NOM contributed $1.9 Million to Maine's Yes on 1 Campaign

Still refuses to release names of contributors

(AUGUSTA, ME) -- In disregard to state election law, the Washington, DC based National Organization for Marriage (NOM) filed its final campaign report this week on Question 1 in Maine, and refused to provide any of its donor's names despite an order to do so by both a Federal Judge and Maine's Attorney General.

Maine election law requires that all organizations raising over $5,000 file as a Political Action Committee (PAC) and report all contributor's names who gave more than $100.

"I have never seen arrogance that even comes close to theirs," said Fred Karger, founder of Californians Against Hate. "NOM is currently under investigation in California and Maine. They do not adhere to state election laws and when they get caught, they sue the state saying that truth and transparency are apparently unconstitutional.

"NOM files its federally required IRS tax returns months or even years late or never at all. They are making a mockery of our election laws and are able to bully legislators, election officials, Governors and the voters. We need a Congressional Investigation of the National Organization for Marriage immediately."
