Sinister news: Mormon Church admits it spent 100 times more for Prop 8 than reported
San Francisco, California) Six weeks into an investigation by California’s Fair Political Practices Commission, the Church of Latter-Day Saints has admitted that it spent nearly $188,000 more on the campaign to approve Proposition 8 that it had initially stated.

Send / ShareAdd CommentThe Mormon Church previously insisted that it spent only $2,078 to support the ban on same-sex marriage, something LGBT leaders said was implausible in light of a number of visits to California by high ranking church officials, ads allegedly produced with church funds and the large number of church staffers working on the campaign.

In November, Californians Against Hate filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission accusing the church of failing to report the value of work it did to support Prop 8.

1. Who do they think they are, Tom Daschle?
It's depressing when it seems like nobody is reporting financial information that the rest of us little guys and gals have to.

2. Tax the Church.
The ratio of evil deeds to good no longer justifies their existence scot free.

Tax God like Cigarettes.

4. So now they can add lying to the list of sins they've committed.
The Morality Police are ALWAYS the biggest hypocrites around.

5. More than a mere lie
This is a case of flat out 'bearing of false witness'. Which they did with utter abandon, for they feel as if they are above and beyond the laws of this land.
