Mitten goes to London to raise money

[Ravi]

Since all his money is kept outside of the US, this isn't really surprising.

It is not illegal if the ones giving the money are US citizens.

Maybe when he gets in the WH he can let Brits stay in the Lincoln Bedroom...better than Chinese under Clinton, IMO.

Plus ca change, and all that.

1. And in a related story...remember the money collected for Obama from Gaza phonebanks?

Nearly $25k was contributed by Monir Edwan, listed on FEC documents as contributing from Rafah, Gaza. A refuge camp.
a. “The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment.” http://www.fec.gov/law/feca/feca.pdf
b. When a federal political committee (a committee active in federal elections) receives a contribution it believes may be from a foreign national, it must: Return the contribution to the donor without depositing it; or Deposit the contribution and take steps to determine its legality, as described below. Either action must be taken within 10 days of the treasurer's receipt. 11 CFR 103.3(b)(1). Foreign Nationals Brochure


2. "WASHINGTON DESK - A Democrat Party fund-raiser, Johnny Chung, recently decided to cooperate with federal investigators from the Justice Department about the circumstances under which he was involved in a $100,000 fund transfer made to the Clinton-Gore Campaign in 1996.

According to reliable sources, Chung has made good on that promise. He has told federal investigators that the source of those funds was a high ranking Chinese military officer and high ranking Chinese Communist Party hack who doubled as an aerospace executive whose father was General Liu Huaqing."

But, glad you brought this up.....

Barrack H. Obama.

H stands for hypocrite.

 

[peach174]

It was just fine when Obama did it in 2008.
Now it's not with Romney?
The media thought it was very smart for the President to do it when he was running for the first time.
It's OK for Dems to do it, but not when Repubs do it.
Talk about hypocrisy.

Never assume Ravi isn't lying.

Lying as if she is lying is the only LIE here, dipshit...





From the OP article...

London is one of the world banking hubs, with plenty of Americans who are involved in the securities and investment industries that Romney has targeted. This is Romney’s second trip to London to raise money for his presidential campaign.

Only American citizens or US green card holders are allowed to contribute to a presidential campaign, and Romney’s fundraising invitations note that attendees “must provide copy of US passport.”

I read that, which is why I made the point.

Romney is of course not going after foreign national bank money.

That is illegal.

You Failed.

I know it's not illegal....just wanted to see if Ravi would say so too.
Obama was getting donations from Non-Americans in 2008....but that's different.
