The decision pertains to ballot question committees in Maine and represents a second defeat for the National Organization for Marriage, which previously lost a challenge to the state's political action committee laws and laws governing independent expenditures and advertising attribution and disclaimers.The latest appeal focused on part of the law that says groups that raise or spend more than $5,000 to influence elections must register and disclose their donors.
The NOM, which says it was founded in 2007 in response to the "growing need for an organized opposition to same-sex marriage in state legislatures," donated $1.9 million to a political action committee that helped repeal Maine's same-sex marriage law. It said it believes that releasing the donor list would stymie free speech.Oh please, they are afraid we will learn who their true donors are. It's only a matter of time, NOM.

Poor poor NOM.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when haters get called out.
I don't really understand this. Fine, they can question the legality of the law - GOING FORWARD - but they knew the law going into it and that should be it.
ReplyDeleteNot only does it behoove them to conceal their donors; it also benefits their donors to remain closeted about their donations and support. Once it becomes public, it'll be interesting to see who wants to be identified as being bigoted and homophobic.
