Petrelis Files

Dear Friends:

In looking over the Federal Election Commission records of Joseph Solmonese, the Human Rights Campaign's new leader, I wasn't the least bit surprised that all of his donations since 1992 have been to Democratic candidates and PACs closely affiliated with the Democratic Party.

But what was amusing was seeing that Solmonese had donated twice to his predecessor at HRC -- Cheryl Jacques!

Maybe he should call her up and ask for advice on how to avoid becoming a failed executive director of a gay and lesbian political action group.

Considering his strong Democratic leanings and donations, it will be fascinating to watch Solmonese reach out to work with the GOP, Greens and independent voters and politicians.
