Clinton’s Campaign Contributors-Take 2

…from James Richardson of the RNC eCampaign
In 2004 John Kerry only raised $24,000 in the general election in New York’s Chinatown, while Hillary managed to raise $380,000 at a single event. Sounds amazing - more like fishy. Only 24 of Hillary’s 74 Chinatown donors could be reached for comment on their donation.
Even more interesting is the reason for many of their donations as “many said they gave to Clinton because they were instructed to do so by local association leaders. Some said they wanted help on immigration concerns. And several spoke of the pride they felt by being associated with a powerful figure such as Clinton.” (LA Times “An unlikely treasure-trove of donors for Clinton”)
It seems even without Hsu, Hillary’s campaign is still making amazing headway in pressuring donors to give to her campaign of “change.” Oddly enough, many of the donors who provided large funds via checks can not be found through property records and according to public records are even registered to vote.
According to the financial records submitted, many of these donors held jobs as chefs, servers, or dishwashers, clearly making it difficult to give donations ranging from $500 to $2,300. The 2000 Census reported the average annual income was less than $21,000. The question begs to ask, how can so much money come piling in from residents below the poverty line, who regularly find it difficult to merely provide for their families?
The Clinton campaign alleged Yi Min Liu had made a donation of $1,000 however he said he only attended a banquet but made no donation. Countless Clinton campaign donors can not legally give money to her campaign under federal election law.
Given Hillary’s track history with Hsu, I suppose we can not expect anything better. First Hillary tricks donors with Hsu’s underhanded fundraising techniques, and then she decided to bribe voters with $5,000 a child, and now her campaign organizers are pressuring poverty line voters to give substantial donations - sounds like a real candidate of the people.
