'Birthers' to march on Washington, D.C.; Hawaii may ignore repeated birth certificate requests By Michael Sheridan DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Wednesday, April 28th 2010, 1:51 PM nydailynews.com As the nation's island state aims to escape the repeated requests for President Obama's birth certificate, the fringe "birther" movement sets its sights on D.C. Hawaii has passed a bill that would allow it to ignore further "duplicative requests" by individuals and groups for Obama's birth certificate, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday. The Pacific state has been inundated with the requests for nearly two years by those who believe Obama was not born in this country and is not eligible to be President. According to AP, they still get between 10 and 20 e-mails each week. The bill still needs to be signed by Gov. Linda Lingle. This comes as "birthers" reportedly plan to converge on Washington on May 29 with the Obama Care Eligibility March, claims original birther attorney Phil Berg, who runs the Web site ObamaCrimes.com. However, it is not clear how many people are actually expected to attend. According to the disputed conspiracy theory, Obama was not born in Hawaii (despite a recognized birth certificate stating that he was, as well as government officials in Hawaii, conservative pundit Ann Coulter, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and others). Many argue that he was born in Kenya, although claims to this have long since been debunked. Arizona's House of Representatives recently passed a bill changing its election rules in response to the "birther" claims, requiring potential presidential candidates to produce their birth certificate if they want to get onto the state ballot. Other states have passed similar legislation, but it has never become law. msheridan@nydailynews.com Read more: nydailynews.com
