Mormon church reports spending $180,000 on Proposition 8

On top of that, some Prop. 8 opponents say church officials violated election law by failing to file campaign disclosure reports outlining church funds being spent on the campaign. Fred Karger, who filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission after the election alleging that church officials had not properly disclosed their involvement, said he thought today's filing proves that his complaint has merit.

"They said they reported all their travel ... now, when there is a [complaint filed] they disclose 25 Southwest tickets just in October," he said. "They were required to report this" in an earlier filing, he said. Church officials could not be reached for comment this evening.

Too bad those "millions" of $$$$ spoken about went to a campaign for this type of political folderol and venomous, putrid and souldestroying cancer instead of being donated for educational programs for all children.  I have a great deal of respect for individual members of the CJCLDS as they want the church to be know, and consider many to be in the class of friend.  None I admit know about my transness, and I do wonder how the individuals would respond to that. What I do not like though is the concept that the opinions of one or two coniving old billy goats are "
God's Holy Instructions" to the masses and divert needed resources to something that has not been looked at fully and compassionately especially the latter, instead of known needs in our communities.
