Clark letter: Ted Cruz

Another lawyer turned politician has duped the good people of Idaho. Ted Cruz has a Canadian birth certificate and as the U.S. Constitution states clearly, is not eligible to hold the office of president, not being a naturally born citizen. If Cruz is the Republican nominee it will ignite the same controversy that surrounded Obama during his quest for the White House. If Cruz was financially successful as a lawyer, he wouldn’t need to become a politician. One only has to look at the Clintons to see how lucrative it is being a lawyer turned politician. To you 100,000 people who cast a vote for Ted Cruz, look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Am I stupid or what?”
