Oink !!!!
But the perpetrator of that law passed in dead silence leading to unlawful
claims & corruption..... is still trying to fool all of US.
Google and read for yourself "Pigford vs. Glickman"
"The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a
fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as
those who made him their president."
Its "WE THE PEOPLE," not "ME" the President.
