Campaign fundraising in other countries


Posted: Jul 15, 2012

What do you think of fundraising and receiving money from other countries?  I thought it was illegal, but I guess not.  If citizens of other countries can donate money to whoever they want to here, do you think they should be allowed to vote in our elections?

Didn't the Clintons catch flack from receiving money from other countries?  It was so long ago I might be wrong, but I thought they did.

Just want to know what you think of a candidate receiving money for their campaign from other countries.

This is what the SCOTUS did to us with their - Citizens United ruling. nm

Man In Hiding After Confessing To Illegal FundraisingFeb 26, 2017
The pattern continues… Those who are connected to the crimes and misdemeanors of the Clinton cartel live in hiding for fear of their lives. Of course there was funneling of money going on. The Wikileaks and Guccifer 2.0 hacks went along way in documenting the quid pro quo nature of Clinton diplomacy. Back in the 90s, it was selling nuclear secrets to China, and schmoozing with high powered Chinese individuals, caught up in real estate deals, fundraising schemes and the like. So it is ...

Fundraising “listen And Learn” Leap Across The Pond Is OffJul 25, 2012
The Romney camp is in defense and denial mode over a comment made by one of his aides that is being reported in UK’s Daily Telegraph. According to the Telegraph, the adviser suggested that President Obama could not understand the depth of the relationship between the two countries because he cannot fully appreciate the "special" shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage."  Whoops! "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special," the adviser said of ...

Compare U.S. Unemployment To These CountriesJul 10, 2010
 Canada's economy continues to outshine other advanced countries as the unemployment rate unexpectedly dipped below 8 percent for the first time in a year and half. Statistics Canada said Friday the country added a higher-than-expected 93,000 jobs in June and said the unemployment rate dropped to 7.9 percent. Economists had expected a more modest 15,000 to 20,000 job increase and that the rate would remain at 8.1 percent. It's the second biggest gain ever recorded by the agency in ...

In fact, it garnered the support of 16 Democrat senators and 57 Democrat House members who are still serving in their respective bodies! Following 9/11, Congress passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, which addressed many of the insecurities in our visa tracking system. The bill passed the House and Senate un ...

I might be the only one, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
