Clinton volunteer quits over e-mail
From Times Wire Reports
Judy Rose, a volunteer coordinator for Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign in Jones County, has resigned after forwarding a chain e-mail that suggests rival Barack Obama is a Muslim who wants to destroy the United States by being elected to its highest office.
Obama, a Democratic senator from Illinois, is a member of the United Church of Christ and has never been a Muslim. The hoax e-mail has been widely circulated.
