Some things never change, the US congress approved funds for opposition candidates in Venezuela. Please contact your congress people and tell them to stop meddling in Latin American internal politics, to stop giving your tax money to candidates you've never heard of and don't necessarily support and consider signing the petition at
Hands off Venezuela

2. Against the law in the U.S.

Candidates cannot accept money from foreign governments (remember Al Gore and the Bhuddists?), but Congress feels it perfectly acceptable to engage in an activity that would be illegal if the roles were reversed.

Obeying the law is for the commoners.
