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:
TOPICS: Breaking News; Crime/Corruption; Culture/Society; Foreign Affairs; Government; Japan; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: 2004; 2004election; campaign; campaignfinance; cfr; clintonlegacy; contributions; corruption; crime; dean; democrats; democratscandals; donations; election2004; electionlaws; fec; feclaws; foreigndonations; foreigners; funnymoney; howarddean; illegalcontributions; japan; japanesefundraising; japangate; kucinich; mediabias; online; president; rattricks; stealthevote; thisneedslegs; tokyo; voterfraud

Well, I e-mailed the thread to WSJ, Best of the Web. They will know what to do with it, if anything I think the WSJ ran an article about the donations a few days ago. They said they were legal.

I copied both the thread on Free Republic and the actual Japanese page to my computer. I was really surprised when my computer copied the Japanese characters. I will try to e-mail this to some of the TV and radio stations.

Nice work (again)!
However, what is your comfort level regarding being able to say that our Japanese allies are refraining from doing this for Bush at the present time? Have you performed enough due diligence that we won't be caught with our pants down if we start raising Caine on this topic against Dean?
I say this not to offend, just to cover our bases.

I think that the article was referring to donations to MoveOn which is one of those PAC that the left so cleverly got through with campaign finance laws. This is not a solicitation for a special interest group. This is a direct solicitation.

Good job, I sent a notice to the FEC with the relevant facts. I encourage all to do the same.

I would hope they would not do that to any American presidential campaign from whatever party. Thank you.

"A Freeper might want to archive those Japanese websites quickly, before the 'embarrassed ones' begin to take them down or alter content."
Mozilla (free browser) is very good for this kind of thing, it grabs a whole page with pictures and puts it in a folder. Try mozilla.org
To: FastCoyote
Thank you. I assume it will save into eternity, whatever HTML and text there is on a page, be it in English, or Japanese, or Yoruba or Pashtun, right? Thanks.

What if all the Al-Qaeda members in Japan signed up to volunteer for Dean? He has to be their candidate of choice and certainly would appreciate their help. Japanese communists? Members of the Japaense Society for the Consumption of Whales and Baby Fur Seals? Communist Party of Japan. Gee, if we could only find the key folks in Japan who, if found to have volunteered to help Dean, might cause him all sorts of embarassment when discovered. But then, that's the sort of thing McAuliffe might do.

Like American Universities, college students tend to be more liberal than older executives (who are the actual decision makers).
I'm not that concerned about goofy college students posting web pages.
I'm more concerned about goofy business leaders and stupid legislators permitting the goofy activity.

That's just it, the rats are finally realizing that their message is way out of step with most of America and need to broaden their financial base. Anyone can check out www. opensecrets.org and see that huge difference in campaign contributions between the 2 main parties. The republicans have the rats whipped.
