Inscriptions and MarkingsInscribed on end page: To the President of the United States of America, BARACK H. OBAMA from [author's signature] It is my hope and prayer sir that you are able to find the time to read and educate yourself concerning the corruption, discrimination, violations of human, civil and Constitutional Rights taking place within our current Family Law Court System. If there exist a need for social and/or institutional "Change" in our society today, it most certainly applies to the most fundamental and precious institution with which we build our society, The American Family, along with the systems initially put into place to protect it! In this we seek your help and support. God Bless you, your family and your presidency. Jan 15, 2009 Inscribed on title page: [author's signature]
