Thurman, ChairwomanFlorida Democratic Party214 South Bronough StreetTallahassee, Florida 32301Dear Chairwoman Thurman;Subject – Freedom of Information Act Request.I have been assured by Secretary of State Kurt Browning’s office that only the political parties have the authority and responsibility to verify their presidential candidatesconstitutional eligibility and that his office has no authority to even raise the eligibilityquestion. He doesn’t even have a copy of your rules and regulation in his entire office. Hehas further advised that I contact the Florida Democratic Party if I wish to obtain the party rules and regulations that mandate how your candidates eligibility for the 2008 presidential election were verified.The document you supplied to the secretary of state only states that your candidates werenominated and mentions nothing about being found eligible to hold the office.In this regard I request a copy of that part of your party’s rules and regulations thatrequire the Florida Democratic Party presidential candidates to be eligible to hold theoffice of president according to the US Constitution and a copy of the verifyingdocuments you used to make that verification for the 2008 presidential primary andgeneral election.

I am making this a Freedom of Information Act Request because it is the most critically important vetting responsibility in the entire country.

For your information this request is being made of

all

2008 presidential candidates.SincerelyRobert Quinn
