No charges have been filed against him and he hasn&#8217;t been arrested. Both men say they have no idea how to make the poisonous ricin and had nothing to do with sending them to Obama, U.S. Sen.

Curtis said he met Dutschke in 2005 but for some reason Dutschke &#8220;hated&#8221; and &#8220;stalked&#8221; him. The experience, Curtis said, has been a nightmare for his family. He has four children \u2014 ages, 8, 16, 18 and 20. It also has made him reflect deeply on his life.&#8221;I&#8217;ve become closer to God through all this, closer with my children and I&#8217;ve even had some strained relationships with some family and cousins and this has brought us closer as a family,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/charges-dropped-ricin-letters-sent-obama-005013342.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read More: http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/charges-dropped-ricin-letters-sent-obama-005013342.html<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricin letters sent to Obama and other officials still unsolved TUPELO, Miss.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
