RNC Wants Barack Obama Investigated for Campaign Finance Law Violations
The Republican National Committee wants to have the Federal Election Commission investigate some donations that have been made to Barack Obama’s campaign. Besides the possibility that the “citizen of the world” may be accepting foreign money as donations, there is also another clause that Obama may be using to hide some illegal contributions.
At the heart of the RNC complaint is a federal fundraising rule that lets campaigns accept donations under $200 without itemizing the names and addresses of the donors on its campaign finance reports. The rule was intended as a matter of practicality — it did not seem reasonable to ask a campaign to gather that information from every five-dollar donor.
But the Obama campaign has raised more than $200 million this way, a staggering sum for donations that will not be subjected to outside scrutiny.
That is a hell of allot of money coming in from donations under $200 and the RNC wants it looked at. It appears as though some people are contributing much more than what is allowed by using small increments.
Two apparently fictional donors using the names “Doodad Pro” and “Good Will” gave Obama more than $11,000 in increments of $10 and $25, according to Newsweek.
And that is not all, according to this article Barack Obama may have received $34 million from citizens of other countries, which makes them ineligible to donate to American elections.
Other news accounts suggest that roughly 11,500 donors who gave a total of $34 million to the campaign may be citizens of foreign countries, who are not allowed to contribute to U.S. elections
Either Barack Obama’s campaign is ignorant of campaign laws or they know the laws but their lust for money and power led them to turn a blind eye to what was going on under their noses. If this is true, was it a mistake or did Barack Obama learn a little something from his association with convicted felon Tony Rezko?
