This is a reprint of an email I received ever so recently, One I feel
should by no means be ignored. it begs the
Question.
Is Obama Eligible to
Run for President?
I keep reading these same "facts" and you'd think if
they were

National Republican Party,

of this country? Sans such

spin. I'm not a lawyer and

precludes such proof BEFORE

be changed so as we don't
end

the entire country in

out.

it now appears that Barack Obama is constitutionally
