How come Shea-Porter can use the official State Seal?

How come she can use it and NH Insider cannot? What is so special about a Democrat politician's website?
Oh yeah, she's a Democrat politician in a Democrat State....and NH Insider is not a Democrat site.
(SMACK) D'uh!
The Story:
Will the NH Sec. of State and NH AG Take Action?
NHInsider.com was told, after going back and forth a few times that it is against the law to use the image of the State Seal on our webpage. When we objected the State Attorney General issued a cease and desist order or something to the effect that they were going to prosceute [sic] us for using the seal. We took it off our front page.
Now congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter has a website
This website is affiliated with Rep Shea-Porter's campaign for another term in the US house of Representatives. That has no real connection to the State of NH business yet she has the State Seal adoring her front page.
Will she be threatened with legal action or will she be allowed to keep it up on her website?

So, what will the State do if lots of other sites pick up this story to publicize it?
