NOM loses the ability to Hide their Donors... Again


The Maine Supreme Judicial Court shot down NOM's appeal to hide their donors names from 2009.

And now they are in some hot ass mess:
The justices unanimously upheld a lower court’s ruling that the National Organization for Marriage and its allies cannot shield the names of donors from the state’s election oversight commission. 
In affirming an earlier an decision issued last June in Kennebec County by Superior Court Justice Michaela Murphy, justices on the state supreme court rejected NOM’s arguments that subpoenas issued by the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Elections Practices violate donors’ First Amendment rights and expose them to “threats, harassment and reprisal.” 
“Our review of the extensive record, the Superior Court’s well-reasoned opinion, and the detailed analysis of related issues by our federal court colleagues leads us to conclude that, on the facts of this case, the Commission did not err,” Chief Justice Leigh I. Saufley for the court wrote in the five-page opinion.
I can't wait to see those names!

You want Referendum 71 on the ballot? Fine, we will also have your names Posted Publicly!


They thought they could have it all.

Protect Marriage Washington wanted to keep the names of their haters a secret, but the Public Disclosure Commission said "oh no, joe" and reminded them that their names will be made public.

I mean, if you going to make a big deal and bring forth Referendum 71, we should know who you are, right?

Hey, like I said before... Stand by your word, cretins!

You can hate, but you can't hide.
