pecuniumYes on 8 Supporters Admit to Blackmailing People
The letter from Yes on 8 came by certified mail, demanding at least $10,000. Jim Abbot knows exactly why he's being targeted - his business gave $10,000 to a group called Equality California, which supports No on Prop 8....
The letter says if Jim doesn't give an equal donation to Yes on 8, the name of his company will be published. It reads in part, "It is only fair for Proposition 8 supporters to know which companies and organizations oppose traditional marriage....
Yes on 8 confirms they sent around 30 companies the letter.
It's probably not illegal, but I want to find out every single business owner which supported it, publish their companies' names and start a boycott.
With a statement that their support for 8 is the reason why.
