by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein - NY Post
The Obama re-election campaign has accepted at least one foreign
donation in violation of the law — and does nothing to check on the

Walker said he used
his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state
with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345.
