Status of Barack Obama on Florida Ballot ?
Posted by By GeorgeM at 1 December, at 19 : 08 PM Print
To do so before the election — per the e-mail below –” a lawsuit would have to be filed to have the candidate removed from the ballot.
Typically, such legal actions are brought in the circuit court as a declaratory judgment action seeking the court to declare the candidate ineligible to run for the office.”
Since Florida is a KEY state — with many electoral votes and a relatively large population,
perhaps Orly Taitz could get the ball rolling here. I know she is VERY busy, but maybe Florida is more important than New Hampshire, just saying.
Right now, Florida Tea Party groups do not have the financial resources to engage the services of an attorney to file and service a lawsuit. Of course — BECAUSE THIS IS SO IMPORTANT–they may be able to take up a special collection among their membership and persons who are well off financially. And maybe they could locate an attorney to file the suit for Florida.
If Orly cannot assist here, perhaps some other attorneys would step up to the plate.
I’ve taken the initiative and thrown the pebble into the pond. Now I can only hope that the ripples radiate out and attract the attention of other persons who can provide assistance. I’m sending this e-mail to several Patriots via bcc to see what ideas they can offer on how to get a ballot challenge lawsuit started in Florida.
George, does the Obama State Ballot Challenge organization have any money to devote to this cause ? Could your organization sponsor a Fund Drive to which Patriots could donate money so we and other States could finance lawsuits where required by the state procedures?
An outside the box idea just occurred to me. Shouldn’t our State Attorney General, Pam Bondi, file the lawsuit ? Her job is to take action when a crime has been committed. Obama’s certifying he was a “Natural Born Citizen” when he filed his papers in 2008 was a fraud. His use of forged documents and a Social Security number of someone else for I.D. purposes is also fraudulent. This is another avenue that can be considered for those states which may have an AG who is ”friendly” to this issue– or who will just carry out their sworn duty per their Oath.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Has anybody contacted Bondi with the evidence of Obama’s ineligibility?

Kathae,
Not yet. I felt it would be better to wait to see if Dr. Orly Taitz could handle this — since she has so much related experience.
I have contacted Dr.Taitz yesterday.
If she is unable to take on this task — due to her extremely busy schedule — then Bondi will be our Plan B. Also, there is no real guarantee that the AG would want to sue her own State govenment — that was a wild idea. Pam is fearless, but she could also generate some political enemies if she launched the suit.
If you know Pam Bondi personally, you might want to mention the Obama Ballot Challenge Campaign ans see what she thinks.

Jack: if you want to do a complaint, it does not require a lawyer. If it is a lawsuit, it is advisable to use one. It would be good to have a local lawyer review your options and laws.

This may be a duplicate because I don’t understand the website.
It looks like you would file false swearing charges with the grand jury. This was emailed to HAF@aol

I could give you a copy of my Contested Charges against Obama. I went through my Secretary of State Elections in Texas and also mailed a copy to the Attorney Generals’ Office.
Word of advice, stay away from the birth certificate and SSN. These issues can not be judged by an Election Trial. If you want the information I provided you’ll understand that you won’t need it.

