Another story buried by the MSM. This should be national headlines. Obama and the Democrats actively trying to undermine our rights as American citizens. Not to worry, they can still contribute, en mass, to Obama's campaign illegally, as they did last time. Obama's campaign even admitted to having turned off the anti-fraud protections on his website. Of course is was McCain who was audited, as he had accepted public funds. If the GOP allows this kind of illegal campaign financing this time around, they deserve to lose.

According to the article, there were two plaintiffs, one of whom was an Israeli living in New York who wanted to donate to conservative candidates.

Good decision. Also believe Citizens United decision was wrong.

We can not allow foreign globally owned corporations or groups (and all major multinationals are foreign owned) to have the ability to sway our elections for their benefit. Our elections should not be influenced by only USA citizens and not foreigners or even those with dual citizenship. We will inevitably lose US sovereignty if we allow it.

Interesting. So a foreigner living in the US does NOT have the same rights as a citizen.
