Kelo-TV’s version

Argus Leader version;

The Campaign for Healthy Families said in a written statement that it complained to Secretary of State Chris Nelson that the side favoring the abortion ban – VoteYesForLife.com – has received 19 anonymous contributions, or contributions from donors without listed addresses, totaling about $11,500. The letter, signed by Jan Nicolay, co-chair of the ban opponents’ committee, said the contributions violate campaign finance laws.
