Reader Jason wrote to Electoral college requesting Obama's birth certificate records be released. Jason wrote, "I emailed the Electoral College and submitted all the information from the We The People petition and ad- so they can be aware of their duty before electing this man into what will be our utmost undoing."
They answered and punked out.
The Office of the Federal Register at the National Archives and Records Administration administers the Electoral College process, which takes place after the November general election. The Office of the Federal Register does not have the authority to handle issues related to the general election, such as candidate qualifications. People interested in this issue may wish to contact their state election officials or their Congressional Representatives.
Because the process of qualifying for the election and having a candidate's name put on the ballot varies from state to state, you should contact your state's top election officer for more information. In most states, the Secretary of State is the official responsible for oversight of state elections, including the presidential election. Visit the National Secretaries of State web site to locate contact information and web addresses for the Secretary of State from each state and the District of Columbia.
Under federal law an objection to a state's electoral votes may be made to the President of the Senate during Congress's counting of electoral votes in January. The objection must be made in writing and signed by at least one Senator and one member of the House of Representatives. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives debate the objection separately. Debate is limited to two hours. After the debate, both the Senate and the House of Representatives rejoin and both must agree to reject the votes.

The President of the Senate is Robert Byrd - good luck with that!
UPDATE: Slim guy advises: The people to contact are your party representatives at the state level. The leadership of your state Senate and House of your party and the Office of the Governor and Sec of State and possibly the AG. Methods of appointment of electors vary from state to state and also just how much control the government has over them once they are appointed. A little homework needed on your part to determine the best course of action in your case.
UPDATE: My bad... The current President pro tempore of the Senate is Robert Byrd --
According to wikipedia, Roark is right - the U.S. Constitution states the Vice President of the United States serves as President of the Senate, and is the highest-ranking official of the Senate even though he only votes in the case of a tie. CHENEY! How very Rovian .... talk about going out with a bang :)
Justice Scalia has maintained there is no individual right to vote for Pres in the Const.
I am concerned too about this guy (Obama) and his possible lack of qualifications. I just dont see anyone with enough backbone or political means to do anything about it. EVEN if we had a Republican Congress, I would be concerned
You have nailed it. Nothing more to see her, move along.
Except for the fact that i believe God stills loves us and his hand can change the course of events and root out evil.
God Bless America, we need to say it everyday.
thanks LucyT.

Hopefully, the documents were not submitted to Justice “Suoter” rather than Justice Souter.
OK. Now we know that Congress does not get involved until it received the certified votes from each state. This being the case I don’t understand what votes in “...the counting of such votes,...” are if not the certified votes then what votes are they? Does the quote refer to two certifications?
The VP does not become President if the President elect does not qualify but, rather, becomes Acting President “...until a president shall have qualified;....”
Scalia is correct about that and it is what I have been trying to get across.
I think I said earlier that States could chose electors by lottery or even appoint the highest bidders.
While few of us put any enormity beyond the Democrats this issue could be more than even they could swallow.
Eldridge Cleaver was disqualified from even appearing on the ballot because of age. He wasn’t yet 35.
***Looks like precedence was set. Polarik, you should get this tidbit to Berg.
In 1876 they did get two sets of votes from 4 states. You would think the certified votes would be the ones counted.
The commission did go with the Republican votes.

That was part of the disgraceful deal to allow the Democrats to stop the integration of the freed slaves into mainstream America.
