Tafel on a Tear
December 23, 2004
The former Executive Director of the Log Cab Republicans, Rich Tafel, has a blog and something to say about it. Listen to Tafel on NPR December 21.
I don't want to turn this blog into a critique site for HRC, but I will try to respond to some of the questions I've received. I'm not trying to be cruel when I say that if HRC closed their doors for a year, there would be no impact in the political world of Washington, DC. They have no access and have not had access to the decision makers and leaders on Capitol Hill for a decade.What they've become is a group dedicated to fundraising. Their strategy is simple: Convince their donor base that they are Jews living in Germany in 1933. Republicans are the equivalent to the Nazis. HRC is raising funds to save Jews from the Nazis. Gays who work in the Republican Party are called Jews working for the Nazis. These scare tactics are incredible fundraising strategies.

The only thing that will change HRC's and the gay community's future will happen if their donors simply refuse to write checks. These donors should stop falling for farce that they are supporting a group that can effect change. Donors to gay groups should ask their organizations to state three goals that the group will tackle. Donors should insist on asking the groups what tangible results they can expect at the end of 2005.
