Freeper help: The Certificate
self | 7/29/09 | LS

Posted on 07/29/2009 8:58:42 AM PDT by LS

Freepers: in preparing for radio shows and appearances, I need some information. Yes, it's here (someplace) on FR, usually buried in a myriad of links. So I'm asking your help to get some concise and clear answers on some "birther" issues:

1) Is there a difference between a "Certificate of Live Birth" and a "Birth Certificate?" If so, what are the specific differences, and can a non-U.S. citizen obtain either or both?

2) Was, or was not, Pakistan on the State Department's "banned travel" list when Obama went there. This has been asserted and denied. Can anyone provide a list of such states from "da gubment" on the date in question?

3) In the noise and confusion, I have heard that a) the Hawaiian records were destroyed in 2001 or 2002; that b) the birth certificate exists; or c) a copy of the birth certificate exists. Which is it?

4) Is such personal information on a public figure subject to FOIA? (I know, it would take years, even if it was, but just asking).

5) What officials have claimed to have actually seen this, and would they know what to look for (if they inspected it at all?)

Her time line is hard to construct because there are so many lies in that family. THEY (OR DADDY) LIED ON THE MARRIAGE APPLICATION so clearly they (OR DADDY) had no problem breaking the law.

There is a REASON for her to go. She needed a legal marriage and she would have to go to Kenya to get it.

The other reason is that she didn’t want her child born in the US - because she was a radical.

I don’t really believe that was the reason- if she went.

Obama was a lawyer. He isn’t anymore. He was a constitutional lawyer. He is held to a higher standard.

He knew or should have known that he could not be a legal UK citizen unless

His mother went to kenya and got married
OR
he was born in kenya.

He claimed he was a UK citzen. So maybe he really was born in Kenya.

I heard Michale Medved say on his radio show that Stanley Ann missed the citizenship rule by a couple of months. If she was born on November 29, 1942, by how many months did she fail to make the five year rule? It is obvious that Medved does not want to do the math.

Please just post the documentation that confirms his father was definitely married already in Kenya. Please do NOT tell me to read Obama’s book.

Thank you.

Does any such evidence exist?

As far as I know, no.

There are those who say that she entered the University of Washington in September of 1961. I don't even know if there is proof of that, or anybody who saw her and the baby there. (Obama was born in August 1961.) Since she had graduated from HS in Mercer Island, WA a couple of years prior, surely there were some old friends around who may have seen her. Mercer Island is only a hop, skip, and a jump from UW campus. I had a baby born in June of that year, and I know that I wasn't ready to re-enter college so early after his birth. There are people on these threads that say that she wasn't sighted back in Hawaii until nearly a year after his birth. THe neighbors of the address cited in the newspaper announcement say that she never lived there with her baby and Barack Obama Sr. The address listed in the newspaper (Kapiolani Hwy) is in an expensive neighborhood, not the sort of place a young student-wife-mother could have afforded.

There are many, many unanswered questions and discrepancies.

I admit to some confusion about the legal marriage issue. If it's relevant whether or not 0bama was born out of wedlock, I haven't seen it discussed in detail anywhere.

Hawaiian FOIA equivalent is the Information Practices Act (UIPA), Chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

http://www.state.hi.us/oip/uipa.html#92F2

Here's the purpose of that law:

[§92F-2] Purposes; rules of construction.

In a democracy, the people are vested with the ultimate decision-making power. Government agencies exist to aid the people in the formation and conduct of public policy. Opening up the government processes to public scrutiny and participation is the only viable and reasonable method of protecting the public's interest. Therefore the legislature declares that it is the policy of this State that the formation and conduct of public policy—the discussions, deliberations, decisions, and action of government agencies—shall be conducted as openly as possible.

The policy of conducting government business as openly as possible must be tempered by a recognition of the right of the people to privacy, as embodied in section 6 and section 7 of Article I of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.

