    With great to-do, Unity08 committed to disclosing donations above $200 every two weeks (see http://unity08.com/donors). The idea was to promote "the spirit of greater financial transparency, which is sorely lacking in politics today."

    It is now late September, and there has not been a disclosure since July 15.

    This doesn't inspire my confidence. In fact, it inspires my skepticism -- what does Unity08.com have to hide?

    I write this as someone who is neither a Republican nor a Democrat, as someone who would like to see a third way grow. But we all know that a great many "third way" efforts turn out to be slick shenanigans. I want to know that Unity08.com is not. I need to see the organization's promises kept.

    When will the commitment to disclosures every two weeks be fulfilled?

    The list of donors who contributed $200+ to Unity08 was updated on Monday, October 9.

    We moved to a new system to track online and offline donations, and instead of releasing incomplete information we opted to wait and release complete and accurate information after the wrinkles were ironed out of the system. Going forward, this information will be updated once a month.

    We apologize for the delay and will do our best to ensure it is updated on a regular schedule going forward.
