The "Human Rights Campaign".
They have accomplished nothing. No ENDA, no DOMA repeal, no DADT repeal. But here's what HRC's executives made last year (2009):

Joseph Solmonese $291,177
Cathy Nelson $226,948
David Smith $206,753
Martin Rouse $170,958
Susanne Salkind $170,578
Alison Herwitt $163,891
James Rinefierd $156,878
Robert Falk $142,495
Christopher Speron $140,173
Elizabeth Pursell $138,970
Andrea Green $132,192
Kevin Layton $130,480
Ann Crowley $127,813
Halcyon Mathis $125,525
It's absolutely infuriating. Median full-time employed Americans get by on less than $50k per year, and these parasites live like kings on donations intended to be for a good cause.
That really explains a lot - if I was living high on the hog making $300k per year as a lobbyist, I, too, would not feel a partitcular sense of urgency to get my job accomplished, as years - or decades - pass without tangible results.
More people need to know this and stop donating to HRC.
This is what we call a "conflict of interest". When people are paid, and have every incentive NOT to get their job done.
