Obama didn’t know his aunt was in US illegally

Barack Obama’s campaign has returned a $265 donation made by Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango from Kenya. It turns out that she may have been in the United States illegally. Only US citizens can legally   donate to a candidates campaign. Many are questioning why the Associated Press story suddenly broke now. Read the entire story by clicking the link below:

Attempt to suppress black vote in Philadelphia

In an attempt to suppress the African American vote in Philadelphia a flyer is circulating falsely stating that undercover police will be at the polls waiting to arrest anyone with traffic offenses or warrants.

Despite record numbers of voters who turned out during the presidential primaries last spring, eight million African-Americans are still not registered to vote. This according to Rick Wade, African-American vote director for the Obama for America presidential campaign.
