I have been monitoring the donation data at the FEC website that the Obama for America campaign has submitted.
Contrary to what the Obama campaign claims, they did NOT "rout out" or "refund" donations they received from the Edwan brothers (Hosam, Monir and Osama) of the Rafah Refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. OBAMA LIED: "Palestinian" Campaign Contributions NEVER RETURNED OR REFUNDED
In the latest filing (9/20 for the month of August, 2008), it is apparent that the campaign has PURGED the database of most of the donations from the Edwan brothers. Edwan Brothers Transaction Analysis at Google Docs
Another example of a purged donation is this one:
The name: Hbkjb, jkbkj
City: Jkbjnj
Works for: Kuman Bank (doesn't exist)
Occupation: Balanon Jalalan
Amount: $1,077.23
This donor was discovered on August 2 by yours truly. It no longer exists in the donation data.
Transparency be damned!
Keep on these vermin. The truth MUST come out.
You are right (are you the gal who does AtlasShrugged?). Unfortunately, the FEC doesn’t even have a quorum, and the Obamedia doesn’t care.
Camp Obama is the sleaziest, most corrupt bunch of humanoids to ever come down the pike. You think the “financial crisis” was bad, wait until the messiah is sitting in the Oval Office. We ain’t seen nothing yet.
That’s funny, jkbkj used to be be my favorite name. :^)

Are there enforcement provisions in McCain-Feingold? If so now would be a good time to bust em out.
Thank you Amityschild for following this.
I appreciate what you are doing.
I’m glad they’re being watched. Thanks.

Last week we saw where Monir and Hosam Edwan, two brothers from a Hamas Compound, who claimed to be lving in the non-existent town of “Rafah, Georgia,” contributed between $24,000 and $33,500 ( moving-target sum) to the Obama campaign.
Initially, the two jihadists brothers claimed that they bought T-Shirts from Obama’s website.
Then the Obama campaign claimed they returned the money to the Edwan brothers and forgot to report it to the FEC due to a technicality.
Then the Hamas-Sycophants Edwan brothers declared that they never received any refund from the Obama campaign at all.
As skunky as that all sounded, there is yet more.
It seems there is a third brother, Osama Edwan, who contributed to Obama’s campaign as well. He also disclosed that he is from the non-existent town of “Rafah, Georgia”.

You’ll have to make it a full-time job. The McCain campaign won’t, and the FEC cannot act due to Leftist interference.
Speaking to WND, the two brothers praised Obama and admitted giving the money online to his campaign. They said they are not U.S. citizens or green card holders but are citizens of “Palestine.”
Monir and Hasam Edwan denied their financial transactions online – listed as donations in U.S. government election filings – were actual donations to Obama’s campaign. Instead they claimed they purchased about $30,000 in Obama T-shirts from the presidential candidate’s online store – a contention that did not hold up during a WND interview, when they changed their story several times.
“My brother Hosam and I knew that Obama will be a big hit even before he became a candidate. We knew the guy would be a celebrity in Gaza so we decided to invest the amount of $29,000 to buy Obama T-shirts from his website and sell them in Gaza,” Monir Edwan told WND, speaking by cell phone from Gaza.
“I know on the back of this story Obama rivals will present our business as a donation and they will try to use this story to let Obama fall, but I’m telling you, we bought T-shirts,” Edwan maintained.
Edwan said any profit made from purportedly selling the Obama T-shirts was not returned to the Obama campaign.
“We have nothing to do with the Obama campaign. We just like Obama and believe he will be the best for the Palestinians and for the world.”
At first Monir Edwan claimed he sold the T-shirts in Gaza for around $9 and that a profit was made.
“Some young men even bought the T-shirts for 60 shekel ($17.29), which is a lot to spend in Gaza on a T-shirt, but that is how much Gazans like Obama,” Edwan claimed.
But it was pointed out to Edwan the T-shirts for sale on Obama’s website are listed as $20.08 and that selling the merchandise for less would not yield a profit.
“Maybe we sold the shirts for a lot more. I can’t remember now,” said Edwan.
Asked why he would purchase T-shirts at such a high rate and pay the cost of shipping when he could pay a company to produce T-shirts for less, Edwan replied, “We wanted the shirts to come from the campaign.”
Palestinian Brothers in Gaza Illegally Donate to Obama $29K, Says Reporter Aaron Klein
Last update: 2:01 p.m. EDT Aug. 4, 2008
Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign, according to WorldNetDaily’s Jerusalem bureau chief, Aaron Klein.
The donations would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving donations from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, said in response to a query.
The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign’s lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.

God always has a plan, eh? I am in between jobs this month. Concentrating on this ;-)
