At this point, McCain should ask, on national tv, Obama to show his real birth certificate. Even if Sean Hannity asked, many would realize that Obama is hiding something!

My e-mail is at the bottom. Here's the secretary of state's response in Cal. Apparently, Howard dean is responsible to ensure that obama is quailfied. What a wonderful world!

Thank you for contacting the Secretary of State with your question about the Secretary of State’s responsibility regarding the authenticity of a presidential candidate’s birth certificate.

The qualifications to be a presidential candidate include the following

A. A natural-born citizen of the United States,

B. At least 35 years of age, and

C. A resident of the United States at least 14 years.

While the Secretary of State certifies candidates for the ballot, each political party is legally responsible for choosing the candidate they wish to place on the ballot. You may view the Presidential Candidate Qualification Procedures for the February 5th 2008 presidential primary election on our website at http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_runningforoffice_08.htm.

Thank you for contacting the Secretary of State. We hope this information is helpful to you. If you have questions about this or another matter related to the Secretary of State’s office, please contact our Legislative and Constituent Affairs at (916) 653-6774.

Sincerely,

Legislative and Constituent Affairs

Secretary of State

Subject: candidate qualifications

Madam Secretary:

It is possible that one of the presidential candidates does not meet the constitutional requirements for office. Senator Obama has refused a court order in Penn. requiring him to produce a birth certificate to establish that he is a natural-born US citizen as required by the US constitution.

We may have someone running for office on Cal ballots, who is not qualified.

Could you please issue a statement on this before the election.

Thank you.

If Obama’s elected, it will probably be revealed after the election. A total Dem government, would just say, “no biggie.” The people voted him in, and we'll keep what the will of the people want.

There are about two dozen state court cases in which judges ruled on whether a particular candidate was a lawful candidate for a particular office. Where the courts found that the candidate (or office holder) was not qualified, the court ordered the candidate off the ballot (or out of office).

These Obama cases are lame cases filed by people who don't know election law. After the election there is still time to determine whether Obama is a legal candidate after Tuesday. Keep in mind that the real election takes place not on Tuesday, but in December when the Electoral College casts the real votes.

I know how to file an election case so it doesn't get thrown out for technical reasons. Keep in mind that every sane judge (that means most of them) would want to make a case like this go away without having to decide it. However, there are ways to push a judge's nose to the grindstone.

The party.

This is why I’m confused about Berg’s case.

Every State ELEC office I looked up and/or into states the candidates are suppose to come to them vetted.

Philip Berg did NOT just go after Obama. His suit had two parts: 1 - Obama, qualifications questions 2 - Separate filing to the DNC for not vetting the candidate.

Berg, as a registered Democrat, has standing to file against the party.

The judge had NO RIGHT to throw out the filings against the DNC. Notice how that 2nd part stays even more out of the news than the Obama part.

It should be...”Why are you fighting tooth & nail to not release your BC?”

Does anyone know who, or what government agency, is responsible for making sure that someone running for president is a U.S. citizen and 35 years of age?

There doesn't seem to be one.

I find it extremely frustrating that it appears as though the answer is, “no one”! How can that be?

If that's all that frustrates you about our government then you're doing better than me.

Unbelievable! McCain has to bump it up a notch and go after the Marxist. It's obvious that the courts are not worried if Obama is a naturalized citizen.

Did you read the ‘judge’s’ opinion. Howard Dean could have written it. Pathetic.

At this point, it looks as if the MSM is the only entity that can smoke out a BC.

And good luck with that one.

Doe ANYONE know who IS responsible? Are we to take the word of the parties themselves????

Well, we know it's not the FEC.

The judge in this case says it's not Washington state. I find it very hard to believe that this would be the outcome in every state. I still think state election authorities could have the right to demand documentation--at least in some states.

Diane Feinstein's subcommittee has responsibility here, but I doubt they screen candidates in advance. She can hold hearings over alleged violations, but she sure as hell isn't going to do it before the election--if ever given that it's her party.

This whole thing is simply unbelievable. It looks like Odinga could claim to be a US citizen and get his name on the ballot.

As of today Joe the Plumber has more guts than McCain to take action like this. Joe got snaked by the govt computers looking at his whole life in Smallville.

So I have this fantasy of Joe whipping out his birth certificate and challenging zerobama to do the same.

At least it would wake up a couple of million more people to the fact that there’s a potential problem here, and a massive coverup right under everyone’s noses..

Apparently there is nothing to stop an unqualified candidate from Running or even being elected. The Constitution says an unqualified candidate “shall be eligible to the office of President,....”

Since technically he does not assume that office till sworn in any ineligible candidate can be stopped by Congress when the electoral votes are counted. Thus, this will go down to then and the nation will watch as the RATS attempt to overturn the Constitution.

Patriots are about to be given the greatest challenge since Dec. 7, 1941 and must understand the nation is filled with traitors knowing and unknowing. It should slso be clearly understood that the Point of that Treason is the media. Until it is destroyed our nation will be in grave danger.

I guess someone in the House of Representatives could request the info since they may have to decide the issue in the case of an electoral tie.

Yes, I can file such a lawsuit. I've filed more than three dozen of them, and won at every level including the US Supreme Court. But there is no such thing as a class action on behalf of We the People. That would be tossed out before the ink on my signature had dried.

A start on understanding this kind of litigation can be found in the American Bar Association Journal for August, 1977, beginning on page 1108. The article is entitled "The Bloodless Revolution of 1976" and includes my first win in the Supreme Court.

This can be done. But it MUST be done with every T crossed and every I dotted. So far, no one has come close to doing that.
