A couple more posters got zotted today.
Guess we need another reminder:
If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-constitution and you'll get the zot from FR. Homosexuals already have the same "rights" as everyone else. God did not grant and the constitution does not guarantee homosexuals any special rights. In fact, the homosexual agenda is a full frontal attack on OUR God-given, constitutionally protected rights to free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, Life, Family, Marriage, Pursuit of Happiness, etc.
I don't want it on FR and won't have it on FR.
Like abortion, if you support the homosexual agenda on FR, your account here will be zotted!
Don't like it? Tough frickin Shinola! Get the hell OFF this conservative site!!
:-P
Will military Chaplains suffer under censorship (Heard many Biblical sermons on sodomy/fornication on military bases)?
Should the tax payer cough up the $$$ for benefits to the “partners” of sodomites?
Should HIV infected active duty members be discharged (They are permitted to deploy overseas but retained)?
Just the tip of the iceberg and not as simplistic or FISCALLY (Ron Paul, the shortsighted fiscal hypocrite) sound as you might think.
MIL? MIL?
Damn, the very thought of that would drive some to, well, (shudder), something bad.

"SSFs and Nonconnected PACs"
http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/ssfvnonconnected.shtml
- - - -
Note: Portions of this publication may be affected by the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC. Essentially, the Court's ruling permits corporations and labor organizations to use treasury funds to make independent expenditures in connection with federal elections and to fund electioneering communications. The ruling did not affect the ban on corporate or union contributions or the reporting requirements for independent expenditures and electioneering communications. The Commission is studying the Court's opinion and will provide additional guidance as soon as possible.
The press and public refer to all nonparty, noncandidate committees as PACs or political action committees. However, the Act and Commission Regulations distinguish between two types of PACs: separate segregated funds and nonconnected political committees (or nonconnected PACs). The article below discusses some of the major differences between these two types of political committees.
The Act prohibits corporations (profit or nonprofit), labor organizations and incorporated membership organizations from making direct contributions or expenditures in connection with federal elections. 2 U.S.C. §44lb. These organizations may, however, sponsor a separate segregated fund (SSF), popularly called a PAC, which collects contributions from a limited class of individuals and uses this money to make contributions and expenditures to influence federal elections. 11 CFR 100.6. As the sponsor of the SSF (i.e., its "connected organization"), the corporation, labor organization or incorporated membership organization may absorb all the costs of establishing and operating the SSF and soliciting contributions to it. These administrative expenses are fully exempted from the Act’s definitions of "contribution" and "expenditure." 11 CFR 114.1(a)(2)(iii).
By contrast, a nonconnected political committee, another type of PAC, is financially independent. This means that the nonconnected political committee must pay for its own administrative expenses, using the contributions it raises. Although an organization may spend funds to establish or support a nonconnected PAC, these expenditures are considered contributions to the PAC and are subject to the dollar limits and other requirements of the Act.
Yes. An SSF is not required to report any fundraising or administrative expenses that are paid for by its sponsoring organization. (The SSF must, however, report these expenses if it pays for them.) On the other hand, a nonconnected PAC must report all its operating and solicitation expenses.
Yes. SSFs may solicit only certain groups of individuals specifically identified in the Act and Commission Regulations, while nonconnected PACs may solicit contributions from the general public. For example, a corporation with capital stock and its SSF may solicit only the corporation’s stockholders, executive and administrative personnel and the families of both groups. 11 CFR 114.5(g)(1). A labor union and its SSF may solicit only union members and their families. 11 CFR 114.5(g)(2). Twice a year, SSFs and their sponsoring organizations may expand their solicitations to include certain individuals outside the normal restrictions; the expanded groups are also specifically limited by the law. 11 CFR 114.6.
Yes. For example, under Commission Regulations, SSFs must inform their solicitees of the political purpose of the SSF and of the individual’s right to refuse to contribute without reprisal. SSFs are specifically prohibited from using threats of physical force, job discrimination or financial reprisal when soliciting contributions. Moreover, if the SSF uses a guideline in soliciting contributions, the solicitees must be informed that they are free to contribute more or les than the amount stated. In addition, SSFs may not accept as contributions any dues or fees obtained as a condition of membership or employment. 11 CFR 114.5(a).
Nonconnected political committees are not subject to these solicitation restrictions. One the other hand, solicitations by nonconnected PACs that are made through public political advertising must include an authorization notice indicating who paid for and authorized the solicitation. This type of notice is not required on SSF solicitations. 11 CFR 110.11(a)(3).
Yes. An SSF must register within 10 days of its establishment by its sponsoring organization. 11 CFR 102.1(c). An nonconnected PAC, however, must register as a political committee within 10 days after it has received contributions or made expenditures aggregating in excess of $1,000. 11 CFR 102.1(d).
Yes. The Act and Commission Regulations require an SSF to include the name of its sponsoring organization in its official title. 2 U.S.C. §432(e)(5); 11 CFR 102.14(c). The Act places no such restriction on the title that an nonconnected PAC uses. Neither committee, however, may include the name of a candidate in its title.
Yes. Provided the SSF or the nonconnected PAC has qualified as a multicandidate committee by having:
Most of the basic requirements of the Act and Regulations are the same for SSFs and nonconnected political committees. For example, the prohibitions and limits on contributions apply equally to both SSFs and nonconnected PACs. In addition, both types of committees must fulfill the same basic recordkeeping and reporting requirements, although an SSF does not have to report operating expenses paid for by its sponsoring organization (see above). Finally, SSFs and nonconnected PACs may support candidates in the same ways, that is, by making monetary and in-kind contributions to candidates, by contributing to their political parties and by making independent expenditures to support or oppose candidates.

