REQUEST TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE IN CONNECTION WITH
APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
The question of where Barack Obama was born continues to be clouded and occluded. As the accompanying certiorari papers were being prepared, yet another article crossed Petitioner's desk with conflicting documentation (see attached): http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103306.
Whether the article in question is accurate, vel non, is impossible to determine because the article contains conflicting claims emanating from the Obama family itself as well as other reputable sources.
Petitioner has never made any claims about Obama's origins, because he has accepted at face value the claims of Hawai'i officials that there is an actual, original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate. He has merely sought access to an indisputably archival, historical record of the American presidency.
Where conflicts in the public records and conflicting claims exist about the highest elected official in the United States, a court should be particularly wary in covering up the original document that can answer the conflicting claims with reasonable finality.
When a court or a judicial system aids and abets in a cover-up of historical truth, ultimately the court itself will become the victim of its own machinations.
No reasonable person could claim that Hawaii's "secrecy" statutes for birth information were intended to conceal archival, historical material about the American presidency.
This Court should take decisive action before the Court itself becomes a part of a questionable pattern of behavior concerning a document that is obviously relevant to American history.
Petitioner seeks only the facts; he is dedicated solely to the truth. Nothing more. And nothing less.
CONCLUSION
Most respectfully, Petitioner asks that this Court judicially notice the attached article, not for the truth of the contents of the attached report—since the article itself contains conflicting claims—but for the fact that the question of the Hawai'i birth certificate is taking on greater, not diminished, significance for a growing segment of the American people.
Given Hawaii's historical commitment to open records and open history, as exemplified by the Uniform Information Procedures Act and the prior decision of this Court, the time is long past when the historical truth about the birth certificate should be revealed by ordering the release of the archived document.
No one—not a public official, not a judicial officer—should be allowed to play fast and loose with the historical truths of the American people.
