Conservative think tank Americans for Prosperity (AFP), co-founded by principals of Koch Industries, sued in federal court to prevent ultra-liberal California Attorney General Kamala Harris from using her office to disclose the names and addresses of their 90,000 donors.
Harris may have a problem with AFP being a major force behind the Tea Party movement and its support of free markets, entrepreneurship, lower taxes, and limited government spending and regulation.
As a federally registered 501(c)(4), not-for-profit educational organization, Americans for Prosperity is allowed under federal law to raise and spend money educating the public regarding issues associated with political campaigns and elections, as long as the charitable organization does not spend money in support of a specific candidate. Contributions to a 501(c)(4)s are not deductible against income taxes and therefore federal rules allow donors names to be redacted from public disclosure.

These Marxists/Communists don't play by the rules; just like the IRS.

The game can be played both ways as a pair of NYT reporters learned after exposing the address of Darren Wilson.
