NOM Loses Another Court Battle in Maine

[William769]

The antigay National Organization for Marriage cannot escape disclosure of its financial contributions to the effort to end marriage equality in Maine, according to a federal appeals court in Augusta.

The latest decision upholds a ruling last month from a federal appeals court in Boston that turned down NOM's request to circumvent Maine's political action committee disclosure laws. The ruling effectively upheld "Maine's law requiring disclosure of independent expenditures in candidate elections," reports the Associated Press.

1. Who are these people who hate transparency?

You must really have faith in your cause if you think being open and honest about it is a bad thing.

2. Probably the same people behind prop 8 that don't want the hearing televised.

Kind of reminds me of the people that hide behind the white hooded sheets.

3. Disclosure is balm to many ills. (nt)
