El Protector

Eric Crafton's latest excuse for not abiding the law and being transparent about which extremist groups are funding his English Only referendum: contributors will be the targets of death threats.

If every political campaign chose not to disclose its campaign financing sources due to death threats, would there ever be any disclosure at all?

Crafton is once again granting himself special exceptions and acting like he is a cut above any other leader.

Every exception he gives himself eliminates any future claim he has on a moral high ground. He has already sacrificed any claim to be a fiscal conservative by seeking a high dollar special election; now he is jettisoning his opportunity to champion government transparency.
