A Denver advocacy group Thursday called on James Dobson to release his 2004 campaign visit records to clarify whether he and Focus on the Family followed tax rules that limit nonprofit groups' involvement in political activities.

Michael Huttner, executive director of ProgressNow.org, formerly the Rocky Mountain Progressive Network, said his group does not have proof that rules were had violated, only that "red flags" had been raised about whether Dobson used the group he founded 28 years ago to improperly organize support for candidates.

An attorney for the Colorado Springs-based evangelical Christian ministry called the claims baseless and said Focus already files forms with the government detailing how it spends its money, documents that are public record.

Huttner said taxpayers and the media have the right to see Dobson's e-mail and correspondence on Dobson's campaign activity. He also questioned whether links on Focus Web pages and articles in its magazines about politics crossed the line. Bobb said they don't.

I hope these bastards get taxed and penaltied right out of business

1. I hope that they can get FOF also

Dobson is dangerous and I do not doubt that he crossed some lines last year.
