Mr Howard increased the non-disclosure rate from $1,500 per donation to $10,000 per donation. This would then allow any single party to donate $89,991 during any one year. Quoting Mr Howard from [...]

Two independent contractors have abused their privileges and opened up the passport files of Barak Obama, Hilary Clinton, and John McCain.
US Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice is quoted as saying to Senator Obama, “I will stay on top of it until I get to the bottom of it.”
Hopefully she will stand by her word and [...]