I thought it was the APA...I shouldn’t have been so lazy when I could have looked it up myself. Thanks!
Well, if you don’t like our stand against galloping Marxist homosexualism, then you can join those who are taking a freaking gay pride hike. And you can take Benedict Arnold Paul with you.
You wrote: I believe that this repeal is wrong and may well mean the beginning of the end for our country as we and our forefathers have known it.
I fundamentally agree.
Dang, big guy. I take a break to sleep and do some research and log in to find all hell breakin’ loose. Right on with ZOT’n those idiots into the vapors!
You appear clueless about the issue let alone about its priority.
I suggest you part the leftist rainbow curtain you are enamored with and take a peek in the leftist window. The issue entails legalizing homosexual sex in the military -that is all it entails. Even heterosexual people will now legally be able to engage in homosexual sex. We see here homosexual sex justice -a victory for orifice diversity that strike a blow directly at the very foundation of authentic law and true justice -the natural law, that which is unalienable endowed by the Creator.
How exactly does homosexual sex contribute anything of value to the military mission? At a minimum any law that counters natural law by default will create injustice.
The very foundation of this nation is under assault and you wish to balance the checkbook?
What is being debated is the idea that a destructive and deadly human desire, or compulsion should be taught to children as normal and natural. If society should celebrate it, and institutions should intimidate (with speech codes) and punish those who speak of it negatively (with hate crime laws), as they do to preachers in Canada for example.
And if our Government should sanction this deadly desire thru legal and fiscal means.
I have bookmarked the link recommended by Howard Jarvis, which I think is particularly useful given that FR is located in Fresno, CA.
I've also read various sites dealing with the formation of Political Action Committees, and it seems simple enough, once the officers and structure are determined.
*PLACEMARK*
It’s unleashed nothing but evil.
That's exactly what happened. No science, just politics. Homosexuality is a paraphilic disorder whether it is declassified or not.
What’s the status? I saw your ping list. Did we hand out assignments (action items?) I’m trying to catch up on the thread now.
I’m here for support to get them started for whoever is going to run this thing. I’ve read some of it. Write your summary report. I’ll add my 2 cents as things go along...gotta print the stuff out than read it online.
If you don’t think this issue is important then go the hell somewhere else. Like many liberals you obviously do not care if our military is weakened and the moral fabric of our society destroyed.
Math is easy..let Onyx be Treasurer. :-0 I think this may come with a salary. I'll bet you can count that. Heehee.

I would never dishonour anyone who gave his life for our country, and I find that comment to be offensive.
