Arizona Democratic Party Asks Secretary of State to Remove No Labels Party Due to Supposed Campaign Finance Violation

On July 13, the Arizona Democratic Party filed a complaint with the Arizona Secretary of State, alleging that the Secretary of State should remove No Labels Party from the ballot because it has not disclosed is donors. See this story.

In 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, ruled in Unity ’08 v FEC that new parties need not disclose their donors if they still don’t have any candidates. The whole purpose of campaign finance disclosure laws is to reveal ties between individuals and donors. In the case of parties that have never had candidates or office-holders, this rationale does not apply.

The Arizona Democratic Party, by its new filing, seems to suggest that the party has little hope of winning its lawsuit to get the No Labels Party off the ballot on the grounds that its ten representatives submitted their declarations too early.

  1. HOW MANY DAILY COMMAND ORDERS FROM DEVIL CITY DNC/RNC TO PURGE ALL 3RD PARTIES AND INDEES OFF ALL BALLOTS ???

    BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY / POSSIBLE.

    IE D/R TYRANTS VS FREEDOM.

    SEE OLDE 4 JULY 1776 DOI.

  2. DISCLOSING DONORS = ONE MORE PURGE LIST

    SUBVERTING 1 AMDT EVEN MORE.

    HAVE GOVT TYRANTS DEMANDED A LIST OF BAN DONORS AND/OR POSTERS [[ YET ]] ???

  3. The more government controls, the less anything outside the duopoly can be tolerated. National level and above increasingly monopolizing politics/govt and politics as a whole trying to dominate all aspects of society, plus negative partisanship and social alienation, are the chief culprits. Max is extreme, but his directional explanations make sense to me.
