foreign money

Although I'm sure political and moral support for this initiative from abroad would be greatly appreciated, monetary support from foreigners should probably be discouraged. The ultimate goal of a PAC in the US is to funnel money into campaign funds, and if some of the money comes from outside the country, it could easily put the PAC into questionable ethical and legal waters. Does anyone remember the Chinese campaign contribution scandals from the 1996(?) presidential election?
