Obama's Fundraising And RICO

From Israpundit:
Obama Fundraising May Have Violated RICO

AFL-CIO Attorney: “It is legally impossible to conduct a nationwide raffle”


by Bill Levinson

We recently sent a complaint to the Federal Election Commission with regard to the “Dinner with Barack” fundraising promotions of 2007 and 2008. The Center for Competitive Politics quoted AFSCME (part of AFL-CIO) associate general counsel Jessica Robinson on the use of raffles to raise money for political campaigns.

Ms. Robinson says unequivocally that it is impossible to legally conduct a nationwide raffle and furthermore that doing so violates the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) statute. Racketeering includes systematic violations of any state’s gambling laws.. This means there is excellent cause to remove Barack Obama from office without an extensive foray into the Twilight Zone to find his birth certificate. If Obama for America broke the law by running an illegal Internet gambling operation, and Minnesota law enforcement is on record as saying that it did, that is cause for impeachment. Here is what Ms. Robinson has to say in her own words...

Not that I expect anything will come from trying to hold Obama to the letter of the law. Those who support Obama will just brush off any violation of the law that he perpetrates.

That's where we are folks. We have as President of the United States a man who thinks he is above the law.
