The so-called "Defense of Marriage Coalition' has been bitch slapped by The State of Oregon...

The Defense of Marriage Coalition has been fined $19,811 by the state Election Division for failing to report $58,000 in campaign donations by required deadlines.

The coalition successfully sponsored Measure 36, which amended the Oregon Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The fine is the largest since the Oregon Democratic Party was fined $20,000 in 2003, said Anne Martens, a spokeswoman for Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, who oversees state elections.

"It's a failure to follow the rules and would have been easily avoided had the treasurer paid attention to the reporting requirements," Martens said.

The Defense of Marriage Coalition will contest the fine before the Oregon Court of Appeals, said Kristian Roggendorf, an attorney representing the group.

Roggendorf said the coalition is protesting the inability to make corrections to campaign reports without incurring penalties.

"There's no dispute there were some errors on the reporting forms," Roggendorf said.

As the Willamette Week once said, "...combination of self-serving hypocrisy and exquisitely poor timing". I am going to keep this post extremely short. In fact I've said most of what I want to say already. This so-called lobbyist is a lying scam willing to stoop to the lowest of lows and personal attacks to perserve discrimination in the State of Oregon. No wonder she works for the Oregon Family Council - it all makes sense. Tootie, you are a pathetic individual.

Call me Tootie - let's grab a drink. I'd love to have a face to face with you.
