Keep Foreign Nationals Out Of U.S. Elections
 The Campaign Legal Center filed a complaint recently with the Federal Election Commission calling for a full investigation and enforcement of the law that bans foreign nationals from spending on U.S. elections. The complaint comes after The Intercept reported how a U.S. corporation called American Pacific International Capital, Inc gave $1.3 million dollars to the pro-Jeb Bush super PAC "Right to Rise" - despite the fact that the corporation is controlled by Chinese citizens who live in Singapore. General Counsel for the Campaign Legal Center Larry Noble lamented that "Current FEC rules allowing foreign owned U.S. subsidiaries to spend in our elections, as long as citizens control the contributions, are clearly inadequate to prevent foreign influence." So what needs to be done to ensure that foreign nationals aren't spending millions to undermine our Democratic process? -Thom (What do you think? Tell us here.) |

Thursday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: Trump's immigration speech and Godwin's Law...
Quote: " If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State" - Joseph Goebbels.
Hour Two: FDR broke Godwin's Law - Thom is willing to too!!
Quote: "Less government in business and more business in government" - Warren Harding.
Quote: " This plan [which included felony disenfranchisement] will eliminate the darkey as a political factor in this State in less than 5 years, so that in no single county . . . will there be the least concern felt for the complete supremacy of the white race in the affairs of government" - Carter Glass.
Hour Three: Loss of unions is why we have lower wages, EPI study says...
Article: " Revelation 16:1". "Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, 'Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the earth.'" Quote: " The russian system is so good because everybody is employed… even if half of them are digging holes and the other half filling them in!" - J K Galbraith. Quote: "When fascism comes to America, It will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross" by Sinclair Lewis.
