“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.”
These are the words of the head of the Hawaii Dept of Vital Statistics in 2008.
Every citizen of the United States, every voter in a presidential election, has a “tangible interest in the vital record.” Obama did not run to be governor of Hawaii, nor to hold any other office within that state. He ran for an office that has to do with every citizen of every state.
For the state of Hawaii to withhold that particular document from the secretaries of the several states and/or the election officials who determine who may or may not be placed on ballots is wrong as it could result in subversion of the federal Constitution. This should be ruled on by the United States Supreme Court, since this is an interstate question, not merely a Hawaii state question.
But 52% of cool aid Soetoro drinkers will say NO!!!

Letter Re Obama Eligibility to Texas Secretary of State
The fact that the Hawaii Revised Statutes permit anyone with a "direct and tangible interest" in the birth certificate ought to mean that anyone can obtain Mr. Obama's birth certificate since we all have a direct and tangible interest in it.
Open Letter to Mr. George Soros and Open Society Institute Re Obama Birth Certificate
Mr. George Soros
Open Society Institute

New York, NY 10019, U.S.A.
Dear Mr. Soros:
You have made a point of claiming that you believe in an “open society” and you have assertively backed Barack Obama’s candidacy. At present, the State of Hawaii has violated the requirements of its Open Records Law and § 338-18 of its statute concerning birth records by refusing to provide Barack Obama’s birth certificate to every American. Yet, every American has a direct and tangible interest in seeing this information first hand. I have written to Mr. Obama and asked that he open this information to society and he has not responded. Instead, Obama supporters have offered a fraudulent birth certificate via a Web site. I am curious as to how Mr. Obama’s willingness to engage in manipulative secrecy jibes with your belief in an open society. Do you continue to support Mr. Obama’s candidacy despite his indifference to an open society?
Some have argued that Mr. Obama’s birth certificate is not problematic and that he is merely manipulating public opinion, intending to reveal favorable information at an opportune time. If so, is this sort of political manipulation the foundation of your interpretation of what the term “open society” ought to mean?
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert
