Pending Litigation: Hawaii Confirms That Obamas Vital Records Have Been Amended.
I will be assisting one of my readers in filing litigation in Hawaii state circuit court pursuant to her ongoing request for public information denied by Hawaii officials. (Readers of my blog will recognize her as MissTickly aka TerriK.)Correspondence sent to TerriK by Hawaii officials indicates that President Obamas vital records have been amended and official records pertaining thereto are maintained by the state of Hawaii.
I will issue a full statement and press release on behalf of TerriK via this blog in the days ahead. This statement will include a complete history of correspondence between TerriK and Hawaii state officials in the Office of Information Practices (OIP) and the Department of Health (DoH).

TerriK has standing to pursue this action under the statute. The UIPA manual states:
Any person may make a request for government records under part II, the Freedom of Information section of the UIPA. Person is defined broadly to include an individual, government agencies, partnerships and any other legal entities.
Under part II, a government agency generally may not limit access to public records based on who the requester is or the proposed use of the record.
“I hope when he gets his response I hope someone will explain the meaning and import in simple laymans language.”
Leo is an attorney. He is an expert at parsing and knowing what is, is.
But I am not an attorney and legalese is a language I cannot grasp...even “where’s the bathroom”... ;-)
Thanks....I wish for great anxiety in Hawaii....
Thanks for the update. It seems clear to me. Leo is asking that the DoH either give him access to the records on which their public statement was based, as the law requires, or confirm to him either that they are determined to violate the law, or that no such records actually exist.
I was thinking about that earlier... if he’ll keep jet-setting all over or if he’ll hole up in the WH & try to lay low in a tantrum.
