IN THE
SUPREME COURT OF HAWAI'I
SUPREME COURT DOCKET NUMBER: 29414
ANDY MARTIN,
Petitioner,
HON. LINDA LINGLE, in her
official capacity as Governor;
DR. CHIYOME FUKINO, in her
official capacity as Director
of the Department of Health,
HON. BERT AYABE, in his official
capacity as Circuit Judge,
Respondents.

EMERGENCY PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The question of the authenticity and public availability of the birth certificate of Senator Barack Obama (hereinafter "Obama") has become a source of increasing embarrassment for Hawai'i Government.
Although Obama has purportedly posted a copy of his birth certificate on his own web site, and others claim to have posted other versions, Obama refuses to allow public access to the official records of the State of Hawaii.
Petitioner is an author and columnist who came to Hawai'i to do research on Obama's years in Hawai'i. After arriving in Honolulu, Petitioner decided he needed a copy of the original birth certificate, as well as any official files relating to the issuance of said certificate.
The Executive Branch Department of Health has repeatedly and egregiously mischaracterized the Hawai'i statute governing access to birth certificates, and did so again on October 17th in a statement to the Honolulu Advertiser.
Petitioner applies to this Court for an appropriate writ, and offers two separate avenues of potential relief for the Court to consider.
I.
JURISDICTION
This court has jurisdiction of this Petition pursuant to HRS § 602-5 (a)(3).
II.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
1. The Petitioner
Petitioner Andy Martin has been writing about Obama for over four years. Petitioner is the author of the best selling book "Obama: The Man Behind The Mask."
Petitioner publishes an Internet newspaper, http://ContrarianCommentary.com, as well as related blogs, http://Contrariancommentary.wordpress.com and http://ContrarianCommentary.blogspot.com.
Although Petitioner is not a practicing attorney, he is a respected public interest and consumer rights litigator, see http://www.AndyMartin.com. He holds a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Illinois College of Law.
For example, in 2003 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court granted Petitioner special leave of court to represent a U.S. Marine in a landmark case arising under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940, see http://www.firstrespondersonline.us/director.htm (see attached).
Petitioner is also highly controversial. His corruption-fighting efforts in the Illinois courts and federal courts have provoked intense hostility and counter-reactions from judges who were the targets of his exposures see http://www.AndyMartin.com. These judges have sought to vilify and demonize petitioner, and Obama has sought to use these corrupt techniques to divert attention from Obama's own questionable personal history.
Petitioner is undaunted.
In Hawai'i, petitioner is accompanied by a network television camera crew. Thus the bona fide news value of his current litigation activity is not subject to question.
2. The Respondents
A. Respondent Linda Lingle is named in her official capacity as Governor and Chief Executive of the Executive Branch of Hawai'i government.
B. Respondent Dr. Chiyome Fukino is joined in her official capacity as Director of the Hawai'i Department of Health.
C. The Hon. Bert Ayabe is named in his official capacity as a Circuit Judge of the First Circuit. As will be shown below, Judge Ayabe's joinder in this petition does not necessarily involve any criticism of the judge and reflects the absence of any local rules to govern the judge's authority.
3. The birth certificate (certificate of live birth)
A. For the convenience of this court, Petitioner has submitted a copy of the Circuit Court proceedings as a separate Appendix. Those documents are incorporated by reference in this petition.
B. In summary, Petitioner applied for and was denied a copy of Obama's birth certificate. Petitioner then commenced a proceeding in the First Circuit on October 17, 2008 while still physically present in Honolulu.
C. Petitioner notified Judge Ayabe of Petitioner's limited availability in Hawaii, and requested or suggested an emergency hearing.
D. Judge Ayabe responded promptly through his judicial assistant with a hearing date after the 2008 election on November 7th. Petitioner was also notified that in order to exercise his rights and pursue his petition he would have to return from Chicago to Honolulu, as there was no provision for telephone hearings. (It was not clear whether the judge viewed the absence of telephone rules as a preclusion of telephone hearings, or was imposing his own individual rules of practice).
E. Petitioner was required to file his lawsuit in Hawai'i. No other court system has jurisdiction of local Hawai'i officials. Petitioner should be as welcome in the Hawai'i court system as a Hawai'i citizen would be on the mainland. There are no artificial boundaries or distinctions under the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U. S. Constitution. If Petitioner must be present in Hawai'i in order to vindicate rights and remedies under the Hawai'i Constitution and statutes he will be precluded from doing so.
