Here’s a simple rule: NO FUNDRAISING OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY. Be you British (McCain), Chinese (Clinton/Gore) or any other country.

I always thought a simple rule would be: No fundraising except from individuals you would represent if elected. Restrict Representatives to residents of their districts, Senators to residents of their states.

Wow. I would have thought that something like this would be illegal. Even if it’s not, it would seem (to me at least) like a violation of the spirit of the law.

Even though it is a short blurb, it does say that only Americans are invited to the campaign event. While I am very much not a supporter of McCain, I can see nothing wrong with this. Americans overseas have a stake in the election, and a right to contribute. If this helps turn out more funding for McCain with a personal appearance, well that’s fine.

I wouldn’t get all upset if HRC or Obama were to go to Franfurt and hold an event off-base, there are many Americans that live there.
