President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney are both looking overseas for foreign money, given the fact the the presidential race is very tight right now, according to Fox News. Both candidates have been courting Americans living abroad, raising money for what is most likely to be the most expensive presidential election ever in U.S. history and galvanizing a largely untapped group of supposed eligible voters. According to Federal Election Commission Chairman David Mason, the practice is legal and has been used for decades. Obama has raised nearly $600,000 abroad and Romney has raised $325,000 abroad from Americans abroad, according to campaign finance records analyzed by the Center for Responsive Politics. Those figures don't include sums raised by the Democratic and Republican party committees or Romney's take from his fundraising in London during his visit there last week.
When I saw the headline a little while ago, I was concerned because 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 of the United States. Former President Bill Clinton was in violation of this law probably in both the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections when the Chinese funneled money to his campaigns. I did read there's an exception when it comes to raising money from Americans living abroad. However, am I to believe both Romney and Obama are raising money exclusively from Americans living abroad? I doubt it, especially from the Obama camp. With President Obama's disdain for the Constitution, I believe he's raised tons of foreign money for his campaign. He doesn't care about breaking federal election laws. President Obama isn't a nationalist in his thinking anyway. He believes in one-worldism. Romney does as well but he isn't blatant about it. Since Obama and Romney are globalists, they think in terms of foreign or international law, not the "law of the land." Who cares about the law of the land? International law is the "supreme law of the world" to these globalists.
Mitt Romney held an unprecedented fundraiser in Israel this past weekend. I wonder how much foreign money was raised? If we knew how much of the money these candidates raised is against the law, our jaws would drop to the ground. To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
