“I’ve heard lots of terms like “Birther” and “after birther”, is there such a thing as a “partial birther”?
Someone who wonders why he won’t just show his long form birth certificate but at the same time thinks Orly and Chief whatever from API and some of the rest are nutballs?”
He won’t show it because Hawaii no longer releases them as Certified COLB’s. either does Washington and California. They haven’t since 1981. This has been said many, many times.
Funny then that the Hawaiian Lands program's website, just as official as the DoH website, had detailed instructions on how to obtain a certified copy of the long form, until last June. That would be 2009, not 1981. They prefer the long form, *because it has more information*, especially on the parents.
Just because it's been repeated a lot, doesn't make it true. Besides which the DoH says they do maintain the original.
Several years ago I read where many states were going *away* from the short form, because with memory, including disk memory, getting cheap, and compression algorithms getting practical, they could afford to store digital images of the originals, rather than relying on an "abstract" from a database.
