Default Rick rides the wave

Texas Gov. Rick Perry raised a record $22 million for the Republican
Governors Association (RGA) this year, $4 million of that from Texans.
The trouble is, Texas law prohibits state elected officials from
accepting campaign contributions during the legislative session. Perry
wasn’t collecting for himself, but he did hit up some of the same
people who contributed to his personal campaign. And the RGA, in turn,
has supported his campaigns. This raises the question of whether Perry
was exploiting a loophole by soliciting money from Texans with stakes
in the legislative business – exactly the thing the law was meant to
stop.

Obama and Clinton are subject to Texas fundraising laws?
