Human Rights Campaign
Perhaps the most embedded in the Hillary Clinton camp is Chad Griffin, the CEO of the Human Rights Campaign. Since 1992, Griffin has worked for or has been associated with both Bill and Hillary. He first worked on Bill Clinton’s campaign and then at the age of 19, was the youngest staff member hired by the new administration. As CEO of HRC, his Clinton roots run deep, and without any input of members, Hillary won their endorsement.

NARAL
On January 4, Ilyse Hogue, President of pro-choice advocacy group, NARAL Pro-Choice America, posted a blog on Medium explaining why her board decided to endorse Clinton over Bernie Sanders.
Hogue’s reasons included Clinton’s leadership on the topic, but four out of five reasons had to do with the fact that Hillary is a woman.

Planned Parenthood
When Planned Parenthood came out in support of Hillary Clinton, the outrage was strong and the backlash swift. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, though. The CEO of PP is Cecile Richards, daughter of the late Texas governor Ann Richards. Richards’ ties to the Clinton campaign go back a long way. Their endorsement allowed them to donate up to $20 million to Hillary and other candidates.
Richards’ daughter, Lily Adams, is also a prominent staffer on Hillary Clinton’s campaign as the Iowa communications director.

1. It's called Cronyism

and it's inherently undemocratic.

2. Hopefully people can be made aware of these connections

The more they understand, the less they will be swayed by endorsements. Frankly I'm not seeing much of an effect.

3. And there you go.
