If these guys could get all those petition signers to contribute they wouldn't be trying to circumvent the law. But they can't, so now they need the big bucks from the out-of-state haters. Pathetic, sad and revolting.

It's amazing what happens when those who wear white hoods and sheets have to face the possibility of their membership in a certain fraternal organization being exposed to the light of day ...

Danger - in recent years Federal Courts have not restricted money from flowing into campaigns - and Washington law seems complicated and old fashioned in the modern money machine political wars.

Politcal money = political speech seems to be the refrain.

Shit.

Remember to VOTE.

So now they want a special exemption to campaign contribution rules too? What the fuck is up with these people? I just...their whole schtick about gay equality being "special rights", then so flagrantly trying to get special exemptions and treatment for themselves...my head wants to explode.

And what's up with Lynnwood? First there was that Watchment on the Walls event, then the reject R-71 protest, now this group that's working out of there...was Lynnwood declared Bigot Central and I just never got the memo?

Also, the 9th Circuit (finally) released their opinion on the preliminary injunction appeal.

They held that the injunction shouldn't have been granted (and the names should be released) because the district court shouldn't have used strict scrutiny. Signing a petition is not anonymous political speech and the Public Records Act is only incidentally limits speech and the limitations further a legitimate government purpose.

Shorter Fundies: "It's not a 'special right' when we want it. It's a 'God-given right'."

We better all pony up. If you want to defeat these fuckers, pay-up -- dig deep. Contribute to approve 71. If you're sitting on a wad of cash get ready to give.

Hernandez, Lynnwood and above is worse than the deep south -- the homophobia and racism up there is unbelievable.

Man, the wool really got pulled over the American people's eyes when it was decided money equaled speech. If you want to speak loudly with money, then we should be able to tell openly where the noise is coming from.

Time to allow us to dissolve corporations for moral terpitude.

If we cannot get the names of R-71 signers so we can politely confront them, and burn their houses down in the middle of the night, can we just burn down the entirety of Lynnwood?

Gosh, I wonder who might want to give a large sum of money to the defeat Referendum 71 campaign?

This same thing happened here in Cali after Prop 8 was passed. Pre-election, they were threatening everyone that if they donated money to "No on Prop 8", they would expose them for the homo-loving freaks they are. Once Prop 8, and our side went, "Ok, we're now going to expose you for the bigoted assholes you are", and released the names of their contributors, they started screaming about discrimination and a need for campaign reform. Assholes.

@4 Hey, not everyone in Lynnwood or Snohomish County is a bigot -- unfortunately, though, the minority here tends to be the loudest.

Not Mormons - they on the sideline in this one.

Watch for evangelicals and Catholics - national right wing money. Election is close, they are going for the win.

Sorry to tell you dears, MAKE SURE YOU FUCKING VOTE AND ALL YOUR FUCKING FRIENDS AND FUCLING FAMILY MEMBERS VOTE - YEAH, FUCKING VOTE.

What's really amazing is that gay lobby groups think that they are the only ones who have a right to solicit limitless campaign contributions, and that they are the only ones with a right to call on the people to take political action in a pressing issue.

When people of faith and traditional marriage people do it they have to be "ridiculous..." or "assholes")

But when some gay lobby groups openly ask routinely for financial support form wherever they can get it and instigate with persistent demands veiled as "disclosure" and make their intentions clear by phoning signers and confronting them, like Dom has done, when they openly state that they will publish the names and addresses on billboards, then its "equality" even when that "equality" not only infringes on the rights of others but causing discomfort or distress to those who become their targets.

16: Yes, raising tons of money to take people's rights away DOES make you an asshole. How about raising money to help feed the homeless or something?
19
@16 Your side had just as much time to raise large contributions as the good guys. You just couldn't do it because Gary Randall and Larry Stickney were pocketing all the cash. No one wants to give to wife beaters and tax evaders. Not even homophobes.

Just how large are the donations to this campaign that they must circumvent these contribution laws? It seems ridiculous to donate such a large amount of money to any campaign, much less one that takes away civil rights.

Please wait...
