Dear 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 candidates
constitutional eligibility and that his office has no authority to even raise the eligibility
question. He doesn’t even have a copy of your rules and regulation in his entire office. He
has 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 were
nominated 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 that
require the Florida Democratic Party presidential candidates to be eligible to hold the
office of president according to the US Constitution and a copy of the verifying
documents you used to make that verification for the 2008 presidential primary and
general 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.

Sincerely

Robert Quinn
