HONOLULU, Hawaii – Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate
has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits –
WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the
candidate's birth certificate under seal, and instructed the state's
Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to
the original document under any circumstances.
The governor's
office officially declined a request made in writing by WND in Hawaii
to obtain a copy of the hospital-generated original birth certificate
of Barack Obama.
"It does not appear that Dr. Corsi is within any of these categories

he seeks," wrote Roz Makuala, manager of Constituent Services in the
governor's office, in an e-mailed response to a WND request seeking the
information.
Those listed as entitled to obtain a copy of an original birth
certificate include the person born, or "registrant" according to the
legal description from the governor's office, the spouse or parent of
the registrant, a descendant of the registrant, a person having a

registrant, or a person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant. …more
