of Live Birth” cannot be considered an original birth certificate created at the time of occurrence of the birth because “…it does not contain the signature of the licensed medical professional qualified to determine the characteristics of a live birth in accordance with administrative requirements established by the U.S. Department of Health, National Vital Statistics Division, and it does not contain the name and location of the hospital which issued the original record, which would be a U.S. “Certificate of Live Birth” if the child was born in the United States.” Further investigation of Hawaii’s revised statutes reveal that the Hawaiian Department of Health not only contends with federal law, it also contradicts its own self-declared authority to issue falsified birth nativity under HRS 338-17.
22. Hawaii’s Permission To Violate Federal Law.
Hawaii Revised Statute HRS 338-17.8 states: “Certificates for children born out of State.(a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.(b) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.(c) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]” The law permits anyone born to parents who claimed Hawaii as their residence within one year of their birth, at any time before or after the enactment of the law, regardless of the actual location of the birth, to receive an original birth record which states that the location of birth is Hawaii, and, therefore, occurred in the U.S. Hawaiian lawmakers have confirmed that the law is not constrained to the date of birth. It is applicable to the date of application for the certificate. This means this law would enable Obama, anytime after the age of 21 to apply for and receive a newly created original Hawaiian birth certificate after providing evidence that his mother or father merely resided in Hawaii for one year prior to his birth. He could have applied for this certificate any time since is parents are known to have resided in Hawaii since 1960. He could have been born outside of the U.S., however, the State of Hawaii is obligated by law to grant him an original birth certificate stating that Hawaii is his birth place simply because he was able to show that his parents claimed Hawaii as their residence. Moreover, the evidence provided with Obama’s application may not be reviewed by any third party under this law. Only the Director of the Department of Health is granted with the authority to determine the validity and deadlines required in providing such evidence. In essence, under Administrative Rule 91, the state of Hawaii has empowered a state-level, municipal employee to determine the federal, natural-born status and therefore, the Constitutional eligibility, of any individual, even a sworn enemy of the United States, seeking the most powerful office in the world.
.....................The only consistent thread in this chain of events is this: Obama takes sides in the Islamic world only when the dissidents are hostile to U.S. interests or seeking to overthrow a U.S. ally, not when they support U.S. goals. This Islamist tilt is also seen in many of his appointments, particularly in the State Department and national-security staff.
We do not have to think Obama is a secret Muslim to call him out on his pro-Islamist foreign policy. Plenty of American leftists have been in that camp for decades. In fact, what seems to be happening in U.S. politics is a three-party merger of leftist ideology, one-world multiculturalism and Islamist interests. What is emerging is a strange stew of leftist sympathies for every policy tilt that is anti-capitalist and pro-Third World wealth transfers. Let's call it multicultural socialism until a better name comes along. Read more: Obama's dangerous Islamist tilt www.wnd.com...
Originally posted by aptnessI didn’t lump you with anyone. If I have it was with the birthers, but from what you are arguing, this labeling on my part doesn’t seem inappropriate seeing as you’re arguing for the release or the right to inspect Obama’s vital records.
You, on the other hand, made this political and labeled me an Obama voter and supporter, an “Obama apologist” and ‘lemming,’ apparently, because I have been claiming I remain unpersuaded by the birthers’ claims and lack of credible evidence presented, and that they are not entitled to see Obama’s “long form” birth certificate under any existing law.
But can you think of any other logical reason for him to not release the info, if only to put the issue to rest? What's he afraid of? What's he hiding? Barack Obama is not an ordinary citizen. He's the leader of the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth, and I think a little thing like an original birth certificate isn't very much to ask. I want a little truth from my Commander-in-Chief. I'm THROUGH taking orders from liars.

Ever notice that most of these lawsuits are thrown out BEFORE they are even heard in court, and the reason given is invariably "the Plaintiff does not have 'standing' to file the suit?" What a crock of BS!
EVERY American has a vested interest in the eligibility of Obama as President. I think these judges have been paid off to keep the issue out of court, because if a plaintiff ever does present a discovery motion to the State of Hawaii it's GAME OVER for the Anointed One.

Not according to this immigration law website...
What are the rules for people born between December 23, 1952 and November 13, 1986?
Again, children born abroad to two US citizen parents were US citizens at birth, as long as one of the parents resided in the US at some point before the birth of the child.
When one parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national, the US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child, with five of the years after the age of 14. An exception for people serving in the military was created by considering time spent outside the US on military duty as time spent in the US.
While there were initially rules regarding what the child must do to retain citizenship, amendments since 1952 have eliminated these requirements.
Children born out of wedlock to a US citizen mother were US citizens if the mother was resident in the US for a period of one year prior to the birth of the child. Children born out of wedlock to a US citizen father acquired US citizenship only if legitimated before turning 21.
The ABC’s of Immigration: Citizenship Rules for People Born Outside the United States
So according to that, even if Obama were born in Kenya he would be eligible for President since as far as I've heard his mother never left the US before he was born, she would have fulfilled the 10 year requirement.
So, if this is the case, and even if he were born in Kenya he would be eligible, does it still matter?
And...it also doesn't imply the years have to be consecutive, so in any event I think the birther argument is moot. And a tool to divide the country.
It seems to have worked quite well.

That's my point..
Many here are screaming that it's his right to privacy..
But what's private about any details on his Long Form ?
Everything that could be on it has already been stated by Obama..
There is no issue with privacy unless what he has stated to the public are not the same details listed on his Long Form..

There is no long form bc requirement to show birth or residency.
Our discussion was regarding a lawsuit, one that you claimed was dismissed on lack of standing and I told you it wasn’t. It seems you have now accepted the explanations I’ve given you so you’re back to partisan accusations.

Obama has released his birth certificate. If you don’t accept the one that was released, or the statements of the Department of Health, that’s your prerogative, but don’t expect everyone to be convinced by the hearsay you accepted as proof from WND and chain emails.
I'd like for you to give me one good reason for Obama to not release his birth certificate.
I don’t have to imagine “a logical reason” for McCain to not release his birth certificate, since he — or any other candidate, or even President — wasn’t required to release it, he doesn’t have to. My argument regarding Obama is the same.
But can you think of any other logical reason for him to not release the info, if only to put the issue to rest?
Don’t vote for him. That’s what the electoral process is about. You have doubts, ‘feelings,’ about a candidate, you don’t vote for him.
I'm THROUGH taking orders from liars.
Your premise was flawed to begin with.

You're ignoring the premise of this thread
Obama has released a birth certificate, and the authorities of Hawaii have stated, numerous times, what Obama presented is what everyone who requests a copy of their birth certificate get.
so now you can no longer say that he showed the birth certificate and that people are just ignoring it.
