In the States, you can raise up to $2300.00 (€6.75) from an individual maximum, foreign donations are prohibited and donors over $200 have to be reported on the internet. Anonymous donations are illegal, though donors under $200 only have to be recorded for FEC audits. Holy cow, those limits are high.

Today's IT: Fianna Fail TDs, Senators and MEPs disclosed donations of over €500,000 during 2007, more than the combined total of all other political parties. TDs and Senators are obliged to declare only donations valued at €635 and over. Therefore, the donations actually declared amounts to only a fraction of the actual funds raised by candidates last year as they prepared for the general election. Indeed Keith.
