On Dana Perlman and Barry Karas [ TLR Note: TLR's technical team managed to intercept suspicious queries on the platform dealing with Walter Lack of Engstrom Lispcomb & Lack in connection with "Mose + Karas" -- FYR. Unlike Walter Lack -- both Perlman and Karas are absolutely of no interest to TLR, and neither are their fund raising activities -- however, why the secrecy? connection to Walter Lack? Sources - who is Mose? ]

The Center for Responsible Politics’ OpenSecretsblog posted a story on Friday about LGBTs who have bundled “big money” for President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Among them are Los Angeles gay fundraisers Dana Perlman, who sits on the board of the Human Rights Campaign, and Barry Karas, a former HRC board member. (The New York Times has a larger story, mentioning other bundlers such as Hollywood heavyweight Jeffrey Katzenberg.)

The blog previously reported that:

more than 350 bundlers have collectively raised at least $56 million for Obama and the Democratic National Committee – the equivalent of $1 out of every $3 the two organizations have raised. And at least $2.7 million of that sum has come from 12 prominent gay and lesbian advocates, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics. That’s nearly 5 percent of the money all of Obama’s bundlers have raised.
