There is an election in 81 days. I think the filing deadlines are all passed, but donate money. Donate time. Block walk for Republican candidate. Volunteer for the sign committee, or get out the vote committee, or ballot security committee, and if there isn't one, organize it your self, and get volunteers to help you.

Those are reasonable ideas but is doesn't address my question in post #31 what would that freeper do to prove BO/BS is ineligible. My thought is to constantly increase the pressure by using all methods concurrently. Eventually they will crack.

No, they won't. Do what Pilsner said.

The Constitution vests Congress with sole authority to count the votes of electors, and decide who was elected President, and the sole authority to remove elected Federal Officers from office. So only Congress can remove BO from office.

Even if Birthers could ever prove their case, they would have to make it in Congress. Which is one of the bushel basket full of reasons that Birther lawsuits always lose. You have file in the Court that has the authority to grant the relief you want. And that Court is the United States Senate. And even to get there, you have to have a majority of the House of Representative vote an impeachment. So the best thing a Birther can do is try to elect Republicans to Congress.

If, after the election, Birthers really want a day in Court, they should form a political party, and get on the ballot for President in 2012. Not everywhere, but in at least three states. Study up on state election law, and balance ease of access to the ballot, versus the rules governing ballot access lawsuits.

Then, the Birther candidate can sue BO, to keep him off the ballot, based on the theory he was born in Kenya, in Canada, in orbit around Rigel 7, or whatever theory is fashionable in Birther circles at the time. Don't get me wrong, I think they will lose on the merits. But they will have a chance to litigate on the merits, as Candidate A v. Candidate B, and not get poured out on procedural grounds as Disgruntled Conspiracy Theorist v. POTUS.
