Morning Memo: The House on Jungle Road; Elton John's Love for Hillary Tainted?
Elton John's fundraising concert for Hillary might be a federal violation of campaign rules. [Washington Times via Radar]
To say the least, I find it rather humorous and interesting to read Elton John's fundraising efforts, in behalf of Hillary Clinton, may be violating American campaign laws. Oh, really! Let's get real! I think this is a minor campaign law technicality, and rather trivial, compared to John McCain's birth in the Panama Canal Zone.
John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which may be a major obstacle and conflict with his presidential aspirations. BTW, the Panama Canal Zone is not a suburb of Panama City, Flordia. No! The Panama Canal Zone is located in the southern part of Central America, and is not in the United States.
The American Constitution states that the President must be a natural-born Citizen. What the founding fathers exactly meant is up to interpretation and debate, and certainly this issue has to resolved soon. Granted, John McCain:
1. Was born and the year was 1936.
2. Was born in the au naturel ( nekkid ). In other words, John McCain was born in his birthday suit--nekkid or naked.
3. Is an American citizen.
From my point of view just being born in the au naturel ( naked ), and being an American citizen doesn't quite raise the bar high enough to call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue home.
If Elton John doesn't get a free pass with his Hillary Clinton fundraising, John McCain shouldn't get a free pass with his Panama Canal Zone birth.

Illegal concert? Elton John's fundraiser for Clinton could break election rules
The 1966 legislation was introduced to "minimise foreign intervention" in American elections. Penalties for infringements include fines and prison sentences.
A spokesman for the Federal Elections Committee did not rule out the possibility that the concert could contravene the act if it is ruled that Sir Elton is contributing indirectly to the Clinton campaign.
The Washington Times said the law "prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly."
But there is an exemption, according to the Washington Times, as long as the foreign national isn't compensated. Sir Elton is not believed to be being paid for the fund-raiser.
A spokesman for the Clinton campaign pointed out that Sir Elton is volunteering his time by appearing at the concert.
A complaint would have to be filed with the U.S. Federal Election Committee for any action to be taken. No complaint has yet been filed.
Ont. ombudsman probing closed Sudbury council meeting on Elton John show
TORONTO — A scandal in the wind involving Elton John concert tickets and Sudbury city council has caught the attention of Ontario's ombudsman.
Many residents of the northern Ontario city who couldn't get tickets to the sold-out March 2 concert by the pop music legend were fuming after learning that city council had early access to a block of 100 reserved tickets.
The councillors were able to purchase up to eight tickets each, even though those who stood in line - or waited online - to buy tickets were limited to a maximum of six each.
But that's not what attracted Ombudsman's Andre Marin's attention.
Marin notified the City of Greater Sudbury this week that he is investigating a complaint about a closed-door city council meeting.
Under changes to Ontario's Municipal Act that came into effect this year - changes that Marin had fought for - all meetings of elected municipal councils and committees in the province must be open to the public, with only a few narrow exceptions.
"The law has changed to make them accountable," Marin said Thursday. "The only way you could challenge a municipality's decision to meet secretly before Jan. 1 was to sue the city. Now they have an avenue of complaint to the ombudsman of Ontario.
"It's the dawn of a new era for municipalities, to hold them accountable for their decisions. It's not good enough to simply hold meetings secretly and appear in public to rubber-stamp or take a vote (on closed-door decisions)."
The complaint in Sudbury concerned allegations that councillors met privately to discuss matters related to the concert and the controversy about their reserved tickets.
Details of the ombudsman's investigation, including the complainant's identity, are confidential, but Marin said he has assigned four investigators "who are packing their bags and heading to Sudbury" for the weekend.
"We've already got interviews lined up with eight out of 13 councillors, and we're also interviewing senior city officials and anyone who has relevant information to offer," he said.
"We're going to be moving very quickly on this investigation. We blitz a case and turn it around as soon as we can."
Marin acknowledged the ticket controversy "has been of great public interest," but that's not what his office will be investigating.
Marin also said he will not investigate a similar controversy in Kitchener, Ont. - the only other Canadian stop on John's most recent tour - where city councillors also availed themselves of reserved tickets to the show, which quickly sold out.
