Obama campaign accepted foreign Web donation -- and may be hiding more By ISABEL VINCENT and MELISSA KLEIN Last Updated: 10:11 AM, October 21, 2012 Posted: 12:34 AM, October 21, 2012 The Obama re-election campaign has accepted at least one foreign donation in violation of the law â and does nothing to check on the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions, a watchdog group alleges. Chris Walker, a British citizen who lives outside London, told The Post he was able to make two $5 donations to President Obamaâs campaign this month through its Web site while a similar attempt to give Mitt Romney cash was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens. Walker said he used his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345. âWhen I did Romneyâs, the payment got rejected on the grounds that the address on the card did not match the address that I entered,â he said. âRomneyâs Web site wanted the code from the back of card. Barack Obamaâs didnât.â In September, Obamaâs campaign took in more than $2 million from donors who provided no ZIP code or incomplete ZIP codes, according to data posted on the Federal Election Commission Web site. The Obama campaign said the FEC data was the result of âa minor technical error.â http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/bam_blind_eye_to_illegal_donors_8SWotytr1RvbhyDCRyyrEL
