Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- The head of an influential social conservative organization urged members and supporters Wednesday to stop donating to the Republican National Committee and instead contribute to its own coffers or to candidates with like-minded goals.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, made the plea in his "Washington Update" column posted on the organization's Web site following the revelation that the RNC paid for a night out at a risque Hollywood nightclub.

1. Redundant and competing right wing fund raising organizations
will only end up wasting money.

2. Excellent
I will be supporting Tea Party candidates in as many state/local level primaries as possible. The more the conservatives are faracture, the easier it is for Dems to win.

3. RNC will have no shortage of money
Once the big business interests decide who they want, that person or group will get tons of money, thanks to the Supreme Court. How much RNC raises from individuals is now irrelevant.
