Is this an official statement that the copy posted is accurate ??

Perhaps. Good catch.

Butterdezillion, since you have a line of communication with Fukino and/or her office, I strongly suggest getting her to clarify her statement on this very point. Also, is she referring only to his campaign website (I'm assuming the "Fight the Smears" version) or ALSO the COLB that appeared on FactCheck.org.

I suspect she will shift back to saying she's unwilling to confirm that her office sent all/some/none of the online Obama birth certificates, but the language she uses can be very revealing.

Backing her into a corner can be insightful if she can’t confirm that, as she has now has publicly acknowledged she’s aware of the this “former campaign website” birth certificate. Again, by acknowledging this, I’d ask her if she is positively confirming that it originate from her office.

Asking the question over and over can get people to reveal the truth when their hair is down (early in the work week) or when their blood sugar is low (mid-afternoon, after lunch).

Here are the four versions of the COLB from Polarik's final report:

“Butterdezillion, since you have a line of communication with Fukino and/or her office, I strongly suggest getting her to clarify her statement on this very point.”

I’m sorry to bring this up, but this has actually become the problem. Because only handfuls of us are communicating with them, we are becoming targets. Everyone needs to pitch in on the effort of talking to Hawaii, IMO.

This legislation is a setup, I don’t want to see Butter caught in the trap.

I’m actually probably the lame duck in the group right now. They have 10 business days to respond to anything I send them and can ask for a 10-day extension. They could have me named a “vexatious requestor” before she even has to say “boo” to me. The request would have to come from somebody fresh - preferably on a non-personal e-mail address.

Even at that, what they always come back with is that they are not required to answer questions. The day that will change is when she is subpoenaed. Or when a member of the Hawaii House or Senate asked, maybe. I wonder who was the lone courageous dissenter who voted against the bill... That would be the person to call, asking them to ask Fukino to confirm what she meant by that testimony. Do we have somebody from Hawaii who is open to making this kind of communication?

Hey, while I’ve got you - do you remember off-hand if Polarik said that the gender was altered on the Factcheck COLB?

Senator Slom. The one honest person in the Hawaii Senate. Voted against it in committee and voted against it in the full Senate.

Sorry to bring this up, but I thought it was found that Polarik did not have the credentials or expertise he claimed? Did someone with that expertise check this?
