COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
Plaintiff ANDY MARTIN ("Plaintiff"), pro se, alleges in his Complaint for
Declaratory Judgment against the Defendants as follows:
PARTIES, JURISDICTION AND VENUE
Plaintiff ANDY MARTIN is the author of a book on Senator Barack Obama ("Senator
Obama").
He has also been writing columns and commentary about the senator for over four
(4) years.
Defendants LINDA LINGLE and DR. CHIYOME FUKINO are Governor and Director of
the Department of Health, respectively.
This Complaint for Declaratory Relief and these proceedings are instituted
pursuant to § 632-1, Hawai'i Revised Statutes.
Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to § 603-36, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
1. Plaintiff requested a certified copy of the birth certificate of
Senator Obama from the Department of Health and tendered the requisite fee.
2. Defendants refused to provide a copy of said certificate, invoking the
confidentiality statutes of the State.
3. The issue of the Senator's birth certificate has become a controversial topic
of intense national speculation.
4. As an author who strives for factual accuracy and attempts to conduct
thorough research Plaintiff wants a copy of the Senator's birth certificate
attested to by the State and not a "certificate" which is posted on a web
site and which has been debunked as possibly having been altered.
5. One of the more literate and temperate analyses of the unlawfulness of the
Defendants' refusal to issue certified copies of the birth certificate is
contained in Exhibit 1 attached hereto.
6. To the extent that the Defendants' files contain or retain original
supporting data for the birth certificate, Plaintiff asks that he also be
supplied with that information and/or material as well.
7. It is axiomatic that the birth certificate of a presidential candidate is
a document of crucial public concern and significance.
8. While Hawai'i statutes call for a balancing or weighing test where production
is considered by a court, most respectfully Plaintiff submits that the
balance falls entirely on the side of disclosure where the original birth
certificate of a presidential candidate is concerned.
DECLARATORY RELIEF SOUGHT
9. Based on the relevant statutes and constitutional law, including Article One,
Section 4 ("freedom of the press") and § 92F-15 (e) and § 338-18 (a) (9),
Plaintiff asks that the Court direct and order defendants to turn over forthwith
a copy of Senator Obama's birth certificate and related files and records, and
without any delay.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Andy Martin prays for relief as follows:
A. For a declaration by this Court that Plaintiff is an author and writer and is
a person to whom the birth certificate of Senator Obama can and should properly
be delivered forthwith;
B. For such other relief as this Court deems just and equitable.
Dated: Honolulu, Hawai'i, ______________________
Respectfully submitted,

FULL DISCLOSURE: I recently decided to oppose Barack Obama's election and became
Executive Director of The Stop Obama Coalition, http://StopObamaCoalition.com.
By default, I became the national leader of the anti-Obama movement. I am not
acting as either a Democrat or Republican. I have had no contact whatsoever with
the McCain Campaign. I am not a member of any political organization. The views
expressed are entirely independent. I am acting as an American citizen who
sincerely believes Obama is not the man we need in the Oval Office. We are going
to run a very dynamic and aggressive campaign against Obama. I will continue to
write my news and opinion columns for ContrarianCommentary.com. /s/ Andy Martin

URGENT APPEAL: The Committee of One Million to Defeat Barack Obama is raising
money to fight Barack Obama. http://CommitteeofOneMilliontoDefeatBarackObama.com.
Please give generously up to the maximum of $100. Our ability to fight and
defeat Barack Obama is directly dependent on the generosity of every American."
The Committee of One Million to Defeat Barack Obama limits itself to $100
maximum contributions; there are no bundlers, fat cats or illegal contributions.
Obama is opposed to everything America stands for," says Executive Director Andy
Martin. "But while Obama has raised more than a third of a BILLION dollars, his
opponents have raised virtually nothing. We can't just sit back and expect John
McCain to do the job all alone. Americans can either contribute now, or pay
later. If we do not succeed, Obama will."
