Maine Marriage Campaign Probe Gets OK

Full story: townhall.com

Maine's campaign oversight board overruled a staff recommendation Thursday and authorized an investigation into fundraising by groups supporting the campaign to repeal the state's gay marriage law in a Nov. 3 referendum. The Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices voted 3-2 after some members said there was sufficient evidence to warrant a closer look at finance reporting by the National Organization for Marriage, a major contributor to Stand for Marriage Maine.

Excellent! Now we can see how many non-profits (Roman Catholic Church) have contributed large sums of money. Now we go after their non exempt tax status!!

NOM attorney Barry Bostrom said the organization's policy is to collect donations not targeted for specific campaigns so donors will not have to fear business boycotts, property damage and other forms of harassment by same-sex marriage activists. Bostrom said NOM complies with state campaign financing laws in all states in which it's active.

-- Sorry but if you're going to donate to a cause then people should be allowed to know so we can boycott if we choose to do so. It's a sure sign you're on the the wrong side when you want to hide who you are.

The last thing that the powers that be at NOM want is for anyone to take too close of a look at their books. They haven't let anyone see their tax forms since the money started rolling in back in 2007, even though by law those forms are supposed to be available to the public. I'll bet they thought they had dodged a howitzer yesterday when the staff report came out saying that there wasn't enough evidence to warrant an investigation, it does my heart good to see them get shot down today with the commission voting to investigate anyways. The real shame is that its doubtful that the investigation will be concluded in time for the election to expose these people for the con artists they really are.

agreed. So much for "traditional family values".
And "great job" to The Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Leo

It's hard to pin down a certain person today because they're being so vague and dithery. Ask them a question and they'll vacillate or be unable to give you a straight answer. You might suspect them of deceitful goings on but it's far more likely that they're simply in a world of their own and can't keep their mind on anything for long. Don't worry, they'll soon be back on planet earth.
