Hawaii: Pay $100 to See Obama?s Birth Certificate

By Phil

In the midst of the recent dust-up over discovering Mr. Obama’s birth certificate on file with the Hawaiian Department of Health, the AP reports that five State Representatives, led by Rep. Rida Cabanilla, have introduced a bill that would change Hawaiian law to allow the release of birth certificates for $100.

From Ballot-Access.org:

It waives the standard rule for privacy, concerning birth certificates, for individuals of ?civic prominence.? The bill defines these such a person as ?a person who is a candidate for, or elected to, a public office that requires the person to be a United States citizen, either natural born or naturalized, to hold the public office for which they are a candidate or to which they have been elected.?

Link to HB1116.

However, as the AP story indicates, the bill must be put on the calendar in order to move forward.

Yet, what better way to deal with requests than to make the rest of us take the time to fill out the appropriate form and shell out $100 to prove or disprove a person of “civic prominence” is duly qualified.

Why not include an adaptation of this law with other States?
