Steve posted this article on Facebook, so I’m re-posting it here with the section from the FEC.gov website that proves this is illegal. But, hey with this lawless President, what does he care? He’s been doing this all along when he doesn’t get his way, he just does it anyway and gets away with it.
It is ILLEGAL to accept campaign contributions from foreign countries:
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 in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment.

This makes me sick, it makes me wonder who and what is serving us in the other branches of government to call this man out??? Plus, whether or not you are fond of the choice of Mitt Romney as the Republican front runner, it should incite people who love this country to do the right thing and shove this usurper out of the office of President. In my lifetime, I have never seen anyone in the office that so blatantly disregarded law, the Constitution or moral fiber that the office should have. He has no semblance of protocol, decorum or discipline of the presidency, and should be rode out on a rail. I cannot fathom freedom loving Americans tolerating this counterfeit in chief for another moment than we have to…

Steve, I’ve come to the conclusion that Obama is trying to envoke a Constitutional crisis of civil unrest by continually ignoring the Constitution and laws to push the American people to that end. IMO, he wants this to happen to declare martial law (which the Constitution doesn’t give him that authority either, the States do that) in order to stay in office indefinitely (and become a dictator). That’s the only thing that makes sense to me, because I know this man is smart enough to know what he’s doing.
