President Obama is willing to use U.S. taxpayer dollars to persuade voters to approve the updated governing document, which would loosen regulations designed to protect the unborn, establish Muslim family courts and create a right to homosexual marriage.
It's not unusual that Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki would see enactment of the provisions as a "government project," but Mr. Obama is on shaky legal ground when he commits U.S. government resources to it.
On Aug. 4, Kenya's 12.3 million registered voters will be asked a simple question: "Do you approve the proposed new constitution?"
It is doubtful that many will have the opportunity to read the entire 206-page document, which was created by a committee of experts whose consultants and office equipment were bankrolled with $580,381 in grants from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Section 26 of the proposal explicitly allows a "trained health professional" to snuff the life of an unborn baby at any stage of a pregnancy. "It is a radical departure from existing law," Rep. Christopher H. Smith, New Jersey Republican, told The Washington Times.
Under the Siljander Amendment, a provision of federal appropriations law, it is illegal to use foreign aid to "lobby for or against abortion."
The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi on Friday told the Associated Press that it had suspended or terminated nine grants, but it denied directly funding the referendum's Yes campaign.
Officials obviously were feeling congressional heat, as Mr. Smith had obtained documents from USAID's inspector general that identified $632,479.99 in federal grants whose explicit and direct purpose was rounding up affirmative votes.

It won't be the first or the last federal law violated by the kenyan. His very election is a violation of federal law.
He ran on trashing the Constitution and creating a Communist America so who's surprised except for the people peeling off the Obama bumper stickers .
NWBD(nothing will be done)
The common thread here is not the Muslim roots, nor the abortion roots.
It is the anti=Christian roots of this Administration - and all American Administrations since JFK.
The Zionist Ideology of de-population and Muslim extermination is at hand here - heed the call to disobedience!
Do not fight back. Resistance is futile.
