Secret Email Group Helps States Demand Names of Donors to Conservative Groups

[WestVirginiaRebel]

PJ Media:

Texas state campaign finance regulators are pursuing enforcement actions seeking the names of donors to conservative organizations. With other state regulators in Democrat-run states, these speech regulators are coordinating their responses to free speech litigation and state legislation limiting their regulatory powers.

 

Other states, including California, are also attempting to obtain the names of donors from conservative groups.

 

State speech and campaign finance regulators in blue states, and in states with regulatory boards such as Wisconsin with a decidedly left-leaning bias, have been participating in an internet discussion group to enhance state speech regulation.

 

The list server is run by the state of Vermont. The address: Campaign-Finance-Litigation-Defense@list.state.vt.us. Emails obtained by PJ Media show extensive collaboration among bureaucrats in different states in their efforts to regulate political speech, particularly against conservatives.

 

Participation on the list has included government employees in at least the following states: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New York City, New York, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.
