Congressman: Obama buying votes in Kenya
WND ^ | July 19, 2010 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 07/21/2010 5:06:01 PM PDT by RobinMasters

The Obama administration is buying votes in Kenya, charges Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health.

WND reported Monday the Obama administration has funded $23 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars through the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, to support the passage of a Kenyan constitutional referendum Aug. 4 that would increase access to abortions and authorize the operation of Islamic law tribunals in the East African nation.

In a statement issued by his office yesterday, Smith charged that several Kenyan groups receiving USAID money had been given specific quotas built into their USAID contracts requiring the grantees to each produce 20,000 "yes" votes for the Aug. 4 referendum.

"A chart produced by USAID's inspector-general shows that 60 sub-recipients got funds for activities that include transportation, fuel, road shows, voter ID and 'yes' vote 'buy in' for professional elites," Smith said.

That would be both illegal and unconstitutional and we all know Obama swore to uphold the Constitution and protect Americans from it's enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Problem is that the democrats are America's worst enemies now.

The Founding Fathers knew about the danger of the divided loyalties of dual citizens which is why they required the president to be natural born. Too bad that part of the constitution is being ignored by today’s ruling class.

In case you want to pass this on and some people don’t agree that WND is an unbiased site, use the congressman’s site... it’s all there.

“Who in Kenya can vote for him??”

A.: The manner that he’s preventing the enforcement of immigration laws - they all can.

B.: When we send his sorry ass packing back to Kenya - they all can.

I’m sure I’ll get flamed, but if it increases muslim abortions, where’s the downside? (Other than being 30 or 40 years late.)

U.S. taxpayer dollars should not be used to set up Muslim law tribunals.

Schwing Ping!

Prediction Confirmation

Obama is funding the Odinga thinga to usurp the legitimate government of Kenya. More tribal war and genocide just around the corner.

Its "HopeNChangey"

The blood will be on his hands, and will America stop him then?

WHAT A POS.