I don’t see where this applies in the initiative of challenging qualifications to be on the ballot.ballot
103.021?Nomination for presidential electors.—Candidates for presidential electors shall be nominated in the following manner:
(1)?The Governor shall nominate the presidential electors of each political party. The state executive committee of each political party shall by resolution recommend candidates for presidential electors and deliver a certified copy thereof to the Governor before September 1 of each presidential election year. The Governor shall nominate only the electors recommended by the state executive committee of the respective political party. Each such elector shall be a qualified elector of the party he or she represents who has taken an oath that he or she will vote for the candidates of the party that he or she is nominated to represent. The Governor shall certify to the Department of State on or before September 1, in each presidential election year, the names of a number of electors for each political party equal to the number of senators and representatives which this state has in Congress.
(2)?The names of the presidential electors shall not be printed on the general election ballot, but the names of the actual candidates for President and Vice President for whom the presidential electors will vote if elected shall be printed on the ballot in the order in which the party of which the candidate is a nominee polled the highest number of votes for Governor in the last general election.
(3)?Candidates for President and Vice President with no party affiliation may have their names printed on the general election ballots if a petition is signed by 1 percent of the registered electors of this state, as shown by the compilation by the Department of State for the last preceding general election. A separate petition from each county for which signatures are solicited shall be submitted to the supervisor of elections of the respective county no later than July 15 of each presidential election year. The supervisor shall check the names and, on or before the date of the primary election, shall certify the number shown as registered electors of the county. The supervisor shall be paid by the person requesting the certification the cost of checking the petitions as prescribed in s. 99.097. The supervisor shall then forward the certificate to the Department of State which shall determine whether or not the percentage factor required in this section has been met. When the percentage factor required in this section has been met, the Department of State shall order the names of the candidates for whom the petition was circulated to be included on the ballot and shall permit the required number of persons to be certified as electors in the same manner as party candidates.
(4)(a)?A minor political party that is affiliated with a national party holding a national convention to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States may have the names of its candidates for President and Vice President of the United States printed on the general election ballot by filing with the Department of State a certificate naming the candidates for President and Vice President and listing the required number of persons to serve as electors. Notification to the Department of State under this subsection shall be made by September 1 of the year in which the election is held. When the Department of State has been so notified, it shall order the names of the candidates nominated by the minor political party to be included on the ballot and shall permit the required number of persons to be certified as electors in the same manner as other party candidates. As used in this section, the term “national party” means a political party that is registered with and recognized as a qualified national committee of a political party by the Federal Election Commission.
(b)?A minor political party that is not affiliated with a national party holding a national convention to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States may have the names of its candidates for President and Vice President printed on the general election ballot if a petition is signed by 1 percent of the registered electors of this state, as shown by the compilation by the Department of State for the preceding general election. A separate petition from each county for which signatures are solicited shall be submitted to the supervisors of elections of the respective county no later than July 15 of each presidential election year. The supervisor shall check the names and, on or before the date of the primary election, shall certify the number shown as registered electors of the county. The supervisor shall be paid by the person requesting the certification the cost of checking the petitions as prescribed in s. 99.097. The supervisor shall then forward the certificate to the Department of State, which shall determine whether or not the percentage factor required in this section has been met. When the percentage factor required in this section has been met, the Department of State shall order the names of the candidates for whom the petition was circulated to be included on the ballot and shall permit the required number of persons to be certified as electors in the same manner as other party candidates.
(5)?When for any reason a person nominated or elected as a presidential elector is unable to serve because of death, incapacity, or otherwise, the Governor may appoint a person to fill such vacancy who possesses the qualifications required for the elector to have been nominated in the first instance. Such person shall file with the Governor an oath that he or she will support the same candidates for President and Vice President that the person who is unable to serve was committed to support.

I greatly admire your efforts. In reviewing the Florida situation, it appears that we are awaiting an attorney to pursue matters, due to the costs involved. I presume there are similar situations in other states.
As you are likely aware, many of us are individuals with limited financial resources and/or legal world contacts. Therefore, if the messgae you are projecting only catches the attention of people like us, the possibility of success are limited, particularly with a looming deadline. Therefore, I suggest the following.
Contact various legal foundations which would likely be willing to take up the cause. They would definitely have sufficient contacts within the states and connections with financial resources. Then, things could really get moving. I am listing some below. Of course, some of these may be focused on certain issues (like abortion), but if they were apprised as to how an Obama re-election would would adversely affect their focus areas, they would have a rationale for jumping on board.
The possibilities are: United States Justrice Foundation; The Justice Foundatuion; American Cebter for Law & Justice; Alliance Defense Fund; American Family Association; Christian Legal Fellowship; Christian Legal Society; Liberty Counsel; Liberty Legal Project International; Pacific Legal Foundation; Liberty Institute; Thomas More Law Center. I think most, if not all of these are in the U.S.. My research was a bit rushed. You might want to explore the website of our “good friends” at the People for the American Way. Click on Blogs, then go to Right Wing Watch. This might bring up some more names than the above.
Next, I would deeply urge that you form a Group on Facebook. Facebook is the main source of contact most Conservatives have. I know you have a page, but with a page, “likers” are not informed about new posts. This tends to cause the subject matter to be forgotten or less prominent in people’s minds. A group would keep this issue in people’s faces on a daily basis. You might want to have groups set up which address solely the progress in each respective state.
With Facebook groups set up, you could spread the word through various Tea Part groups, etc.
If you get a legal society involved, but they need funding, I believe that since they have a long track record people would trust them enough to give financial support.
I hope this helps.
