Mitt for Brains Romney Looks to American Expatriates for Big Campaign Dollars

Mitt for Brains Romney will be headed across the pond next month in hopes of raising some campaign cash. He will travel to London where he hopes some American expatriate bankers dig deep into their pockets.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney takes his fund-raising machine to London next month, holding a reception aimed at wealthy American expatriates working at banks and hedge funds.

A handful of London fund-raisers were held during the 2008 presidential election cycle, but Romney's event, scheduled for July 6, will be the earliest ever of its kind.

The reception will be held at Dartmouth House, an opulent mansion in the heart of Mayfair that is often used for weddings and conferences.

The suggested contribution to the "Romney for President" campaign is $2,500, according to an invitation seen by Reuters. Under U.S. law, only American citizens and green card holders can contribute.
