    Of course, the first thing you may be thinking on reading this is "where can I do it?" but never fear, I want this thread about the likely impact of foreign donations for US candidates in 2012. I remember back in 2004 it was an issue with the Howard Dean campaign taking a lot of donations from particuarly Europe.

    Here's a link to a good article on the subject, complete with graph showing that Republicans are taking big in foreign corporate donations.

    Does anyone have anything more unusual to share regarding this subject?
