Citizens United allows it, and it was upheld by a 5-4 vote in the supreme court. This crap is just another Ron Paul internet spam campaign to spread rumors, in order to garner support for his stupid ass group, the "libertarians". Do you really think the multi-biillion dollar Romney campaign would make a mistake like taking a small amount of money illegally thereby ending his presidential bid? Who would run against Obama, if it were true?
Quote:Courts and the FEC almost immediately started gnawing at the new law. And in recent years, three court decisions rolled back many of the limits on special-interest groups and potentially opened the door to foreign governments or corporations spending freely on campaigns through U.S. corporations they control. (FEC regulations ban foreign nationals from contributing, but they say nothing about a foreign corporation donating money through a U.S.-operated subsidiary.)http://www.propublica.org/blog/item/supe...gn-finance
