Hey spittenred get your facts straight. Goodwin has never been convicted, or even accused in a court of law, of anything like that. I guess you can't defend your convicted dogfighter friend Tom Garner with facts so you have to make up lies about other people. Also, what is the IRC? Do you mean IRS? If so, the IRS allows non-profits to spend a certain percentage of their budget on lobbying. Again, you just don't have your facts straight. I'd expect that from a dogfighter.
Re: “Member of Orange County's chained-dog study panel has ties to dog-fighting”
Ah, so now you admit your dogfighting friends were lying when they claimed Mr. Goodwin was a convicted arsonist. That is similar to how they lied about Koki's credentials. You guys sure do lie a lot. So you can point to some hatchet piece on the internet that quotes Goodwin from over a decade ago, or you can see what he has written after growing up where he has condemned illegal activities. http://www.satyamag.com/mar04/pacelle.html Goodwin came to condemn extremism. It's too bad convicted dogfighter Tom Garner can't come to condemn the crimes he has been, and probably still is, involved in. Unlike Goodwin, Garner just can't find it in his heart to become a responsible citizen. He clearly keeps on selling dogs with the intent to fight, and uses deceptive means to try and influence county politics, even going so far as trying to deceive the county commission with his puppet Alane Koki.
