Barack Obama may have Received $3 Million in Campaign Donations from Overseas
Barack Obama may have received $3 million from people in foreign countries. This is okay if the people sending him money are Americans living abroad, however it is illegal if these are foreign citizens sending in donations. The RNC has filed a complaint with the FEC asking for an investigation into possible donations from foreign citizens to the Obama campaign.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has raised about $3.3 million from contributors who did not list a home state or who designated their state with an abbreviation that did not match one of the 50 states or U.S. territories, according to records provided by the Federal Election Commission.
Most of those contributors did identify themselves as living abroad in foreign cities. Under federal law, foreign citizens cannot make political contributions, but U.S. citizens living abroad can.
Above the $3 million in question there is also money that comes from people who have donated less than $200 and there are no records of who these people are. Barack Obama’s campaign hasn’t bothered to keep very accurate records on who is making small donations to his campaign.
The $3.3 million total does not include donors who have given less than $200 and whose contributions do not have to be itemized. Some of that money could also have come from overseas.
While technically Obama has done nothing wrong by not itemizing these small donations there is another number that I find staggering.
About half of Obama’s $455 million in contributions so far are unitemized. The campaign does not identify those donors.
There are no records for over $200 million that have been donated to Obama. That is a hell of allot of $200 donations. This sounds like more that just “Joe Sixpack” sending in a small donation. There is more going on here. It makes you wonder how many people have sent Obama $200 and how many times. How many big time players are out there sending in multiple donations of $200 donation so that they can go undetected? And where is this money coming from?
John McCain’s campaign however lists all donations and where they came from, even if it is a five dollar donation. So it’s not just a matter of time constraints as the campaign claims.
Why can’t, or won’t, Obama’s campaign show us where the money is coming from? His record in the state senate is devoid of a paper trail as he has voted present on an alarming number of bills (130) to keep his agenda hidden, and now his campaign is devoid of a paper trail of where his donations are coming from.
His past is off limits, his state senate voting record is purposely thin, and his campaign refuses to release where all of his money is coming from.
Barack Obama is operating in stealth mode. He is hiding who he is and who is donating to his campaign, there has to be reason. He is the most liberal person ever to get this close to the presidency and he is going to win. There are just too many secrets with this man, and they are beyond coincidences.
What are you hiding Barack, and who is funding you?













This does not seem like such a big deal. I am a US citizen living in Canada, and I contributed to both the Kerry and Obama campaigns. In fact, if 10,000 US citizens living abroad each contributed $300 (not hard to imagine), that would come to $3 million. All legal – but here is another false alarm for the Republicans (SO nasty this year, with the repugnant robocalls and the flat out lies) to deceive voters with.
So, chill pills all around please.

Yes but the donations in question are from people living abroad who claim they are citizens but either didn’t include their home state when they donated or even worse included an state abbreviation that didn’t exist. That sounds phoney to me.
