NAACP Endorsement is FOR SALE. Pechanga buys them off

Wow. So much for the NAACP's concern of civil rights. I guess for Huffman, it's all about the Benjamins.


NAACP head is paid by tribes, backs their plan

The president of the California NAACP has been paid more than $40,000 in consulting fees – and the organization itself has received $60,000 – from a coalition of Indian tribes at the same time the civil rights group has endorsed four ballot measures pushed by its tribal benefactors.
The payments to Alice Huffman, who has served as president of the state conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 1999, continue a three-year pattern in which Huffman's political firm has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by special interest groups.

QUESTION: What is it that Huffman does that's worth $40,000? How many hours has she spent on consulting?