F. Hawai'i is a sophisticated international business center. It is simply impractical for parties to be physically present in the State as a precondition of access to Hawai'i government or the judicial system.
G. Rule 11 of the Probate Rules provides for "Telephone Conference Call Hearings." On information and belief there is no parallel provision in the Civil Rules.
H. Petitioner remains present in Hawai'i through October 22nd and available for emergency hearings in person.
I. This Court can take its own judicial or official notice that numerous state and federal court systems provide for telephonic participation, see e.g. Florida Rules of Judicial Administration 2.530.
III.
RELIEF REQUESTED
This Court can deal with this petition by either one of two separate approaches.
First, the Court could decide that the Executive Branch's misapplication and misinterpretation of the relevant statute (see Exhibit 1 to the Circuit Court Complaint) raises issues of sufficiently great public and national importance that the Court will entertain the issues presented as a matter of the exercise of this Court's original jurisdiction. In that case the writ of mandamus, if granted, would issue directly to the executive branch and Judge Ayabe's role would become moot and coram non judice.
Second, this Court could decide that the Circuit Court should conduct an expedited hearing, and do so either while Petitioner is still physically present in Hawai'i or while Petitioner is allowed to participate on the telephone, directing that the Circuit Judge either schedule a prompt hearing or ask that the case be reassigned to a judge who can conduct a hearing before the 2008 election. In that case the writ, if granted, would issue to the Circuit Judge.
The approach which this Court prefers to adopt is entirely at the discretion of the tribunal.
IV.
BASIS FOR GRANTING RELIEF
A. The constitutional issue
In Elrod v. Burns, 427 U.S. 347, 373, 96 S. Ct. 2673, (1976) the Supreme Court stated "The loss of First Amendment freedoms, for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury." The authenticity and contents of a presidential candidate's birth certificate is at the apex of First Amendment concerns, Monitor Patriot v. Roy, 401 U.S. 265, 91 S.Ct. 621 (1971)("[I]t can hardly be doubted that the constitutional guarantee has its fullest and most urgent application precisely to the conduct of campaigns for political office.")
To say that a proceeding will not be convened until after the election is to create the very type of unconstitutional delay precluded by Elrod, and creates a justifiable public suspicion of a conspiracy and cover-up by Hawai'i officials.
Elrod does not appear to have been cited by any Hawai'i court but has been cited numerous times by federal judges in Honolulu, see e.g. Rapp v. Disciplinary Board, 916 F. Supp. 1525, 1539 (D. Hawai'i 1996); Walsh v. Honolulu, 423 F.Supp.2d 1094, 1108 (D. Hawai'i 2006); Swanson v. University, 269 F. Supp. 1252, 1260 (D. Hawai'i 2003); Legal Aid v. Legal Services, 961 F. Supp. 1402, 1417 (D. Hawai'i 1997). Although Petitioner filed his Circuit Court lawsuit under the Hawai'i Constitution and not the First Amendment, this Court has previously interpreted those rights to be coextensive.
B. The procedural issue
There is an anomaly under Hawai'i procedure where probate rules provide for telephone hearings but civil rules do not. Perhaps this gap motivated the circuit judge to deny a hearing, or to adhere to such procedures as a general practice.
Certainly in the modern commercial age, with Hawai'i at the crossroads of international business, antiquated notions of physical presence as a precondition for access to Hawai'i government should be reconsidered. The Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.S. Constitution would also appear to lean in favor of allowing out-of-state litigants from the mainland to be heard by telephone.
C. The substantive issue
a. The statute
HRS § 338-18 (b) limits disclosure of records to persons having "a direct and tangible interest in the record." The statute then provides thirteen (13) examples as illustrative, but not exclusive, including number (9): "A person whose right to inspect or obtain a certified copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction."
The Respondents have steadfastly misinterpreted the "direct and tangible interest" standard into one requiring a direct and tangible "relationship" between the party and the record. Thus there is a serious abuse of discretion and statutory misinterpretation by the executive branch. The Respondents have persisted in this misinterpretation despite notice that their interpretation of the statute was a misinterpretation, and will no doubt proffer the same misinterpretation to this Court as their initial response to this petition.
