Hawaii Lawmakers propose $100 fee for Obama birth records

[RamboLiberal]

Hawaii's government would charge $100 for a copy of President Barack Obama's birth records under a bill introduced in the state Legislature by five Democrats.

The bill would change a privacy law barring the release of birth records unless the person requesting them has a tangible interest.

The measure hasn't been scheduled for a public hearing, and it can't move forward unless that happens

But the idea behind it is to end skepticism over Obama's birthplace while raising a little money for a government with a projected budget deficit exceeding $800 million over the next two years.

"If it passes, it will calm the birthers down," said the bill's primary sponsor, Rep. Rida Cabanilla. "All these people are still doubting it because they don't want the birth certificate from Obama. They want it from our state office."

1. Make it $10,000

- payable to the person you get the certificate of, and they get notified that YOU got it and when.

That way maybe they will believe it ... no what am I saying, they will still say it a forgery.

2. Does Pres. Obama have no say in this?

3. $100.00 for the birth record but how many millions for resulting privacy lawsuit?

What a ridiculous plan.

5. At least they can make some money off the idiots.

I imagine they get a lot of requests and that takes up time and resources.

6. They should raise the price to $5,000.

If the birther idiots insist, they at least must be made to pay.

7. Hawaii: the first state to figure out a way to tax insanity. nt