"The difference is in Sudbury we received a complaint." Marin said. "We spent a week or so making preliminary inquiries, narrowing the issues, and we decided that it was worthy of an investigation.
"Whereas in the Kitchener case, we haven't received any complaints."
The ombudsman investigates complaints about closed council meetings in municipalities that have chosen to use his services, and his office said the City of Kitchener has instead decided to use the Association of Municipalities of Ontario for any investigations.
The Sudbury council investigation is the ombudsman's second under the new Municipal Act rules.
The first investigation involved a council meeting in Fort Erie that turned out to be in compliance with the act.
Wash. Times' McCaslin misrepresented FEC spokesman, advisory opinions, to raise questions about Clinton's Elton John concert
http://mediamatters.org/items/200803270011?f=h_latest
Summary: In a column about an Elton John concert on behalf of Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign, The Washington Times' John McCaslin questioned whether the concert violates federal election law and wrote that FEC spokesman Bob Biersack "said he doesn't know whether the Elton John performance would be considered unlawful by FEC standards." While McCaslin later updated his column, he did not note that, according to the Clinton campaign, Biersack said: "I did not intend to convey ... that there is anything unlawful" about the concert. McCaslin also falsely asserted that a 1981 FEC advisory opinion "prohibited a foreign national artist from donating his services in connection with fundraising for a U.S. Senate campaign."
In his March 27 "Inside the Beltway" column, The Washington Times' John McCaslin asked: "Are Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Elton John breaking U.S. laws by allowing the British pop singer, a foreign national, to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign by performing a concert on her behalf?" He continued: "That's the question Inside the Beltway put to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) yesterday, which does not rule out the possibility." McCaslin noted that, according to the FEC, federal election law bans foreign nationals from "contributing, donating or spending" funds in connection with a campaign "directly or indirectly." Later in the column, McCaslin wrote that FEC spokesman Bob Biersack "said he doesn't know whether the Elton John performance would be considered unlawful by FEC standards." But the Clinton campaign's Fact Hub website quotes Biersack as saying: "I did not intend to convey in my conversation with the Washington Times reporter that there is anything unlawful about Elton John performing in a concert to raise money for a US presidential candidate. The Advisory Opinion 2004-26 is clear in the circumstances of the request that foreign nationals may volunteer and may even solicit contributions from non-foreign nationals, provided they are not soliciting other foreign nationals."
McCaslin has since updated his column by noting that the Clinton campaign "says 'it has complied with the law' surrounding a fundraising concert that Elton John is scheduled to perform," and also adding, "Today, however, Mr. Biersack called attention to an FEC opinion from 2004 (No. 2004-26) that dealt with a Guatemalan national who became engaged to a U.S. congressman and sought guidance on volunteering for his election campaign." However, even in his update, McCaslin did not note that, according to The Fact Hub, Biersack also said: "I did not intend to convey ... that there is anything unlawful" about the Elton John performance.
Additionally, in the update, McCaslin purported to contrast the 2004 opinion that Biersack reportedly cited with a 1981 FEC opinion, falsely asserting that the 1981 opinion "prohibited a foreign national artist from donating his services in connection with fundraising for a U.S. Senate campaign." In fact, the 1981 opinion prohibited a foreign national from donating something tangible -- a painting that person created -- to a campaign; it did not prohibit donating a service alone, as Elton John would be providing Clinton's presidential campaign.
From McCaslin's updated column:
"There are a series of advisory opinions issued over the years surrounding situations kind of like this, but not exactly like this," FEC spokesman Bob Biersack told Inside the Beltway earlier. "That's the problem with an advisory opinion -- they're not the same, but they do provide some sense of where the commission stands."
Today, however, Mr. Biersack called attention to an FEC opinion from 2004 (No. 2004-26) that dealt with a Guatemalan national who became engaged to a U.S. congressman and sought guidance on volunteering for his election campaign.
In that specific case, the FEC ruled that Zury Rios Sosa could be involved in Florida Rep. Jerry Weller's campaign, provided she not be compensated or else help manage or participate in decisions of his campaign committee.
By contrast, an earlier 1981 FEC decision prohibited a foreign national artist from donating his services in connection with fundraising for a U.S. Senate campaign.