Researchers, scholars, writers and news media—and Petitioner has attributes of all of the foregoing—have a "tangible interest" in many public citizens without any "relationship" to those persons. Petitioner is sensitive to privacy issues and identity theft issues. But no one is likely to try to hold themselves out to be "Barack Obama" using a birth certificate issued by Respondents.
Nevertheless, the very vehemence with which Hawai'i officials have misconstrued a state statue, and the manner in which Obama has attempted to manipulate and control access to his personal records (see infra), raise legitimate suspicions in the mind of the public.
b. The waiver and admission issues
Obama claims that he has posted a conformed copy of his birth certificate on a web site. It is impossible to say whether this assertion is true, because Petitioner has no official copy to compare to the Internet version. Obama has not posted any of the source information or supporting data. If Obama has posted a version of his birth certificate, it would appear he has waived any privacy issues and the statutory restrictions on issuance of a copy to Petitioner no longer apply.
It is indeed a very peculiar state as now exists where Obama claims he has released his birth certificate or at least his latest version of the document, and yet claims that no one should be able to obtain an official copy of the same document from the State of Hawai'i or review the source information for the certificate. Waiver would appear to be applicable and render nugatory any privacy concerns.
Obama has claimed he was born in a Honolulu hospital, but there is no verifiable evidence to sustain that claim. An examination of birth records is thus essential to resolve the lingering doubts.
As judges, certainly the members of this Court are aware that punctilious concern for accuracy would mandate that any counsel preparing a case in which the birth certificate was an issue, must obtain a certified copy and not a copy grabbed off an Internet web site. As an author and columnist, Petitioner adheres to the same high standards of accuracy in the search for original truth.
The fact that Obama has in fact posted his birth certificate on the Internet is a confirmation that he believes that issue is a topic of legitimate public interest.
D. The common law writ of mandamus
Petitioner has reviewed this Court's jurisprudence concerning and construing the common law writ of mandamus. Petitioner submits that the extraordinary facts of this Petition provide a basis for extraordinary and emergency action. As the attached docket sheet from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court attests, Petitioner is experienced in preparing, filing and obtaining relief through extraordinary writs on an emergency basis.
CONCLUSION
Most respectfully, Petitioner asks this Court to take emergency action and to grant one of the alternative forms of relief outlined in this petition.

Martin v. Obama
I just received the following e-mail from Andy Martin:
Barack Obama and Andy Martin confront each other in Honolulu Andy Martin's investigative team provokes a "suspension" of Obama's campaign and a desperate trip to Hawai'i by the presidential candidate. The drama builds to a Hollywood "High Noon" confrontation between good and evil
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Barack Obama and his nemesis, Obama author Andy Martin, face off in Honolulu
Martin's Hawai'i investigation causes Obama to panic and suspend his presidential campaign to head off Andy's stories.
NOTE: Today's scheduled column has been preempted because of the suspension of the Obama campaign. "Obama and Islam, Again" will appear next Monday. (Part Two of the Hawai'i series will appear as scheduled on Tuesday the 21st. Our calendar was thrown off schedule by the birth certificate litigation.)
Chicago crusader Andy Martin is on the verge of taking down the Obama campaign
(HONOLULU, HI)(October 20, 2008) You have to turn to Hollywood and "High Noon" to find more drama than the confrontation building in Hawai'i. The good sheriff stands alone against the Obama Gang. Eliot Ness and the Untouchables? The Long Ranger? Pick your own hero. Martin vs. Obama explodes into a Hollywood classic.
I will do my best to defeat Obama even though I essentially stand alone. I stand tall. All of the protagonists are from Chicago. Despite ridicule and envy from Chicago's corrupt mainstream media, I have spent over forty years successfully fighting crooked politicians like Barack Obama and his Daley Machine cronies.
But take a look at one of the most dramatic time lines in recent political history.
Two weeks ago on October 5th Sean Hannity aired a program that terrified the Obama campaign. You can probably see my role at FoxNews.com or on YouTube. The New York Times itself reported that the morning after Hannity's program, I became the target of a massive liberal assault at the Times. On October 6th I wrote a column predicting that Hannity's show would become the most important political program of 2008. On direct orders from the Emperor Obama, the New York Times then unleashed its smear machine on me.
