I donated less then $200 to the Paul campain, its ludacris to state he would have accepted payments from forign nationals! In fact, when you submit your pledge your certify that you are:

A) A U.S. citizen

B)Do not work for a defense contractor.

and a few more requirments. But, I can see why you would rather have PAC donations instead of allowing people to fund a grassroots movement to any capain! Its much better when only the rich can finance their own campain & the republic be damned!

If, we got rid of PAC money the republican race would have been between Mitt Romney & Ron Paul. And Democrats could have voted for Obama since he would probally be the only one with money still able to campain!
