I was wondering if it is illegal to campaign to meet someone, online. I want to meet one of my favorite guitarists, but I can’t just fly to where he is, and hope he lets me in. So I thought I’d have people donate for my travel fund, and then, email Guitar World, Guitar Player, stuff like that, and see if the wordd can get to the person I want to meet. Since I’m not stalking, I’m not meeting the person without their permission, and I’ll state what the donation i sfor, I didn’t think it’d be illegal. Is it?

The organizors of Obama’s camapign disregarded spamming laws and mass emailed (spammed) people who have registered emails addresses on Obama’s website, asking for them to donate money to the Red Cross to aid flood victims.
The problem is that the Red Cross and all other similar agencies are prohibited from doing the same thing, mass emails (spam) requested funds.
Why would a campaign organization intentionally break the law?
And please with the owner’s of Facebook who have earned billions from the website do know the laws and coul probably contribute more than what will be raised and not even notice the money coming out of their bank accounts.
So are we to ignore laws depending on the situation? Should this apply to all laws and who is to decide when it is allowable?
Politicians and political groups acting above the law doesn’t sound like a change to me
According to FT-% then companies are alowed to spam individuals for another company or organization???
Someone needs to read the law and it’s not me.

NO MCCain did not breakfinance campaign laws, all claims by Democrats and democratic party supporters filed claims have been dismissed.
