Three weeks after the Legislature voted to put the gay marriage amendment on the ballot in 2012, things are beginning to pick up steam.

Most notably, the state's campaign finance board plans next Tuesday to revisit a 14-year-old advisory opinion which said corporations -- both businesses and non-profits -- do not have disclose their own donors when giving to ballot question committees.

Activists on both sides of the marriage debate say the board's decision could have a major impact on the next 17 months, considering the National Organization for Marriage and the Human Rights Campaign are expected to pour resources into Minnesota. Different disclosure rules, depending on what they are, may change the role those groups play in the campaigns.

NOM's executive director said they plan to have an attorney present at the hearing, while an HRC official said they will be monitoring the outcome closely.

The decision, which might not come on Tuesday, could also have broad implications for any other constitutional amendments on the ballot this year (possibly voter ID).

On Monday, Minnesotans United For All Families, the coalition opposing the amendment, will host a fundraiser featuring Gov. Mark Dayton at Thom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen in downtown Minneapolis. It is the coalition's first publicized fundraiser of the campaign.

On Friday, Rep. John Kriesel will join conservative commentator S.E. Cupp at a book signing and happy hour hosted by the Republicans Against the Minnesota Marriage Amendment. Kriesel was one of the only GOP 'no' votes on the measure.

Moving forward 10 days from today, MUFAF will be officially launching their campaign at the Loring Theater in Minneapolis. Speakers include Sens. John Marty and Scott Dibble. Entrance costs $25, or $100 for "VIP."

Chuck Darrell, a spokesman for the Minnesota Family Council, one of the leading groups supporting the amendment, was vague about whether they have fundraisers planned for the near future. "Nothing outside of our normal fundraising activities," he wrote in an e-mail.

When asked about the next two weeks specifically, Darrell replied, "MFC just held it's Annual Dinner in May and will continue fundraising activities for the duration of the marriage amendment campaign."
