At least the small-dollar contributions.

quote:
“The independently owned website Obama.com (https://contribute.barackobama.com/donation/index-ovf.html), which steers users to the president's campaign donation website, gets most of its traffic from foreign countries, raising questions about the legality of tens of millions of small dollar donations to the campaign…”

“Generally, donations from foreign nations are illegal.”

“…68 percent of the traffic to Obama.com comes from overseas.”

“…a TV network, national magazine and national website were working on the story but were being pressured by the Obama campaign to kill it.”

Taxcutter says:
Not surprising.

Foreign donations are illegal regardless of the Citizens United ruling.

Exactly. I never understood why back in 2008, he went to Germany to give a campaign speech.

Now I realize why.

Nothing the left does is illegal. Laws are for the little people and the GOP.

Mystery firm formed days before $5M campaign gift
27 Oct.`12 WASHINGTON (AP) — A shadowy Tennessee company donated more than $5 million to a prominent conservative super political action committee days after establishing itself.


So who's behind one of the largest batches of election contributions this year? There's a questionable trail.

New campaign finance reports show that the political committee, FreedomWorks for America, received seven donations totaling $5.28 million from Knoxville-based Specialty Group Inc. The money is helping pay for TV ads supporting conservative candidates for federal office.

An Associated Press review of Tennessee business records showed that Specialty Group filed incorporation papers Sept. 26, less than a week before it gave several contributions to FreedomWorks worth between $125,000 and $1.5 million apiece.

The Specialty Group appears to have no website detailing its products or services. It's registered to a suburban Knoxville home.
