A letter received from Representative Tammy Baldwin of
Wisconsin regarding Barack Obama’s eligibility issues:
“Thank you for contacting me regarding President-elect Obama’s
citizenship. It is always good to hear from you.
As you know, some have suggested that President-elect Barack Obama
may have been born outside the U.S. and is not a “natural born citizen”
eligible for the presidency. During the presidential campaign,
President-elect Obama voluntarily posted his birth certificate on his
campaign website indicating he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961.
Media accounts report that Hawaiian officials verified health department
records and determined there is no doubt that Mr. Obama was born in
Hawaii.
You may be interested to know that concerns surrounding President-elect
Obama’s citizenship are the subject of at least one legal challenge
before the U.S. Supreme Court. However, on December 8, 2008, the Supreme
Court denied consideration of the claim that Mr. Obama lacks the
citizenship requirement to become president.
Again, thank you for sharing your views. Your opinion matters to me. If
I can be of service to you in any other way, please do not hesitate to
let me know. As a security precaution, all mail sent to Congress is first
irradiated. This process causes significant delays. To ensure the fastest
response, I encourage all constituents who have access to the internet to
contact me through my website at http://tammybaldwin.house.gov.
Sincerely,
Tammy Baldwin
Member of Congress”
Representative Tammy Baldwin stated:
“During the presidential campaign, President-elect Obama voluntarily
posted his birth certificate on his campaign website indicating he was
born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961.”
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
A COLB was posted on Obama’s site. It is believed to be fake.
Obama has never presented his birth certificate for scrutiny.
Obama has presented no legal proof that he was born in Hawaii. In fact,
Obama has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and employed many
attorneys to avoid proving his eligibility.
Ms. Baldwin then stated:
“Media accounts report that Hawaiian officials verified health department
records and determined there is no doubt that Mr. Obama was born in
Hawaii.”
Hawaii Health Dept. Officials made no such statement. See below.
Ms. Baldwin then stated:
“However, on December 8, 2008, the Supreme Court denied consideration
of the claim that Mr. Obama lacks the citizenship requirement to become
president.”
Representative Baldwin, this is an important matter. Are you paying
attention?
Representative Tammy Baldwin, where are you getting your information?
Do you care about this country?
What Hawaii Health Official really said
Latest information on court cases
From the Alan Keyes lawsuit
“A press release was issued on October 31, 2008, by the Hawaii Department
of Health by its Director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Dr. Fukino said that she
had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of
Health has Senator Obama’s original birth certificate on record in
accordance with state policies and procedures.” That statement failed to
resolve any of the questions being raised by litigation and press accounts.
Being “on record” could mean either that its contents are in the computer
database of the department or there is an actual “vault” original.”
“Further, the report does not say whether the birth certificate in the
“record” is a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth resulting from hospital documentation,
including a signature of an attending physician, is different from a
Certificate of Hawaiian Birth. For births prior to 1972, a Certificate of
Hawaiian Birth was the result of the uncorroborated testimony of one witness
and was not generated by a hospital. Such a Certificate could be obtained up
to one year from the date of the child’s birth. For that reason, its value
as prima facie evidence is limited and could be overcome if any of the
allegations of substantial evidence of birth outside Hawaii can be obtained.
The vault (long Version) birth certificate, per Hawaiian Statute 883.176
allows the birth in another State or another country to be registered in
Hawaii. Box 7C of the vault Certificate of Live Birth contains a question,
whether the birth was in Hawaii or another State or Country. Therefore,
the only way to verify the exact location of birth is to review a certified
copy or the original vault Certificate of Live Birth and compare the name of
the hospital and the name and the signature of the doctor against the
birthing records on file at the hospital noted on the Certificate of the
Live Birth.”
