@CornejoForMO FWIW: maybe no crime here, but I think there’s civil liability - intrusion upon seclusion for certain, also publication of private facts and misppropriation of name or likeness. Also, very ironic last paragraph.

@phlchristo @JChipmanMO120th @KurtEricksonPD Jack Abramoff and James Madison are not moral equivalents.

[Jay Barnes @jaybarnes5]

@JChipmanMO120th @KurtEricksonPD @phlchristo I'm against this no matter what its source - whether cash-in-a-bag or money-washing (c)(4)s. This shouldn't be a partisan issue. To go back to where we started, the only point I wanted to make here: mega-donors who give through c4s are cowards.

[Jay Barnes @jaybarnes5]

@KurtEricksonPD @phlchristo Like, in theory, someone could use a fake 501(c)(4) to hide pay-for-play contributions from public scrutiny. Or, in theory, they could use it to evade campaign finance laws altogether? Wait a second ...

Who said it Part II? “I do not look forward to a society which ... campaigns anonymously, ... hidden from public scrutiny and protected from ... criticism. This does not resemble the Home of the Brave.” @phlchristo

[Jay Barnes @jaybarnes5]

Who said it? “Requiring people to stand up in public for their political acts fosters civic courage, w/o which democracy is doomed” @phlchristo

[Jay Barnes @jaybarnes5]

@phlchristo Hold on, wasn't even talking about legislation. First tweet was about sympathy for mega-donors who 'choose to use c4s.' The small donors of which you speak aren't giving to those orgs so they can avoid 'bullying' - whatever that means.

[Jay Barnes @jaybarnes5]

@phlchristo Straw-man: Don't confuse small donors to long-standing issue organizations with mega-donors who wash their money through 501c4s of their own creation to avoid scrutiny. I repeat: the mega-donors who wash money are cowards.

Great photobomb here - but she’s not impressed by a tux and a dress

@MidMoSamaritan @CarrieTergin Thank you to the indefatigable Maryilyn DeFeo, @MRSDEFEOTJMS, and all of the folks @MidMoSamaritan for making our community a better place to live.

Agree w/ Tony. Let kids be kids - not quasi-professionals. And fwiw, not stated by Tony, but its good for kids to get their butts kicked every once in a while! Sports should build character, not the opposite. https://t.co/ADpbkjLztO

Happy Birthday America!

When you consider every political opponent a traitorous, corrupt, deplorable, unworthy human being, you devalue humanity and damage support for our institutions of government. Please stop - all of you!

Important speech by my friend, President George W. Bush today, reminding us of the values that have made America a beacon of hope for all.
