HI Bill Would Give Anyone Obama Birth Info for Fee

1
"Anyone would be able to get a copy of President Barack Obama's birth records for a $100 fee under a bill introduced in the state Legislature that backers hope will finally dispel claims he was born elsewhere.
The bill would change a privacy law barring the release of birth records unless the requester is someone with a tangible interest, such as a close family member.

The measure was introduced by five Democrats but has not yet been scheduled for a public hearing, a required step before it can move forward. A decision on considering the bill will be made by the House's Democratic leadership and committee chairmen.
The idea behind the measure 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. "

For most birthers the idea that Obama is not a natural-born US citizen is axiomatic. It does not matter what evidence is presented. They will adjust their reality to be able to interpret the evidence in their favor.

I think the point of the bill is too demonstrate ( again ) how stupid this claim is and to force Republicans to distance themselves from the nutjob part of their base.
I also detect more than a little exasperation on the Dems' part.

Hey lemur, I used your quote over at dailykos.

Quite frankly, I don't think this is going to change most of the birthers' minds. As lemur states:

I want to adjust my reality. Sadly, I base my life on FACTS.
