I can't believe these organizations' arrogance in just ignoring or evading the disclosure laws.

Perhaps the better question is why don't we have robust disclosure laws that mandate transparency and prevent this kind of political money laundering?

My thoughts? It's a mix of in-kind donations (staff time is expensive) and simple money-laundering for another group (like NOM, the Mormon Church, &c).

History will judge Mr. Aho harshly, and rightfully so.

I wonder if Mr A-hole…ooops I mean Aho realizes that "his marriage" will remain intact (unless he knows something his wife doesn't) and will in no way be affected, altered or redefined by allowing others the same right to marry that he so freely enjoys? I also wonder if he's be so willing to let others vote to determine the "validity" of his marriage….I think not.

Comment on Legislators propose repeal of anti-gay marriage amendment by Steven John

I hope it is removed from the ballot. We don't need a "conversation". The insinuation alone is defamation and I believe can do more harm than good. It's a step backwards and a lose/lose situation for our character as Minnesotans and/or as LGBT people. If popular vote on individual issues is how we are going to govern ourselves then we don't need leaders at all. I know people would like to see this question stay on the ballot so we can defeat it and show the world Minnesota is truly a decent place. But it would be safer without the fuss and just a quiet, long overdue federal law ensuring equality be made for us across all the states not just here and there. The same across the board right to housing and employment would be nice too.

never thought I'd say this, but I'm with Yuri.. She makes it sound like the Minnesota Constitution was written at the beginning of time.
