Dear Mr. Kennedy: I have heard rumors you might be suspending your campaign. You should not suspend your campaign; but instead file federal and/or state lawsuits challenging Kamala Harris’ constitutional eligibility for the office of President (POTUS) and Commander in Chief (CinC). As a candidate for the same office as Harris, you have legal standing (to which many others have not been granted) to legally challenge Kamala Harris in the federal and state courts; and thus force SCOTUS to take up the issue once and for all on the merits; and decide who is a “natural born Citizen” (“nbC”) of...

According to the Dietary Reference Intake report for macronutrients, a...
