A ghost from the Bill Clinton era has risen again in Hillary Clinton's 2007 presidential fund raising circus. In 1996 Bernard Schwartz was the major donor Bill Clinton's fund raising efforts. Apparently China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) was also involved in sending campaign funds to Mr. Clinton. After he was elected President, Billl Clinton eased export restrictions of missile technology to China. This turned out to be a boon for Barnard Schwartz's company Loral Space and Communications and helped the Chinese to gain valuable missile technology from the U.S. Missile technology that was most likely developed through millions of dollars of tax payer money just pissed away and given to a competitor nation so Bill Clinton could become the President. This incident sparked a probe that became known has Chinagate where 22 Democratic donors were convicted of wrong doing.

Well it looks like Bernard Schwartz is still involved with Democratic fund raising and also has close ties to disgraced Democratic donor Hsu. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Hsu were both on the Board of Trustees of the New School in New York. Coincidently, the New School received a generous $750.000 government grant funneled to them by Hillary Clinton. Come on people wake up! This women is as corrupt as they come. And our current form of campaign financing is just legalized graft and bribery. Until we clean up the campaign bribery system, our politicians will always be beholden to the rich, the special interests, and foreign governments!

Here are a few more links about Hillary's unscrupulous donors:

We need public financed elections to eliminate this major source of government corruption!
