Shadow Group To Re-Start Campaign

A shadowy group that raised and spent more than $200,000 in anonymous contributions to fund statewide TV ads in favor of Propositions 1, 2 and 3, the school reform referenda, issued a defiant news release today headed, “Founders: 'We won't back down,'” asserting that it'll resume its activities to “talk to voters about education reform and make sure they understand the education issues on Idaho's ballot” in the final two weeks before the election - despite a legal dispute with the Idaho Secretary of State over the legality of the group not disclosing its contributors/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

Question: Why would individuals contributing to Luna Law reforms be afraid to acknowledge their financial contribution since Republican leadership is behind the change?
