Dear Candidate _________________________________________:

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

I am the citizen that posted 32 (+1) “Objection” actions with the State Board of Elections on
June 28th. I have challenged candidates that fall within placement on my ballot. My challenge
is that your candidate nominations papers do not prove you are constitutionally eligible to be
on the ballot based on the US and Illinois Constitutional requirements of age and citizenship
status.

By my over-site, I missed filing objection papers on Mr. Randy Stufflebeam. He is the (+1)
referenced above. I attempt to correct that error by asking him to comply with the same
request that I have for the other 32 Objections filed within the filing period.

In February 2010, I filed a TRO 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 all 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 you would add either a raised seal birth
certificate or US Naturalization papers to your nomination papers for public access, and post
a photographic link on your website – Then I will gladly withdraw my objection to your
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 ask you, at this point- to please assist me in securing assurances that all candidates on my
2010 November ballot are constitutionally eligible by adding to your nomination papers a
raised seal birth certificate and/or 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!
