JS Online:Green plans appeal
they're at it again or more crooked Republicans
Mark Green A Republican running for Governor in the ?State of Wisconsin illegally transferred $467,844 in out of state federal PAC funds into his state campaign fund. He plans to appeal the decision to the states Supreme Court. Sounds like the same underhanded tactics Shrub has been using to circumvent the legal restrictions set in place to curb unethical practices.
As many should know Green is one of the far rights extremist candidates in Wisconsin upcoming November elections. Firmly in bed with the Religious Right, he plans to further curb our civil rights if and when he is elected. He is against Stem Cell research and the Constitutional amendment to restrict Gay marriage or any form of partnership agreement currently recognized in our state. Not only is it anti-religious but it is mean spirited.
It is my sincere hope that the courts uphold their decision and force Mr Green to divest the illegally transferred out of state federal campaign funds.
Personally I think that no candidate should be allowed to accept out of state funds for use in political campaigns. Not only that, I think it should be illegal for any out of state group be allowed to participate or be used in any manner in political campaigns. These companies or groups should be required to be registered in Wisconsin and abide by the laws governing political PAC's rules and regulations. We need a even playing field the funds be restricted to a certain amount (cap if you will) and then be forced to work within these caps. That would make the playing field more even for each candidate. They would then be forced to run on their reputation, not by how much money they can accumulate.
That would make come very interesting elections, don't you think?
