This isnât just some ultra right wing bomb throwing either. An official complaint has been filed with the FEC and Google search results of foreign donations to Obama bring up nearly 300,000 hits. This is another reason Why Barack Obama Scares Me.
There are two articles (1, 2) up at The Jawa Report stating that people with fake names and addresses can make campaign contributions to Barack Obama with legitimate credit cards. One writer made a $5 donation to Barack Obama (with screenshots to include his online banking site to verify the donation) under the name of James Bond in London, DC (as in Washington).
Donations from foreigners to presidential campaigns are most certainly illegal. This is not a foreigner making the donation but it certainly allows for the possibility of it. One person from Canada fraudulently claiming to be a U.S. citizen making a $5 donation would be illegal thus bringing in to question the fundraising policies of the Obama camp.
