Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Obama's Anonymous Foreign Donors and Other Bizarre Illegal Activity The treasurer must check committee records regularly to make sure that successive contributions from one contributor remain within the limits. <http://www.fec.gov/info/PartyGuide/Chapter2.htm> $50 Limit on Anonymous Contributions An anonymous contribution is limited to $50. Any amount in excess of $50 may not be used for federal election purposes. 110.4(c)(3). I have been pouring over docs from Obama's foreign contributions and it's rotten. As I pointed out here <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/07/obama-who-is-je.htm l> , there are way too many overseas contributions and I find it hard to believe they are all American citizens. $500,000 came into the campaign via "not employed" people. How does the FEC monitor that? Ranging in value from 75 cents to $250 (well over the anonymous limit) there are 81 donations from all the world (and this is just in the document I have been analyzing). It is rather suspicious that all 81 anonymous donations are devoid of any identification information. My file on anonymous donations: Download <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/files/Atlas-AllAnnonymous.p df> Atlas-AllAnnonymous.pdf For example, there are two donations on sequential on the 13th and 14th of February of $250 $250 by anonymous country "information requested" no employer no occupation. Again, over the maximum allowed for anonymous contributions. Mind this list is not complete. I have no idea how much more there is. <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/files/Atlas-AllAnnonymous.p df> If one lists by city, there is $223,000 from "information requested" (meaning no info) city. Helloooooooooooo. These are some big donations. Download <http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/files/Atlas-Allindividualdo nations.pdf> Atlas-Allindividualdonations.pdf Single Donors from overseas that exceed the legal limit: [UPDATE CORRECTION -$4,600 is the legal limit--$2,300 for primary, $2,300 for general.] Single amounts from $4,600 from Margaret Vento (homemaker) on the 8th of June 2007 her country and state was unidentified. [Can she donate $4,600 to the primary race?] There 5 donations of $4,600. There are three individuals Philip Ryan who works for Credit Suisse, London and he gave four separate donations: On 31st of March 2007, he gave $2,300. Then on the 29th of September he gave $2,300 which was then "given back" and on the same day gave he gave $4,600.[Again, this esceeds the primary limit] Philip Ryan of London gave of total of $6,900 in the year 2007. The next bizarre donor is Richard Baumann (UK lawyer) has a total of 29, yes folks, 29 transactions. Seven of which are negative. And the balance of which are of course positive. The total of $4,850 over the legal number. Strangely enough, the all date January, February, May of '08. They range from $25 to $2,125. What a frickin mess. How much money was raised from the phone banks in Gaza (see <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21YF7ggCG6g> video)? >From the FEC website. <http://www.fec.gov/info/PartyGuide/Chapter2.htm> The ban on political contributions and expenditures by foreign nationals was first enacted in 1966 as part of the amendments to the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), an "internal security" statute. The goal of the FARA was to minimize foreign intervention in U.S. elections by establishing a series of limitations on foreign nationals. These included registration requirements for the agents of foreign principals and a general prohibition on political contributions by foreign nationals. In 1974, the prohibition was incorporated into the Federal Election Campaign Act (the FECA), giving the Federal Election Commission (FEC) jurisdiction over its enforcement and interpretation (more <http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/foreign_nat_brochure.pdf> here) During the current election cycle, individuals may contribute up to $2,300 per election to Federal candidates. Contributions of cash which exceed $100 from one person are prohibited. If a committee receives a cash contribution exceeding $100, it must promptly return the excess amount to the contributor. If an anonymous cash contribution over $50 is received, the amount in excess of $50 must be used for some purpose unrelated to federal elections. <http://www.fec.gov/info/PartyGuide/Chapter2.htm> Anonymous donors may not exceed $50 Contributions made by one person in the name of another are prohibited. No person may knowingly permit the use of his or her name to effect such a contribution. It is also prohibited to knowingly assist someone in making or to accept a contribution in the name of another. It is also unlawful to knowingly permit the use of one's name to effect a contribution in the name of another or to help someone make or accept such a contribution. ILLEGAL ACTIVITY The treasurer of a committee is responsible for ensuring that all contributions are lawful. <http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/janqtr/11cfr103.3.htm> 11 CFR 103.3(b). If the treasurer has reason to suspect that a contribution is excessive or prohibited, he or she must, within 10 days of receiving the contribution, either return the contribution to the donor or deposit the contribution. <http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2008/janqtr/11cfr103.3.htm> 11 CFR 103.3(a).
