As mentioned in the previous post Reports of Obama Fundraising Fraud there have been questions about the manner in which the Obama campaign has raised such large sums of money. Newsweek has also taken notice of the problems with small donors in its article Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting, and has noted that the McCain campaign has made all of its small donor information public while the Obama campaign has refused.
“Good Will” listed his employer as “Loving” and his occupation as “You,” while supplying as his address 1015 Norwood Park Boulevard, which is shared by the Austin nonprofit Goodwill Industries. Suzanha Burmeister, marketing director for Goodwill, said the group had “no clue” who the donor was. She added, however, that the group had received five puzzling thank-you letters from the Obama campaign this year, prompting it to send the campaign an e-mail in September pointing out the apparent fraudulent use of its name.
…(In a similar case earlier this year, the campaign returned $33,000 to two Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip who had bought T shirts in bulk from the campaign’s online store. They had listed their address as “Ga.,” which the campaign took to mean Georgia rather than Gaza.) “While no organization is completely protected from Internet fraud, we will continue to review our fund-raising procedures,” LaBolt said. Some critics say the campaign hasn’t done enough. This summer, watchdog groups asked both campaigns to share more information about its small donors. The McCain campaign agreed; the Obama campaign did not. “They could’ve done themselves a service” by heeding the suggestions, said Massie Ritsch of the Center for Responsive Politics.
Update: Washington Post reports RNC to File FEC Complaint on Obama Fundraising Practices
The RNC is alleging that the Obama campaign was so hungry for donations it “looked the other way” as contributions piled up from suspicious, and possibly even illegal foreign donors.
“We believe that the American people should know first and foremost if foreign money is pouring into a presidential election,” said RNC Chief Counsel Sean Cairncross.
Cairncross alleged there was mounting evidence of this, and cited a report in the current issue of Newsweek magazine that documents a handful of instances where donors made repeated small donations using fake names, such as “Good Will” and “Doodad Pro.”

Let’’s hope the recent suit filed by the RNC doesn’t go the same desultory route that Berg’s suit over the missing COLB has….
The dominating Democratic Congress will block this investigation just like they did for Freddie and Fannie, oh and that little thing called ACORN.
When there is a disaster -they’ll blame it on everyone else but themselves. This is probably evil temptress Sarah’s fault too.
Like Sparky mentioned how they will blame everyone but themselves is true. But like crying wolf (or racist for that matter) too many times. Blaming everyone again and again is going to be back fire. Sooner (and hopefully not) or later.

I am swiss and resident in Geneva, Switzerland.
1) I certify that the Obama campaign has raised money from SWISS residents (not US citizens!)
2) I can also certify that at a fundraising reception help in my town Geneva in early sept., several people gave the Obama campaign about 20′000 usd each which is way above the legal limits in your country.
On my local Geneva TV, a SWISS donor has actually declared “it is our duty – as swiss citizens – to help elect a black candidate because this is a historic and fantastic thing”.
I stand ready to witness and bring proof backing up my statement. I dont know who to contact in usa so I am just tryin to post a few messagges under some articles appearin to raise the question of fraudulent donations to Obama.

Important Update:
Obama & DNC Admit All Allegations of Federal Court Lawsuit – Obama’s “Not” Qualified to be President
Obama Should Immediately Withdraw his Candidacy for President
For Immediate Release: – 10/21/08 – Complete contact details and a pdf are at the end of this article
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania: ”10/21/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and tbe DNC “ADMITTED”, by way of failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions, all of the numerous specific requests in the Federal lawsuit. Obama is “NOT QUALIFIED” to be President and therefore Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate. The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg stated that he filed Requests for Admissions on September 15, 2008 with a response by way of answer or objection had to be served within thirty [30] days. No response to the Requests for Admissions was served by way of response or objection. Thus, all of the Admissions directed to Obama and the DNC are deemed “ADMITTED.” Therefore, Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President.
