Maines highest court on Tuesday rejected a national anti-gay marriage groups latest bid to shield the identities of the donors who contributed to its effort to defeat the states gay marriage law in 2009.
The National Organization for Marriage had sought permission to delay submitting a campaign finance report that the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices ordered it to file last year when it fined the group $50,250 for its involvement in overturning the law supporting same-sex marriage six years ago.
But the Maine Supreme Judicial Court said Tuesday that NOM cant put off filing the report and revealing its donor list until after the court considers the groups challenge of the commissions ruling because the justices said its unlikely that the Washington D.C.-based organization will win its appeal.
Maine Attorney General Janet Mills praised the courts decision, saying that Maine residents deserve to know whos paying to influence their elections.

When do the fags have to disclose their donors?
The Human Rights Campaign is not helping tortured and falsely imprisoned people in third world countries.
Hillary Clinton leads the way.
I am sorry we have no knowledge of any donors and our computer broke so we threw it away.
I’m not sad that there are people pushing this country down the toilet.
I’m sad that no one anywhere even seems the slightest bit interested in stopping the people who are pushing the country down the toilet.
The National Organization for Marriage has my permission to tell Maine that I donated all of it.
They are trying to make these people targets
Planned Parenthood does not have to disclose donors.
donor list? sure.
1. harry reid
2. hillary clinton
3. nancy pelosi
4. barry soetoro
etc
We here in FR actually SEE situations and people and we discuss and argue the matter(s) usually until a concensus develops hoping someone will acknowledge our brilliance and correct an incorrect situation
I'm afraid America is going to be forced to re-instate the Minutemen in thought and in deed.
“Some of the donor names were on the servers with Lois Lerner’s emails, some were with Hillary’s. We have no idea how to get them now.”/s
Unconstitutional. This was settled during the first Clinton term when his thugs tried the same thing
Well, we would, your honor, but our hard drives crashed.
Faggots did the same thing to California anti-gay marriage supporters. Harassed the crap out of them. The old Saul Alinsky gambit.
Can’t the case where the black rights groups refused to hand over THEIR membership lists in the 1950s be cited?
the courts have long ago adopted the policy of deciding who will be a winner or loser based on the personal politics of the judges.
Judges are no longer independent but beholding to their political patrons.
Don’t have to go back that far
Sounds like time for a strategic NOM server crash.
I mean it worked so far for Hilary, hasn’t it?
(Okay, maybe that’s a bad example.)
