Are candidates allowed to take international donations?

[Killarney]

I'm constantly reading anti-Bush articles from UK papers, Australian papers, etc. So many people in other countries hate Bush and want him out of office so bad. Another 4 years of Bush does not only affect Americans.

So, my question is... are people from other countries allowed to donate to a candidate's campaign?

If so, I hope that whoever our candidate ends up being puts a big sticky on his website saying "send me $20 through PayPal to help get Bush out!"
