Supporting the Marriage Amendment Campaign

North Carolina’s election laws impose reporting obligations on any organization, including a business or church, that spends more than $100 to lobby the general public for or against a ballot referendum, such as the proposed Marriage Protection Amendment to the State Constitution that will be voted upon on May 8, 2012. The disclosure rules do not apply to communications by an organization with its members. They also do not require donors to organizations lobbying for the Marriage Amendment to file disclosure reports. However, the law does require those who directly lobby people other than their members through advertisements or personal contacts to disclose how they finance their lobbying activities.
