Dear Candidate _________________________________________:

th th nd
I am a citizen living in the following voting districts: 16 Federal Congressional, 26 State Senate, 52 State Representative, County
nd nd
Board 1, 22 Judicial and 2 Appellate.

Currently, I have 32 (+1) “Ballot Objection” actions pending with the State Board of Elections. I have challenged all candidates that fall
within placement on my ballot. My challenge is that no one’s nominations papers prove they are constitutionally eligible to be on the
ballot based on the US and Illinois Constitutional requirements of age and citizenship status.

In February 2010, I filed a motion in McHenry County Court seeking to enjoin the State Board of Elections from certifying the elections
from the Primary of 2010. During that time period I discovered that no candidates in the State of Illinois are verified for constitutional
eligibility. Constitutional eligibility is set out by the US and Illinois Constitutions and is separate from issues related to compliance with
Illinois Statutes. Three County Election Clerks provided written testimony in this court action. (Meroni V Illinois State Board of Elections)

I was denied my TRO remedy. I assessed my chances to succeed in appeals and decided that the most efficient path is to work with the
State Board of Election’s processes as requested by their attorney in the TRO legal challenge. Thus, I challenged the candidates seeking
placement on my ballot during the last 5 day Contest period.

What is required to establish eligibility? To enter the US Army, a raised seal birth certificate is required; in election cases, US
Naturalization Papers would also suffice verifying citizenship and age.

I am offering to each candidate I challenged that if they add either a raised seal birth certificate or US Naturalization Papers to their
nomination papers for public access, and post a photographic link on their website – Then I would gladly withdraw my objection to their
nomination papers.

It is not my intention to frustrate the process of ballot placement. I simply wish assurances my ballot has constitutionally eligible
candidates on it.

I also seek the same assurances from you. I understand my legal options have restrictions because I missed the 5 day contest period for
objections to your ballot placement. I wasn’t informed about the objection process until it was past the deadlines. Regardless, I feel the
public has the right to know if their ballot has constitutionally eligible candidates on it.

I ask you, at this point- to please assist me in securing assurances that all candidates on my 2010 November ballot are constitutionally
eligible by positing to the public a raised seal birth certificate and/or US Naturalization Papers. In addition, I believe the public interest is
served if you would also link to the same documents at your campaign website.

I have come to understand that most Illinois residents are not informed that at no point during the qualification process are candidates
verified for constitutional eligibility. This is one problem easily resolved. I thank you for your cooperation in this extremely important
matter related to the constitutional qualifications of your candidacy.

May God Bless you and God Bless America!
