- robryan 15y agoCould you get around that though, what if foreigners could say buy an overpriced piece of software from the group?

You might have heard the words "holy" and Isreal in a song played in the US in December... 50 million times and delivered as sermons in churches on every street corner in the US.

- cjoh 15y agoYeah, this isn't true. It just means the lobbyist would have to register as a foreign agent lobbyist if it was lobbying on behalf of a foreign interest. It's totally legal to accept foreign money to influence congress. And as a result of citizens united, they can even run ads in support of candidates and campaigns. China too, is a person with a first amendment right!
