Dear Senate/Assembly Members,

I write to you today respectfully requesting that you join the 11 States that are requiring, "that candidates for President and Vice-President provide their original birth certificates in order to be placed on the ballot." That is needed to make sure the candidate "is a natural born United States citizen, prior to certifying that the candidate is qualified to appear on the ballot."

 In addition, you also need to include the following:

1. Provide a procedure for and declare that citizens have "standing" to challenge the documentation.

2. Require candidates to provide a certified copy of their birth certificate and include an affirmation they meet the Constitution's requirements for the President.

3. Paperwork would need to document they meet the "eligibility requirements of Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States." It requires an affidavit that says: "I was born a citizen of the United States of America and was subject exclusively to the jurisdiction of the United States of America, owing allegiance to no other country at the time of my birth."

4. Candidates would have to document their eligibility and also provide for protection for state taxpayers to prevent them from being billed for "unnecessary expense and litigation" involving the failure of 'federal election officials' to do their duty.

5. Allow the public access. It demands an "original" birth certificate issued by a state, the federal government, or documentation of a birth of a U.S. citizen abroad.

6. Demand documentation of constitutional eligibility making sure that Presidential candidates meet the Constitution's requirements for age, residency and being a "natural born citizen." They must prove that they are a natural born citizen by providing an original long form birth certificate and proof that both parents were US citizens at the time of the birth.

7.  Within ten days after submittal of the names of the candidates, the national political party committee shall submit an affidavit of the Presidential candidate in which the Presidential candidate states the candidate's citizenship and age and shall append to the affidavit documents that prove that the candidate is a natural born citizen, prove the candidate's age and prove that the candidate meets the residency requirements for President of the United States as prescribed in article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States.

At the time the Constitution was written, many analysts agree, a "natural born citizen" was considered to be a citizen born of two citizen parents. If that indeed is correct, Obama never would have been qualified to be president, as he himself has confirmed his father was a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, making Obama a dual citizen with Kenyan and American parentage at his birth.

The challenges to Obama's eligibility allege he does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims, or that he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen, through his father, of the U.S. and the United Kingdom's Kenyan territory when he was born and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.

 A year ago, polls indicated that roughly half of American voters were aware of a dispute over Obama's eligibility. Recent polls, however, by organizations including CNN, show that roughly six in 10 American voters hold serious doubts that Obama is eligible under the Constitution's demands.

Obama may be able to continue showing contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law for the next two years, as he has demonstrated his willingness to do in his first two years in office. A day of reckoning is coming. Even if only one significant state, with a sizable Electoral College count, decides a candidate for election or re-election has failed to prove his or her eligibility, which makes it nearly impossible for the candidate to win.

The American people demand to know that a person running for the highest office in the land, is indeed qualified under our Constitution to hold the office in which they seek. I urge you to join the 11 other states that have put forth a bill to protect our Constitution and our Republic.

Respectfully submitted,