The FEC stated in the 1981 opinion that then-Sen. Howard Metzenbaum's (D-OH) campaign could not accept the artwork from the foreign national because federal election law "prohibits any person who is a foreign national from making 'any contribution of money or other thing of value' in connection with any election to any political office. It is also unlawful for any person to solicit, accept, or receive any prohibited contribution from a foreign national." The opinion added: "Accordingly, the Commission concludes that a foreign national artist would be prohibited by 2 U.S.C. SS 441e from donating his uncompensated volunteer services to the Committee to create an original work of art for the Committee's use in fundraising." By contrast, as McCaslin noted in both his original column and his update, the FEC found, in a 1987 opinion, that a foreign national could "provide uncompensated volunteer services to a presidential campaign."
From McCaslin's original March 27 "Inside the Beltway" column:
Are Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Elton John breaking U.S. laws by allowing the British pop singer, a foreign national, to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign by performing a concert on her behalf?
That's the question Inside the Beltway put to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) yesterday, which does not rule out the possibility.
First, some background supplied by the FEC: The goal of the 1966 Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was to "minimize foreign intervention" in U.S. elections by establishing a series of limitations on foreign nationals. In 1974, the prohibition was incorporated into the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), giving the FEC jurisdiction over its enforcement and interpretation.
According to the FEC, FECA "prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment."
The question now is whether Elton John is contributing "indirectly" to Mrs. Clinton's campaign and whether the candidate herself has sought to "solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations" from a foreign national, which is unlawful.
That said, the act does provide a volunteer "exemption" as long as the foreign national performing a service is not compensated by anyone. But this exemption gets tricky and might not apply to Elton John.
Consider that in a 1987 advisory opinion, the commission allowed a foreign national student to provide uncompensated volunteer services to a presidential campaign. By contrast, a 1981 FEC decision prohibited a foreign national artist from donating his services in connection with fundraising for a U.S. Senate campaign.
"There are a series of advisory opinions issued over the years surrounding situations kind of like this, but not exactly like this," FEC spokesman Bob Biersack told Inside the Beltway yesterday. "That's the problem with an advisory opinion -- they're not the same, but they do provide some sense of where the commission stands."
Mr. Biersack said he doesn't know whether the Elton John performance would be considered unlawful by FEC standards. As of yesterday, only $1,000 and $2,300 seats remained for sale for the concert, scheduled for April 9 at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
A complaint would have to be filed with the FEC before the commission could issue an advisory opinion, and even then it would remain confidential until completed, Mr. Biersack said.
That said, this column is unable to determine whether a complaint already has been filed, perhaps by the Barack Obama campaign.
From McCaslin's updated column:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign says it "has complied with the law" surrounding a fundraising concert that Elton John is scheduled to perform on April 9 in New York City on behalf of the Democratic presidential candidate.
The statement came after Inside the Beltway earlier today questioned whether the New York senator and the British pop music star were violating the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), which seeks to "minimize foreign intervention" in U.S. elections by establishing a series of limitations on foreign nationals.
The FECA "prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment."
"There are a series of advisory opinions issued over the years surrounding situations kind of like this, but not exactly like this," FEC spokesman Bob Biersack told Inside the Beltway earlier. "That's the problem with an advisory opinion -- they're not the same, but they do provide some sense of where the commission stands."
Today, however, Mr. Biersack called attention to an FEC opinion from 2004 (No. 2004-26) that dealt with a Guatemalan national who became engaged to a U.S. congressman and sought guidance on volunteering for his election campaign.
In that specific case, the FEC ruled that Zury Rios Sosa could be involved in Florida Rep. Jerry Weller's campaign, provided she not be compensated or else help manage or participate in decisions of his campaign committee.
By contrast, an earlier 1981 FEC decision prohibited a foreign national artist from donating his services in connection with fundraising for a U.S. Senate campaign.
"Since 1987, the FEC has consistently held that foreign nationals may volunteer their time for campaigns on an uncompensated basis," Mrs. Clinton's campaign said in its statement. "Elton John is simply volunteering his uncompensated time to appear at the concert."
Mr. Biersack said a complaint would have to be filed with the FEC before the commission could issue an advisory opinion on the Elton John concert, and even then it would remain confidential until completed.