This chapter shall be applied and construed to promote its underlying purposes and policies, which are to:

(1) Promote the public interest in disclosure;

(2) Provide for accurate, relevant, timely, and complete government records;

(3) Enhance governmental accountability through a general policy of access to government records;

(4) Make government accountable to individuals in the collection, use, and dissemination of information relating to them; and

(5) Balance the individual privacy interest and the public access interest, allowing access unless it would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

Since Obama has ALREADY released what he claims to be his accurate COLB, what legitimate privacy purpose can be served by Hawaii REFUSING to release the same, but sourced officially, to the public?

I have already given you that information. It is sourced in many places INCLUDING an interview with the FIRST WIFE.

Find me a source that says HE WASN’T married to the woman in Kenya.

You’re very defensive about this and I’ve seen nothing substantiating that Sr was married. You keep telling us that the information is everywhere but you never post any of it.

Just cough up the proof so we can see it. I HAVE seen the divorce papers from Dunham/Obama so there WAS a marriage between them. But I’ve seen nothing on Obama Sr and another woman before obama’s mother.

If you want to substantiate your claim, just post the proof so we can see it.

Also be aware that government does not destroy, lose, or misplace original documents. Even after putting a copy of them on microfilm, original docs are filed in storage by year, month and day with document numbers, and able to be retrieved at any time. This statement that they were destroyed came from someone at CNN who was clearly lying. And why all the lies?

Ask why Obama’s half sister born in Jakarta has a COLB?

Do you have any evidence for this? As far as I know Techdude was the one claiming this, and he was discredited a long time ago. I asked Polarik about this, and here is the exchange:

Me:But I thought Techdude had subsequently been discredited?

Polarik: He was and there is no COLB for Maya that anyone has seen.

I think that one hung around after Techdude was discredited because people didn't recall where it came from.

If you have new information about it, please share.

A COLB is OBTAINED, a birth certificate is ISSUED

BIG DIFFERENCE

Hospital issues a birth certificate for every live child delivered... signed by doctor and witness ... an official document.

Adopted children can obtain a new birth offcial certificate issued by a court, with different data (name, parents, even date of birth) - if the original official document is submitted

COLB is OBTAINED- petitioner (family membwr?) goes to the state office and gives the clerk the data to fill in the blanks. That is why COLB is NOT legal proof of anything

I forgot the to specify the part that’s important.

“If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16. “

Obama’s mother was only 18. Some sources say the that “five of which after 16” is written as 14 in some lawbooks. Either way, at 18 she doesn’t qualify on her own to give Obama citizenship because his father was NOT a citizen. Had she had an American’s baby, it wouldn’t be a problem.

IMO-
Opponents keep showing the COLB as if it were a birth certificate. Don’t get that they are different.
bo’s mom was in Kenya at 8 months pregnant and probably denied flight to US which is why she applied LATER for the COLB.
That with the depo by granny and the fact bo stated different hospitals of his birth, lack of college transcripts, million dollars to block release of documents all add up to serious questions of his place of birth.

You don’t see it discussed here much because it doesn’t fit the agenda.

I keep chipping away it hoping that people will stop misleading on this subject. It gives the opposition the ability to call “birthers” dumbasses with posts to back it up...or worse yet INTENTIONAL DECEPTION.

there is one way to get around this if you can find a law or case law that says Immigration would have considered their marriage legal for the purposes of immigration even though they couldn’t legally get married in Hawaii.

There are some provisions in Immigration law for when a party has been duped. The ones I have seen regard a foreigner being duped by a US citizen who was already married. So far, I have seen no law that would allow for this illegal marriage. Doesn’t mean it isn’t out there. I just haven’t found it.

Instead of continuing to post garbage...posters should be looking to see if there is anything out there that would actually allow Immigration to consider Obama born of a marriage even though the marriage was illegal.

It would be something probably relataed to “void marriage”

Also, I am not sure Ann was duped. It is unclear if she knew he was already married.
