We are STILL waiting for an answer...

We're STILL waiting for the Attorney General to define 'political activity'. It seems as though they really have to dig... Our "efforts to educate the public about the job their elected officials are doing", as Robby said are legitimate.

NMI: AG is stalling on definition of 'political activity', senator says

By: Heath Haussamen 12/12/08

Almost three months have passed since state Sen. Cisco McSorley asked Attorney General Gary King for an official opinion on how New Mexico defines political activity. Now McSorley says the AG is stalling.

Although the attorney general still hasn’t responded to McSorley’s request, King’s office says any charges of stalling are unfounded.

“The McSorley opinion is still being researched and drafted. No completion date has been set,” AG spokesman Phil Sisneros said.

McSorely, D-Albuquerque, first made the request after King refused to explain why he believes two nonprofits’ activities have crossed the line between issue advocacy and political campaigning.

Earlier this year, King advised the secretary of state that the Center for Civic Policy’s New Mexico Youth Organized and another nonprofit, SouthWest Organizing Project, had resorted to political campaigning in mailers like this one sent two to three months before the June primary, targeting several lawmakers.