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
March 27, 2008 12:47 PM
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/03/i-guess-thats-w.html
The Washington Times this morning asked if Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Elton John, who is set to perform at an April 9 fundraiser for her at Radio City Music Hall in New York, would be breaking any laws since John, a British foreign national, is in a way raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for her campaign.
The Federal Election Campaign Act "prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment."
The questions: was John contributing "indirectly" to Clinton's campaign? Was Clinton soliciting contributions or donations from John?
The answers, apparently: No and no.
On its website the Clinton campaign says that since 1987, the Federal Elections Commission "has consistently held that foreign nationals may volunteer their time for campaigns on an uncompensated basis. Elton John is simply volunteering his uncompensated time to appear at the concert. This appearance is consistent with past FEC rulings."
The campaign also quotes FEC spokesman Bob Biersack saying, "I did not intend to convey in my conversation with the Washington Times reporter that there is anything unlawful about Elton John performing in a concert to raise money for a U.S. presidential candidate. The Advisory Opinion 2004-26 is clear in the circumstances of the request that foreign nationals may volunteer and may even solicit contributions from non-foreign nationals, provided they are not soliciting other foreign nationals."

Dave Shore ponders whether or not K-W has finally made it on the map
When I heard last month that the legendary Sir Elton John would be gracing the stage of the Kitchener Auditorium, I nearly fell off my chair. Not because I'm a particularly big Rocket Man fan, but simply because I was so surprised that such a big-name act would come to Kitchener.
And then, as if one world-class concert wasn't enough, announcements of famous performers coming to Kitchener continued to flow in. First, famed folk singer Gordon Lightfoot has announced he will play the Centre in the Square in May, and then came the news that Canadian icon Leonard Cohen will be dropping by K-W in early June.
Maybe I just haven't lived in the area long enough, but when did Kitchener-Waterloo become such a musical epicentre?
Now, don't get me wrong, I've been thoroughly impressed by the amount of culture Laurier's surrounding twin city has to offer. Kitchener-Waterloo sports a symphony, an opera, multiple theatres, an impressive art gallery and a children's museum. And that's not to mention the Princess Cinemas, without question my favourite place in the whole city.
K-W has always been a great place for culture and the celebration of the arts. After all, with two universities, a highly educated public and some of the most innovative businesses in the world, it's no wonder that the city we live in has a robust cultural scene.
However, the first half of 2008 stands out as a high point in K-W's artistic history. Having three colossal musical acts come to town in such close succession is something that, to my knowledge at least, hasn't happened in a very long time.
What is even more exciting, though, is the sheer unexpectedness of both the John and Cohen shows. Sir Elton came to Kitchener seemingly on a whim, having never been here before. An article in The Record reported that John enjoys playing in cities he's never visited before.
Cohen, it seemed, might not have ever toured again. He is coming out of his stay in a Zen Buddhist settlement to earn some money after his long-time money manager lost a great deal of his savings. He chose Kitchener as one of the destinations for his comeback tour.
All of these events happening in a five-month span prompts the question: Is K-W finally getting on the map?
There's certainly some other evidence to support the idea. Late in '07, sports pages around the continent were filled with speculation that an NHL team might come to Kitchener. And just this past summer, Waterloo earned the title of the world's most intelligent city.
With the international attention K-W has been receiving, it does seem hopeful that the city's gaining some prominence.
It's something that I really want to believe, but I don't entirely. The reason is that, despite having a large number of big events taking place either recently or very soon, none of them are relatively new acts.
Cohen, John and Lightfoot are all big acts of the '60s, '70s and '80s. Today, they resonate with a more mature crowd, being decades past their prime.
There's nothing wrong with this; it's still extremely exciting that these people have decided to play in Kitchener. But where are the big names of our generation? When will U2 come to Kitchener? What about Kanye?
Radiohead, for example, is coming to Canada this summer. They'll be playing in Montreal and Toronto – but despite being within an hour's drive, they won't be making the trip to K-W.
Rather than Kitchener-Waterloo becoming a place where things are happening, it is becoming a place where people that have already happened can come to make a buck.
It's definitely not the worst of situations. But in a city on the frontline of innovation in business and academics, it would be delightful to see that recognized by the arts.
