Links to Objections to Other Candidates

Documents for objecting to Romney being on the NY Ballot for President:
Object to Romney

Documents for objecting to Santorum being on the NY Ballot for President:
Object to Santorum
It's too late to use a Board of Elections Objection for Obama's delegates. Unless he files another document tomorrow Tuesday 2/21/2012.
There may be another Opportunity to challenge his ballot status after the Democrat Convention anoints him, and the Democratic Party of NY Designates him for the General Election. Watch the
NY Board of Elections website
for not-yet-posted calenders for the general election.
Esnips has somehow corrupted the text based files I referred to in the previous post.  Meanwhile, there is a site that provides some guidance and case law on this.
NY Ballot Challenge
Try this link for a discussion of the legal issues:
jurisdiction justification for review by the NYS Court of Appeals
There may be some useful info at my previous post below, but I don't have time to fix the problems just now.

Documents you need to Object

NY Registered voters  have only until this Monday Feb. 13, 2012 to object to Obama being on the Ballot in NY State for President.
The Board of Elections must rule on your objections.
If you think they rule wrong, you will have standing as an objector to to sue them.
If someone else thinks they ruled wrong, they must notify you personally that they are suing the Board.
It will cost you some paper and some postage. 
1 - Download the 4 Word Documents at the link:    4 Word.doc files
      They are:                 these instructions;
                                     Service...(Proof you mailed it to the two addresses);
                                     General Objection; and
                                     Objections Specific

2 - Use your word processor to edit-in your voter identifying information, as you are registered in NY State.
     Delete what In the Specification of Objections you don't agree with.
     The "Natural Born" issue has much historical support in NY.
      Only Natural Born Citizens [having 2 Citizen Parents] could own early NY mines, and there is case law on this definition.
3 - Print 4 copies of the  Specification of Objections, and 2 copies each of the other two documents.

4 - Sign and date the General Objection; and the Specification of Objections [all copies].
5 - The General Objection must be postmarked in the Mail to the Board Monday, Feb. 13, 2012.
The other 2 papers can be later, but why waste postage? Do all together, but first:
6- Go to your post office  and Certified Mail 2 copies of the Specification of Objections to  Diamond and to Obama [one copy to each] this Monday, 2/13/2012 [your deadline for mailing the General Objection] Their addresses are in the documents. [Arguably, you only need to notify Diamond, or Obama. but why argue?]
7- Save the two Certified Mail Receipts.
6 -  Immediately sign the Certificate of Service. 
7 - Attach the  two Certified Mail Receipts to the Certificate of Service.
(Affidavit with notary is optional, but the NY State Board of Elections insists on receiving the certified or registered mail receipts so it knows you really sent the documents to the two people above.
You can mail this to the Board up to 2 days after you file your Specification of Objections, but why wait?)
8- Then  put into an envelope to the NY State Board of Elections [address in the documents] these Enclosures:
   General Objections - signed & dated
   Specification of Objections - signed & dated
   Certificate of Service - signed & dated - [optionally notarized]
   2 Certified Mail Receipts
9. Get the Envelope postmarked by asking the Postman at the Post Office window to postmark it as you hand it to him to mail. [Postmarks are no longer always made otherwise.]

You now have standing in New York to help save the world from Obama.

NY State has put this objection procedure into place to defeat anti-establishment candidates before they even get started. The political bosses have made it deliberately tricky and cumbersome.
If  many of you object, their own objection procedure would make it procedurally hard for the Establishment  to counter a successful objection.
Why not give it a try?
You can contact me from Sunday Morning through Friday at  optomist@mailinator.com
If you can improve the documents, tell me. My General Objections are now on file. I'll file specifics soon.
After Friday I'll probably monitor that email less frequently.
Or you can comment on this page.
