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 :)
I thought I just saw in the paper a day or two ago that they asked Senator Byrd to step down??
So courts are saying that individual citizens have no standing. In Seattle, the court ruled that the Secretary of Washington State is not responsible for confirming eligibility. The FEC claims it has no responsibility or obligation to do so. The DNC says it cannot be forced to verify his eligibility. Now the electoral college poobahs say its not for them to check out.
WTF is going on here???
What are the chances that a senator and a representative would even consider bringing it up? No reply necessary.
Byrd stepped down from his senate seat
Altho the possibilities of this monster being an illegal alien are apparently strong, is this still an issue, or are we going to let a foreign national take over our government?
Is there any meat on this bone or is this wishful thinking, you know, like indicting Hillary for obstruction of justice, looting a murder scene, grand theft, perjury, suborning perjury, and the like?
Are the Rats going to get away with this unvetted punk taking over our government?
Reality Ditto.
I think there is a pretty good chance BO is an illegal alien.
Thanks for posting this, Free ThinkerNY.
Ping.
Please...PLEASE...everyone calm down. That’s better. Now take a deep breath...breathe in...breathe out...breathe in...breathe out.
Get with reality. This Is Your Life! And this election has been set up, as we are now headed into SOCIALISM. You will be begging for Uncle Sugar for your treats. Then you will start praying for a way out.

It is as you say! They will indeed get away with this. Our laws have become a joke to those who constantly manipulate them. I think we should have a special day named “punk a lawyer” to protest this bullcrap taking place right before our eyes.
This is going to be decided de facto unless someone acts. I have commented on this issue many times and made the point that I believed it needed to be addressed at the state level because elections are administered by the states.
Now here is another way to address the issue, and that is as the response suggests to get one senator and one member of the House to bring it up as an objection to one state’s electoral votes.
What is needed is a Good constitutional lawyer to take on the issue of Obama’s eligibility and figure out the best way to resolve it and either prove he is eligible, or get him disqualified.
If the elected officials of the states and elsewhere are not up to the job of doing their duty to follow the laws of this nation, then Obamanation is NOT OUR PRESIDENT!!! Talk about passing the buck. If they can’t verify, then he is NOT OUR PRESIDENT.
He can NOT represent us if he is NOT a citizen. PERIOD.
NO taxation without TRUE representation. Passive civil disobedience will be called for if this continues.
agreed.
I would have thought that we would have had some kind of laws in place where people are checked before they are found they can run.
Now couldn’t the state dept or the feds find out where he was born?
surely Bush could order an investigation as he could about all the illegal money , prepaid credit cards and the voter fraud.
Byrd stepped down from his senate seat
I thought he stepped down from his committee chairmanship but is retaining his seat.
Just so thye Blacks and kids and losers don’t RIOT!
Rep. Ron Paul has never shied away from Constitutional issues, no matter how controversial.
What’s going on?
Simple. Nobody has balls.