One week ago, on October 13th, the Times tried to destroy me with a front-page package of lies, distortions and outright fraud. The Times failed. My investigative team arrived in Hawai'i and began to dig, dig, dig.
I also predicted in a column that attacking me was the first big mistake Obama and the Times had committed. You be the judge of whether I am being proven correct.
I am still standing and the Times' credibility is going into the toilet.
Before my team left for Hawai'i I predicted we would bring down Obama. By sheer coincidence, one TV network was interested in my mission and has been tagging along with a camera crew.
Monday (today) we petitioned the Hawai'i Supreme Court to order Obama's secret birth records released.
How did Obama respond? He suddenly discovered that his grandmother, who had supposedly been released from her hospital a week ago, when he showed no interest in her, needed his immediate attention. Cool, calm, collected Obama suddenly suspended his campaign and headed for Hawai'i.
High Noon.
I have been issuing reports from Hawaii and we are on the streets digging for the truth. This weekend we issued our story list for Monday-Wednesday (Monday has been rescheduled—see above).
What has Obama done? Cancelled his campaign and announced he is jumping on a plane to join Andy Martin in Hawai'i. Welcome home, Barry (Obama's grandmother calls him "Barry.")
High Noon in Hawaii.
Barack Obama vs. Andy Martin. The drama builds as we move closer and closer to disclosing the dramatic truth about Barack Obama.
Was I right when I predicted Obama made a classic mistake when he attacked me? Will Jim Rutenberg and all of the other Times slimeballs regret their malicious attacks? You betcha.
Obama did not pay any attention to his grandmother until I showed up in Honolulu. Suddenly she is the center of his attention. She is so central to his campaign that he has suspended it! But when Obama was here last summer he only visited his grandmother for an hour. One hour! Now he suspends his campaign for her?
Could anyone have predicted a more dramatic series of developing events? Hannity puts me on the air as the Chicago expert who confirms the links between Obama and his longstanding anti-American, terror network. Obama's goon squads immediately try to smear me in retaliation. The New York Times creates a front-page story out of 25 and 35 year-old nonsense in a desperate attempt to discredit and derail my upcoming Hawai'i investigation.
And Andy Martin's investigative team lands in Honolulu and goes where no mainstream media have gone before, on the streets of Honolulu to dig out the secret truths about Barack Obama.
Hawai'i Five-O looks tame by comparison.
I am still standing, fighting, and investigating, right here in Obamaland. And Hannity's dramatic show on October 5th will prove to be the turning point in the fight to retake America from the Obamabots and their crooked clandestine campaign cash (Without Andy, Hannity's second show on October 19th was dull by comparison and provoked no response from the Times or Obama).
The day we landed in Honolulu was Obama's D-Day. He can't scare us. He can't stop us. He can't intimidate us and the New York Times can't smear us with lies, half-truths and distortions.
The irony in all of this television drama is that Fox News is not the network following me around Hawaii. I will leave it to the network to disclose which one it is.
Barack Obama is looking increasingly like a desperate, doomed candidate whose Big Lie is about to be exposed.
The New York Times tried to suggest I exaggerate. Do I exaggerate? Apparently Barack Obama doesn't think so. He knows what I know. And soon you will know what Obama and I know.
What Obama fears most is that I search for the truth not because I am associated with McCain (I am not) or because I am a partisan Republican (I am not a right-winger). Rather I search for the truth for the sake of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I took an oath as an 18 year old to defend the Constitution of the United States from its enemies.
Barack Obama is an enemy of the Constitution. He is using tens of millions of dollars in clandestine campaign cash from unknown sources to stage an electoral coup d'etat in our nation. That is why I keep fighting for the truth.
Barack Obama has been lying to the American people. And his Big Lie is about to be exposed.
Now that his secrets are on the verge of being revealed he has panicked and suspended his campaign to visit Hawai'i. Do you believe Obama's explanation for the sudden trip?
Or do you believe me?
Do you believe the smear merchants at the New York Times? Or my truthful words on Sean Hannity's America?
If Barack Obama is defeated, he will have two people to blame: me and Sean Hannity.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Stay tuned for High Noon in Honolulu.
[Note: we will be posting our Hawai'i Supreme Court petition on our blogs later tonight.]

