CAMPAIGN CASH RACE TURNS INTERNATIONAL; MOVEON.ORG CENTER OF INTRIGUE; CLARK SEEKS CANADIAN SUPPORT, WEBSITE SHOWS

Frustrated with the lack of domestic support, left-leaning website moveon.org has apparently been reaching beyond American borders to generate cash revenue over the Internet!

The provocative international fundraising strategy threatens to embroil the presidential candidacy of General Wesley Clark and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean. Both men are named on international fundraising websites suggesting donations to moveon.org...

Moveon.org, which has been running ads critical of the Bush Administration, has named an "International Campaigns Director."

It is not clear how much money has been raised from foreign sources, but political websites from London to Portugal have been directing their citizens to stop the American president George Bush by donating to moveon.org.

With John Kerry going on Sean Hannity's show todya and the connection (media friendship) between Hannity and Drudge, this has the fingerprints of Kerry's campaign on it.

This is going to get ugly and the Clintons and Bush reelection team are loving it!

Frustrated with the lack of domestic support, left-leaning website MoveOn.org has apparently been reaching beyond American borders to generate cash revenue over the internet!

The provocative international fundraising strategy threatens to embroil the presidential candidacies of General Wesley Clark and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean. Both men are named on international fundraising websites suggesting donations to MoveOn.org.

MoveOn.org, which has been running ads critical of the Bush Administration, has named an "International Campaigns Director," the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

It is not clear how much money has been raised -- to date-- from foreign sources, but political websites from London to Portugal to Montreal are directing their citizens to stop the American president George Bush by donating to MoveOn.org!

Wesley Clark's official campaign website has been offering a link to "Canada For Clark", which in turn advises Canadians: "Non-Americans can't by law, give money to any particular candidate's campaign. But we can support pro-democracy, progressive American organizations like MoveOn.org, which do their best to spread the ugly truth about Bush and publicize the Democratic message. Click here to donate to MoveOn.org."

The top traffic referrer to CanadaForClark.com Is Clark' s Official Campaign Website. http://clark04.com/grassroots/.

Dean04Worldwide.com is a noncommercial and volunteer website offered by Corinne Sinclair, a non-US citizen, based in London. Domain registration information indicates the website name servers are owned by PromoHosting.com, a website hosting service based in Portugal. Dean04Worldwide.com encourages non-Americans across the global to help Dean win the 2004 election.

A notice on the website explains how to provide funds to MoveOn.org, since non-Americans cannot donate directly to the Dean campaign.

Late last week, a Swedish website removed an "EU-MoveOn.org Fundraising Appeal," claiming MoveOn.org "No Longer Accepts Contributions From Non US Citizens/Permanent Resident Aliens."

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, who has been headlining moveone.org events, is said to have vocalized serious concerns about the website accepting cash from foreign sources, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"To avoid even the appearance of impropriety, we are not going to take contributions from overseas," Wes Boyd, one of the founders of MoveOn.org, explained this weekend.

Boyd refused to disclose how much revenue had already been generated from overseas sources.

It's not there, people! Did any of you try following the link to the Drudge Report?

http://drudgereport.com/

It's still Saddam news. And Drudge caches his news links, BTW.
And if the link was really there and is said to have disappeared, check out the moveon.org site to see if it's there.

[truthandlife]

Look at #42. Right off Drudge's website.

The full Drudge article makes it seem like the practice may be over. But that doesn't mean we can let up. If moveon.org keeps their international donations, they should be completely discredited.

[jtminton]

Maybe you need to refresh? I can see it. That's weird.

[July 4th]

If you go to moveon.org's site, you now have to check a "US Citizen" box to donate. Hmmm...I wonder how new that box is.

Would be interesting to know.

[UCANSEE2]

Foreign money from organized worldwide crime (known as the ICS- International Crime Syndicate) is likely being supplied to moveon.org, alledgedly at the behoof of Chillary from Soros.

The Dems play the game well, and noticed the success of FR. They are using like tactics, spending money on Internet resources to capture the minds of the American public.

[IGOTMINE]

Unless the money is coming from China to ensure a candidate with a similiar political outlook is running for election.

Thank you for donating to MoveOn.org

And it shows 20:42 Eastern Time. That's over three hours from now. Does that mean he'll put it up later?

[UCANSEE2]

Spread the ugly truth? Is that the best you can come up with? Anything specific, or are you used to mindless minions who accept generalizations as gospel?

CLARK SEEKS CANADIAN SUPPORT...

Socialism, slowly it turns.....

[jimbo123]

Hold your fire. I just posted the text from the site.

[UCANSEE2]

I am sorry. My mistake.

[lainie]

LOL !!

Gotta LOVE it. Silly democrats.

[jimbo123]

I agree with your assesment of their nonsense. Their hysteria is laughable.

[familyop]

"Maybe you need to refresh? I can see it. That's weird."

You are absolutely right! That is weird. I though Drudge's site auto-refreshed.

It's there, folks--my mistake!
