Prop 8 Is Still In The News

The inauguration is covering up almost all other news, but California's Proposition 8 is still making some waves. The following is from The Bay Area Reporter...

Backers of Proposition 8 have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to avoid disclosing information about their donors, charging that people who contributed to the Yes on 8 campaign have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, and even death threats.

ProtectMarriage.com – Yes on 8 and the National Organization for Marriage, California filed the complaint Thursday, January 8, in federal district court in Sacramento.

The complaint calls California's Political Reform Act of 1974 "unconstitutional" because, among other things their right "to exercise their First Amendment rights free from threats, harassment, and reprisals outweigh the state's interest in compelled disclosure."
