Help me out here. Can Governor Lingle do something a-la “Executive Order”....with regards to a birth certificate ( or verifying the lack thereof )...?

She does not need to do that to get a "Letter of Verification."

Now if the OHSM won't even do that, then she can play the "Executive Order" card.

I wish I were an agency head.

I cannot fathom why the GOP has not requested it, or any one of the Supervisors of Election around the country.

RE: my comment above.

All of us should try and contact our state's Supervisor of Elections and ask them to request a Letter of Verification for Obama.

I cannot see how Hawaii could say that they do not have a direct and tangible need for it.

Maybe, it's time to play a little hardball with Government officials and the media.

All of this is breaking new ground.