Still, seeing people with such international reputations deciding to play in K-W is a great first step. With any luck, we just may see this culturally rich city finally get the recognition, and entertainment, it deserves.

Sir Elton John im Schnee
28.März 2008
Sir Elton John sorgt am 3. Mai 2008 beim Top of the Mountain Concert auf der Idalp für die richtige Stimmung, um den Saisonabschluss gebührend zu feiern.
http://www.link-gr.ch/news/20080328/sir-elton-john-im-schnee/
In diesem Jahr krönt Sir Elton John die Skisaison in der Silvretta Arena Samnaun/Ischgl. Die Legende des Pop kommt zum Top of the Mountain Concert 2008 auf die Idalp. Mit diesem Giganten fing alles an: 1995 spielte Elton John beim ersten Top of the Mountain Concert und begründete damit ein Rock-Event, das heute legendär ist. Schliesslich traten Superstars wie Tina Turner, Rod Stewart oder Sting in die Fussstapfen von Elton John. In diesem Jahr feiert der Engländer nun sein 'Comeback' in der Silvretta Arena Samnaun/Ischgl und ist damit auch der erste Künstler, der zum zweiten Mal auf der Open Air Bühne in über 2.300 Metern Höhe stehen wird. Schon vor 13 Jahren war er begeistert von der einmaligen Konzert-Atmosphäre mitten im Skigebiet. Zum Abschluss der Wintersaison 2007/2008 am 3. Mai erwarten die Veranstalter über 20.000 Fans, wenn sich Sir Elton John um 13 Uhr auf der Idalp die Ehre gibt. Der Eintritt für das Ereignis der Superlative ist mit gültiger Liftkarte kostenlos.
Mit 235 Pistenkilometern und modernsten Bergbahnen wird auch das Skifahren gross geschrieben. Der krönende Abschluss in diesem Jahr beendet Elton John - mit 550 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern einer der erfolgreichsten Sänger und Songwriter überhaupt - die Saison in der Silvretta Arena Samnaun/Ischgl. Neben unzähligen Nr.1-Hits und Platinalben, brachte seine Musik ihm auch einen Oscar ein: für die Filmmusik von Walt Disneys 'König der Löwen'. Mit seinem 2006 erschienenen Album 'The Captain and the Kid' veröffentlichte der Sänger und Pianist sein mittlerweile 44.(!) Album, pünktlich zu seinem 60. Geburtstag brachte er 2007 das Best-of-Album 'The Rocket Man' heraus. Die Mischung aus schnellen Stücken wie 'Crocodile Rock' Hits oder 'I'm Still Standing' und langsamen, gefühlvollen Songs wie 'Candle in the Wind' wird auch das Top of the Mountain Concert dieses begnadeten Live-Musikers einzigartig machen.

USA 2008/ SHOW ELTON JOHN RACCOLTA FONDI, CLINTON: TUTTO REGOLARE
http://notizie.alice.it/notizie/esteri/2008/03_marzo/27/usa_2008_show_elton_john_raccolta_fondi_clinton_tutto_regolare,14397050.html
Polemiche per possibile violazione legge su raccolta fondi
postato 1 giorno fa da APCOMNew York, 27 mar. (Apcom) - Tutto è stato organizzato nel rispetto della legge. Così lo staff della senatrice di New York Hillary Clinton ha liquidato le polemiche sull'evento di raccolta fondi previsto per il prossimo 9 aprile a New York e al quale parteciperà il cantante Elton John, acceso sostenitore dell'ex first lady.
Con una nota riportata dal Washington Times i collaboratori della senatrice, in corsa per la nomination democratica per la Casa Bianca, hanno respinto le accuse arrivate da più parti secondo cui Clinton avrebbe violato il Federal Election Campaign Act (la legge che regolamenta la raccolta fondi per le campagne elettorali federali). Il Feca prevede infatti che siano "ridotti al minimo gli interventi stranieri" durante le elezioni americane.
Nei giorni scorsi Clinton aveva inviato ai propri sostenitori un'e-mail dal titolo "You, me and Elton John" (voi, io e Elton John), appunto per promuovere l'evento per la raccolta fondi durante il quale il cantante dovrebbe tenere un concerto e quindi partecipare a un evento con i sostenitori di Clinton.
