CA should have a law PROHIBITING out-of-state money for propositions

[Nikki Stone1]

If the conservatives want to "let the states decide" important issues like abortion, gay marriage, etc., then outside money from the other 49 states or anywhere else should not be allowed. This includes the casino money from Nevada from casinos trying to force their way into California. NO OUT-OF-STATE money.

6. Such laws have been passed in various states

but have been ruled unconstitutional by the courts.

5. and any church group found sending money in should AUTOMATICLY

Lose their tax exempt status. GONE -- no right to question.

[cloudythescribbler]

7. 'No right to question?' -- What about due process of law?

I realize that "rights" can indeed be used by culprits, especially corporate ones, in manipulative ways, but surely SOME kind of process should exist, no?

8. Every state should.

When AL was trying to legalize a lottery, the contributors were from GA, TN & MS who all have lotteries & would miss the revenue. Now, we have Riley and Seigleman went to jail.

Sigh.

9. True. didn't we have to swear we were not foreigners in order

to give to Obama's campaign?

It makes sense.

[dysfunctional press]

10. yeah...because, that would be so easy to enforce and all...

for instance- an out-of-state person or group could make a donation to their favorite california church or charity, who could then use what would then be THEIR money as they saw fit.

[mackerel]

11. Execellent point.

[immoderate]

12. What if a prop is for extending rights?

Goes both ways y'know.

13. maybe it should be a federal law

we had some out of town outfit come to write a decieving proposal concerning gay marriage here in Michigan during the 2004 election.
NO-out of state money is a good proposal. I wonder though, how would it affect candidates?

[lies and propaganda]

14. not to mention that the money came from EVERY Moromon.

because of their ridiculous tithe, each and every Mormon, even child, just donated money for hate,. Globally.

[secondwind]

15. heck yes! maybe Mitt Romney is the anonymous million-dollar donor !!!

[tammywammy]

16. What about people that were out of state donating to groups against Prop 8?

[flvegan]

17. Impossible to enforce.
