This sacrosanct right has now been abandoned for the purpose of political intimidation. The New Mexico State Legislature wants to pass a law making it necessary to report contributions to nonprofits thus intimidating conservative donors.
Senate Bill 15 CAMPAIGN FINANCE REQUIREMENTS (Peter Wirth D-Santa Fe) will result in the reporting of contributors to a nonprofits when the nonprofit publishes materials naming candidates, even nonpartisan voter guides.
The names and addresses of those making donations to nonprofits supporting Californian’s Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment making marriage between one man and one woman, were published.
THOSE LISTED RECEIVED DEATH THREATS AND WERE HARASSED.
SOME LOST THEIR JOBS. BUSINESSES WERE PICKETED.
CHURCHES WERE VANDALIZED.
A map of those contributing to the support of Proposition 8 called “Eight Map” was published on the Internet making each one of those persons vulnerable to attack. (SEE https://www.eightmaps.com/)
