FREEPER: "I HAVE DISCOVERED SOLICITATION OF FOREIGN FUNDS FOR HOWARD DEAN ON THE WEB (JAPAN)"
AmericanInTokyo (translating) from Japanese Website ^ | 17 December 2003 | AmericanInTokyo (translating from original Japanese to English)

Posted on 12/17/2003 2:25:53 PM PST by AmericanInTokyo

I have come across, (in the Japanese language), the directing of Japanese in Japan (foreign nationals/small contributions) to stateside contribution websites for the HOWARD DEAN FOR PRESIDENT campaign.

The Japanese site is located located at:

http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~lune1978/mt/archives/000218.html

The post is from mid-August, but is still up. You will need a font/browser and Japanese language comprehension capabilities to understand the solicitation. This report follows research provided to FREE REPUBLIC in August 2003 [ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/953876/posts ] also exposing the DENNIS KUCINICH campaign (which is still openly soliciting in Japanese FOREIGN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS), on the internet in Japan. This also follows Matt Drudge's recent expose on some Democrat candidates engaged in this questionable practice. My translation synopsis follows below:

The fact that Moveon.org is soliciting contributions world wide through the name of Dean is just outrageous. If this is legal, it shouldn't be, because you can bet this money is being funneled into Dean's coffers.

I am sure that Clinton took both federal money and foreign donations.

Yeah.... from the Chinese. Remember Johnny Huang?

Thank you. And thank you to the other Freeper here who clearly quoted the law and showed that contributions from FOREIGN NATIONALS is illegal. The exception (which I guess in a previous post) was those who have permanent resident status (i.e. so called "green card."

I call for a federal investigation of these various things that are being gradually uncovered.

ok the translation is tortured but it looks like it may be more of an newsy kind of article about the campaign and how it s working than an appeal for cash.

Yeah, I'm still not quite sure what to make of that translation. This is my busiest time of the year at work, so I haven't given it much thought.

Interesting that there's even such things going on.
Again, thanks for keeping an eye on it.

Give me a break. Like North Korea would need a web site through which to funnel money to Dean.

Hillary would never accept donations from web sites. She much prefers the long established contacts with foreign nationals that she and and her husband have cultivated over the last 10 years.

What if they just gave large sums of cash?

What if all the Al-Qaeda members in Japan signed up to volunteer for Dean?

Kuchinich needs cash and a first lady. Good work, AmericaninTokyo.

Gore supports Dean - now there's a perfect marriage.
