Obama’s ‘Good Will’ Hunting

Newsweek ^

The Obama campaign has shattered all fund-raising records, raking in $458 million so far, with about half the bounty coming from donors who contribute $200 or less. Aides say that's an illustration of a truly democratic campaign. To critics, though, it can be an invitation for fraud and illegal foreign cash because donors giving individual sums of $200 or less don't have to be publicly reported. Consider the cases of Obama donors "Doodad Pro" of Nunda, N.Y., who gave $17,130, and "Good Will" of Austin, Texas, who gave more than $11,000—both in excess of the $2,300-per-person federal limit. In two recent letters to the Obama campaign, Federal Election Commission auditors flagged those (and other) donors and informed the campaign that the sums had to be returned. Neither name had ever been publicly reported because both individuals made online donations in $10 and $25 increments. "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.

Look at the last paragraph, it about made me blow my top:

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.

Jail time has to be enforced on all the Muslim Messiah’s voter fraud and donation fraud. We, the people, have to demand it. Does anyone know who we call or email to start demanding that the law be enforced. Equally as important, we must demand that the Muslim Messiah produce his birth certificate to prove he’s eligible to run for the Presidency.

Four-hundred fifty-eight million?????? The only positive I can take from this is that it's still a race.

“Consider the cases of Obama donors “Doodad Pro” of Nunda, N.Y., who gave $17,130, and “Good Will” of Austin, Texas, who gave more than $11,000—”

Sounds like money laundering.

Thanks for posting. FYI, I discovered these illegal donations the end of July and Pamela Geller posted it at Atlas Shrugs. Thought you might like to know.

I'm so glad it's getting wider play.
