"Imagine if one day you went to vote in your state or local primary election and you were told "Oh, I'm sorry, but you didn't donate enough money to the Party this year to have the right to vote in our primary election. We're really sorry about that, but hey, don't worry...we'll be sure to let you know how it comes out."

Sound ridiculous? Maybe, but that's pretty much exactly how the leadership of the Human Rights Campaign operates. If you want a vote in the political agenda of HRC, you need to pony up fifty grand or more to the organization's operating budget in order to have one."
