		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Robert:&lt;/strong&gt; You are welcome. But this report about the AZ SoS is illustrative in that it points to what is wrong with this hyperbolic approach to eligibility. First, no law in AZ requires candidates to be eligible for the job in order to appear on the ballot. Thus, &lt;em&gt;if &lt;/em&gt;by his conduct the SoS is saying, this is his new policy; even assuming such agency &#039;rule&#039; is legal; he needs to apply this eligibility requirement across the board, to all candidates. Otherwise, he is still acting unlawfully. (This is the problem we are having with SoS Andrade in TX.) Second, HI officials are legally prohibited from discussing or releasing the vital records held by that state. (See, for example, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jbjd.org/2012/04/08/obamabc-fuddy-publicprivatehat/&quot; title=&quot;RECOGNIZING when the PEOPLE INVOLVED with the PRESS ROLLOUT of PRESIDENT OBAMA’S 2011 LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AD CAMPAIGN WORE a PUBLIC v. PRIVATE HAT&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RECOGNIZING when the PEOPLE INVOLVED with the PRESS ROLLOUT of PRESIDENT OBAMA’S 2011 LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE AD CAMPAIGN WORE a PUBLIC v. PRIVATE HAT&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.) Rather, any vital records must be requested by the person named in those records, or by someone holding a signed waiver by that person to his or her records.

People who assume President Obama is not Constitutionally eligible for the job are too often too willing to break the law to prove their point. I wish they spent more time learning how things work and then, tweaking the law to achieve their desired results. I don&#039;t mind telling you; I am afraid of people who continue to champion the efforts of someone like this SoS for acting on his own, with no lawful basis for his actions, just because they like what he says is his justification for breaking the law. How shortsighted to trust he will never steal &#039;your&#039; rights in the process. 

Arizonans have had 4 years to change their ballot laws; but, obviously, they prefer to extol the virtues of lone-wolf ideologues like this SoS; or Sheriff Arpaio, a lawbreaker from way back; to do the dirty work. &lt;strong&gt;ADMINISTRATOR&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Native Texan:&lt;/strong&gt; Ha; I bet you will! My only concern is this. Will voters at any of these forums be more apt to understand the system if you disrupt her presentation; or will they discount what you say outright because, not knowing the ins and outs of these issues already; they merely assume, you are a troublemaker (as opposed to an advocate for a sane electoral system)? &lt;strong&gt;ADMINISTRATOR&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Native Texan:&lt;/strong&gt; Okay, we are now saying that both our executive and legislative branches of government are slow to respond to our concerns. Who has the most immediate ability to remedy the problems we have uncovered? The executive branch. So, while the legislature must at some point weigh in - with input from testimony offered this summer at the House interim election committee hearings - for now, concentrate on the executive branch, specifically, the office of SoS Andrade. And this is where we need numbers of Texans, voting with their feet and dialing fingers.

Kelly and I have been given a &#039;permanent&#039; slot on Saturday morning on blog talk radio, to discuss these election issues. This Saturday, I have several proposals to trigger appropriate action from the SoS. (More about that later...) &lt;strong&gt;ADMINISTRATOR&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

I am running into the same stalling tactics in my attempts to get the attention of state officials.  I haven&#039;t been able to get a reply from my State Senator since the initial contact.  His assistant says &quot;he is not in but will contact me when he returns to Austin&quot;.  Kelly and I, however, will be PERSISTENT in our pursuit of these supposed representatives of &quot;The People&quot; and are not going to take no for an answer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;gregnh:&lt;/strong&gt; Yes; we need well-informed Texans present at the election hearing. Absolutely. And, given the latest &#039;news&#039; from the SoS with respect to the problems Kelly (and Bruce) brought to her attention - this will appear in the next article - it seems, we will need their presence before that time.

		<description><![CDATA[I would only be putting the word out for Texan&#039;s to attend.

An RSS feed, &lt;b&gt;R&lt;/b&gt;eally &lt;b&gt;S&lt;/b&gt;imple &lt;b&gt;S&lt;/b&gt;yndication, is the best way to keep tabs on blog posts.  When you click on your RSS feed button on your side bar it will prompt you where to place the feed.  I use have mine along the bookmark bar and then the overflow runs with a pull down.  I have pictured mine here.

So when you click on one you can see all the titles with the most recent on top.  When you changed your domain your feed went from jbjd.wordpress.com/feed to jbjd.org/feed but unless I investigated I would not know that change had occurred.]]></description>
