Default Re: Ron Paul Raises Over 5 Million In 3rd QTR

[ QUOTE ]
Couldn't he do a funds transfer to a U.S. friend he trusts then have that person donate to Ron Paul?

No. You are not allowed to donate money to a campaign if you got the money from someone. If you are a foreign citizen, you may not donate to US campaigns, period.

About the Tucker Carlson piece, I think that kind of the thing is the #1 reason minor candidates need to raise money: credibility. You're not going to be taken seriously if they think you have no shot and they're not going to think you have a shot without money. Any money Paul raises is worth double in free media exposure as a result.
