My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: I am a salaried employee that is paid bi-weekly, which is usually 26 pay periods per year. This calendar year has 27 bi-weekly pay periods...can my employer only pay me for 26?

Are they actually threatening to do this or are you just getting ready for a fight?
Yes. I've been given a written notice.
Under federal law (FLSA) each pay period stands alone. There is nothing that legally supports a so-called annual salary and altering payments to meet the annual target. So the action as stated is not legal. However, telling you to not come in to work those two weeks and not paying you likely would be legal. There are many actions which are legal under federal law that can adversely impact the employee.
I was pretty certain that this didn't sound legal. I would have no problem taking 2 wks. of unpaid but that is not an option. What do I do next? What is the specific law and website I can check out?
I want to make sure I understand this. You've been told that you will have to work two weeks without pay?
