The ban on political contributions and expenditures by foreign nationals was first enacted in 1966 as part of the amendments to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), an "internal security" statute. The goal of the FARA was to minimize foreign intervention in U.S. elections by establishing a series of limitations on foreign nationals. These included registration requirements for the agents of foreign principals and a general prohibition on political contributions by foreign nationals. In 1974, the prohibition was incorporated into the Federal Election Campaign Act (the FECA), giving the Federal Election Commission (FEC) jurisdiction over its enforcement and interpretation.
Raising money from major bankers in London at the heart of the largest financial scandal in decades.
What could possibly go wrong?
give the guy a break. it's not like he has the option of going to a major european capital and drawing a crowd of 200000.
He isnt running for President of the world. Campaigning there seems rather stupid
It is a slow typical day at Huggy's house. Nothing to do and nothing to say so he just makes things up. It is a tradgey that this is probably the best that he can do. After November and his Hero is back in Chicago organizing things what will he do.

So you believe Romney's trip to London, Israel and Poland is stupid?

Calling it traitorous is beyond stupid....
Calling it traitorous is beyond stupid....
You are an idiot if nothing Frankie.
BTW.. Suggesting someone kill themself is a bannable offense at USMB..
Just sayin...you fucking idiot!
Example: I have recieved an infraction for something as simple as saying "eat shit and die" which doesn't even come close to what you just did.
For the record, being investigated has, traditionally, not been proof of guilt. Bob Diamond has been found guilty of nothing.... trial by media does not count in this country. Unless the law has changed under the ObamaNation and I hadn't heard.
Idiot.
Where do you people (Rightards) get this "Obamanation" from? Fox? am radio? I'll go take a look miss "I'm not right or left"
Yeah...
I don't know about "Treason", but soliciting campaign funding from foreign donors is in fact "illegal".

And that's not even considering the whole banking scandal thing...
Why? People who believe in juvenile nonsense aren't likely to be swayed by conflicting information.Ya ...maybe. But that is a topic for another thread. How about disputing my OP? OR is juvenile name calling all you have? I provided good evidense from reliable sources. Please feel free to find fault with my links and quotes.
Your OP is juvenile name calling. or is calling Romney a traitor somehow different?
Juvenile? Hardly. I believe the facts I have presented meet the definition I presented as treason.
I understand that if you have not read my links you take my title as inflamatory. I stand by what I have presented.
What is interesting is that no one has posted anything that contradicts my OP. You think my OP is juvenile? Prove it by posting some research that shows it so.
Desperate to get re-elected Obama illegally solicits donations from foreign nationals. | PRESS CoreYeah...

Keep him busy here so he doesn't have time to abuse dogs so the old pussy can pretend to feel like a tough guy.

How do you feel about Obama admitting he once ate a dog?
Faux rage much.
:An early-day motion (EDM) signed by 11 MPs last week demanded the bank and its directors stop working to bolster Romney's election campaign war chest and concentrate on repairing confidence and trust in the banking system instead.

Calling it traitorous is beyond stupid....
Doing a fundraiser on foreign soil in the company of foreign nationals under investigation for the biggest financial fraud in recent decades is further beyond stupid.
Prove the Obama campaign sent them out by mistake.
Oh PUH-LEASE.
Blind mass e-mails sent to foreign nationals by mistake? That's what you've got?
E-mails that would require their recipients to LIE on their responses in order to make a donation?
That's your proof?
That's just funny.
Meanwhile, Mr Romney is literally going to foreign nations and directly soliciting contributions from foreign nationals face-to-face.
There is no comparison.
The law states, specifically, that the person in question must knowingly solicit said donations. Duh.