We are in the final stages of preparing a defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, and we expect to file by October 27th. Imagine if you will what the Times put on page one: A "report" in which only people who were willing to smear me were contacted, and no one favorable was allowed to appear, in which my successful litigation history was erased from the public consciousness (see www.AndyMartin.com). Rather than a balanced and factual portrayal of a controversial person—I am indeed and indubitably controversial—there was a one-dimensional smear of the crudest kind. And they wonder why the MSM's are dying.
Luckily, we at ContrarianCommentary.com "own" the Internet." "We take the road less traveled...' And that has all the difference.'" (Robert Frost) Watch for the libel lawsuit.

Barack Obama in Hawaii
Texas Darlin reports that Barack Obama has gone to Hawaii ostensibly to visit his ailing grandmother. Coincidentally, Andy Martin has filed legal papers to force release of Obama's birth documents the very week that Obama has appeared there.
Would Obama Be The First President to Be Removed?
The McCain-Palin ticket has a good chance of winning despite its continuing sag in the polls. But an Obama-Biden win is certainly a possibility. Senator Obama has engaged in considerable deception concerning his upbringing. As well, ACORN, the community activist group with which he has been directly involved, is engaging in criminality and voter fraud on his behalf and has been doing so for months. Senator Obama's close friend, Tony Rezko, has been convicted of criminal fraud. Senator Obama engaged in fraud in connection with a real estate purchase with Mr. Rezko. At the same time, the Obama campaign has engaged in an unprecedented degree of election fraud. The media has been lying on Obama's behalf for months, to the point where it has been willing to sacrifice its own paper-thin credibility in order to further Senator Obama's candidacy. All of this caps off a candidate whose grasp of the issues is as paper thin as the media's reputation, which was exemplified, for example, when Senator Obama became confused over the status of Jerusalem in the Middle Eastern conflict.
I have worked with individuals engaging in fraud before and so have gradually become attuned to sociopathy's practical implications. In teaching, I have integrated some of my experiences into several classes, including conflict and negotiation and organizational behavior. The psychological construct of sociopathy plays an important but not carefully investigated role in business. As well, the annals of history and politics are littered with sociopathic personalities.
Many sociopaths rely on deception. When unethical behavior, be it repeated lying as in the case of Barack Obama, stealing, fraud or more serious crimes, is part of a conscienceless individual's way of behaving, it is imperative to keep such behavior secret and for the sociopath to move on when his behavior is uncovered. In the case of Senator Obama, he will occupy the most visible office in the United States, so moving on will not be an option.
It is true that for the next two years both houses of Congress may remain Democratic and so an impeachment is unlikely. It is also true that the Constitution's restraints on political power have eroded to the point where a sociopath in the presidency would probably be able to abridge or attack rights that are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. The Progressives started the nation along that path a century ago, and now the door is open for a convincing sociopath to become a dictator. Obama may be that dictator. Moreover, the nation is going to be going through several strains, particularly in the all-important economic realm, where we are likely to see brisk inflation and reduced economic performance. This will be exacerbated if the Democrats impose heavy taxation and punish small business through regulation. As well, there may be a terrorist strike or an attack on Israel in response to a president who is soft on terrorism.
Any disruption is likely to give a President Obama a pretext to impose martial law and constraints on speech. Attacks on his opponents would be consistent with the way his campaign has acted toward McCain supporters. The angry comments, the willingness to stifle the speech of any who disagree, the threats, the vulgarity and the violence associated with the Obama campaign expresses an underlying thugishness on the candidate's part.
Should Obama win, as his sociopathy reveals itself through strikes against opponents, incompetence and corruption, there may be many surprised Americans, who have thought that by "change" Obama meant better living standards and better ethics. In turn, corruption associated with his administration would open the door for impeachment as Americans, many of whom will get past the "denial" characteristic of victims of con men, will be filled with anger that they have been duped. The force for impeachment will be greater than it was for Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton or George W. Bush because the distance between how Senator Obama has represented himself and who he really is is far greater than has been the case for any previous President. As well, the criminality, corruption and cynicism that surrounds Senator Obama's presidential campaign exceeds that of President Richard M. Nixon, who resigned. The result will be massive social division within the United States and very likely a turning over of both houses of Congress in two years. The anger may be sufficient for Congress to act constitutionally, despite a President Obama's efforts to suspend the Constitution.
Americans must be vigilant as to any efforts by the mainstream media to encourage further erosion of Constitutional liberties.
