The Hawaii Department of Health has refused to comply with a
subpoena compelling the state to provide access to the original,
filed copy of the President's birth certificate, citing privacy
laws.
In April, President Obama released a copy of what he says is an
original copy of his long form birth certificate. The release
came after the state of Hawaii had been saying for months they
could not release a copy, even to the President.
Former director of Hawaii's health department, Dr. Chiyome
Fukimo, claimed she had actually seen the President's birth
certificate and it was half typed and half hand-written. The
document released by the President was all typed.
Since its release, several document experts have come forward
stating the document was altered and could be a forgery. No
experts have stated publicly that the document has not been
altered in any way.
Fox News posted a story by Jana Winter, who claimed an expert,
Jean-Claude Tremblay, said there was "no doubt" the certificate
was authentic. Tremblay is an Adobe certified expert with years
of experience working with and teaching Adobe illustrator.
However, Tremblay told WorldNetDaily that none of the comments
he made to Fox News would lead to the conclusion the birth
certificate was authentic.
Tremblay said, "Despite my protests, Fox News will not allow me
to correct their story."
Dr. Orly Taitz, who has filed multiple lawsuits regarding the
President's birth certificate, has filed a case in Washington
D.C., seeking Obama's original application for his social
security number.
President Obama has a social security number issued in
Connecticut, despite never living there. Supporters have offered
various explanations for the Connecticut number. In an article
on the website Obamaconspiracy.org which supports the President,
author Dr. Conspiracy said he believed that, "Obama got his SSN
as a child living in Indonesia and the application was just
processed in Connecticut."
Another supporter said Obama was a teenager traveling to the
state on a college prep trip. "I think it's more likely that
Barack Obama may have traveled to the east coast as a teenager,
perhaps in connection with some college prep activity for high
school age students � that simply isn�t mentioned in his
autobiography." The poster went on to say, "It is common for
schools to arrange trips for students to visit east coast
colleges (Harvard, Yale, etc.); and students need to have a
social security number when they register for the SAT. So, it's
possible that it was participation in some sort of college prep
program that lead to the CT tie in of the social security
number."
Colorado private investigator, John Sampson, disputes these
explanations, saying in an affidavit, ""It is my knowledge and
belief that Social Security numbers can only be applied for in
the state in which the applicant habitually resides and has
their official residence."
Taitz filed the case after submitting a Freedom of Information
Act request to the Social Security Administration seeking access
to the President's original birth certificate and other
documents. The reason for the FOIA request was because of the
many questions surrounding Obama's eligibility including his
social security number and whether the birth certificate
released by the White house is authentic. The FOIA was rejected
by the SSA and affirmed by District Chief Judge Royce Lamberth,
who ruled administrative procedures had not yet run their
course. Once that had happened, Lamberth ruled that discovery
could go forward.
Taitz told the Gazette a subpoena was issued to the state's
attorney general and Loretta Fuddy, the current director of the
Hawaii department of health. The document ordered Fuddy to
produce the "original 1961 typewritten birth certificate #10641
for Barack Obama � issued 08.08.1961, signed by Dr. David
Sinclair, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and registrar Lee, stored in
the Health Department of the State of HI from 08081961 until
now."
The state of Hawaii responded, saying they would not release the
information, citing "privacy" concerns. Taitz said the privacy
issues should not apply since she is asking for access to a
document the President has supposedly already released. She has
since filed a motion with the court requesting they compel the
government to supply the information.
Taitz's case is the first one to be granted discovery. Every
other case has been dismissed on procedural grounds without
issuing definitive decisions on Obama's eligibility.
