Re: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request

Dear Sir / Madam:

This is a request for records under the Freedom of Information Act [or Privacy Act]. I am requesting records created or dated between the dates of August 21, 2008 and September 13, 2008. Specifically, I am requesting documents that relate to

the Philip J Berg lawsuit initiated and served on Barack Obama, the DNC and the FEC.

For the purposes of determining what, if any, fees may be assessed in connection with the processing of this request, I am

a representative of the news media requesting records as part of a newsgathering effort. I am affiliated with Citizen Wells blog. This has an educational aspect due to students getting information from the blog in the absence of reporting by the MSM.

I request a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily my commercial interest. As stated above, the MSM is not covering this story and the public deserves to know the truth and have the facts reported in a timely manner.

If you have any questions regarding this request, my daytime telephone number is ___________. My email address is ____________. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,

Citizen Wells
