Lawmakers Question whether Obama violated law by backing pro-abortion Kenyan constitution
The Daily Caller ^ | 7/9/10 | Amanda Carey

Republican Reps. Darrell Issa of California, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Chris Smith of New Jersey are calling for a probe to investigate whether Obama administration officials are violating federal law by using taxpayer money to lobby for a new constitution in Kenya that supports and legalizes abortion.

“The U.S. is spending taxpayer money on Kenya’s constitutional referendum,” Issa told The Daily Caller. “The underlying concern is that U.S. funds and efforts are being used to interfere in Kenya’s internal debate over abortion, which is part of the debate over the new constitution. There is evidence that U.S. funds are supporting groups and events with a pro-abortion agenda and that funds have been spent to advance a specific outcome on the referendum. If so, this would violate federal law.”

Look where he is concerating his speech making. Universities.The Democrats have abandoned the elderly as their voting base.They are planning on replacing them with illegals and youth. Unions will be the next voting bloc to go.

Perhaps the elderly may be catching on to what is happening. But it is too late for them now. They forgot one precept, when one sells one’s soul to the Devil, he always collects.

Why are we meddling in another country’s constitutional deliberations anyway? And why are we meddling in family decisions in another country?
