The only way to take down the current DNC, and drive the Liberals out, is to eliminate the DNC’s revenue stream.  To do that, pressure must be put on all the major DNC donors to just stop giving to the current Democrats in office, and to the DNC itself.

This is something the Tea Party movement doesn’t seem to understand, and that many of you in the conservative and moderate ranks never think about.

It’s kind of like taking Al Capone down for tax evasion.

It’s not as sexy as protesting at a Senator’s office or holding a big “convention” in Nashville.

But, it will work.

Keep your eyes peeled for the current president’s repeated call to DNC donors to pony up more cash.

We’ll let you in on a little secret:  the reason these donors give to the DNC is not because they actually believe in what the DNC is doing.  They give money because they want things, and most of what they want is pictures of them with famous people to hang on their walls at home, or in their offices.  Whenever we do special events here in Chicago, the houses we go to are filled with snapshots of the owners with every Democrat imaginable over the last 20 years.  95% of these pictures are taken at $1,000 a person photo-op meet and greets.  Those political evenings feature weak drinks and room temperature cheese.  Occasionally, here in Chicago, there are hot waiters in little tuxes, passing mediocre spinach puffs.  If you are lucky.

We think something unprecedented could be mounted by the coalition of moderates, independents, and conservatives that comes here to HillBuzz, using our own fundraising background and knowledge of this scene, to drive a temporary wedge between Democrats and their donors.

We say temporary because it’s delusional to think you will ever cut the DNC off from the people who want these photographs of themselves with the powerful.  That’s just not going to happen.

BUT, in this economy, people are already averse to forking out the money they used to for meet and greets.  If heat was put on these people for giving to the current 60 Democrats in the Senate, for instance, many wealthy Democrat donors might find it reasonable to make do with the photos they already have this year, instead of ponying up the funds to take new ones with Claire McCaskill, Evan Bayh, Chuck Schumer, Barbara Boxer, et al.

It won’t even take much to make a difference, really.

We’ve organized these fundraisers before.  We know how quickly panic mode sets in.  If you are running a meet and greet for 300 people, and it’s two weeks out and you have not booked 200 for the event, then national gets on your case in a big way.  If it’s a few days out, and you are not oversold, man alive, you are in trouble.

Very few of the people who attend these events want it know they are attending them.  They’re there for the pictures, only, not so much the cause.  So, using FEC records to identify the top donors to the 60 Democrats in the Senate currently, then organizing letter writing, email, and telephone campaigns to ask these top donors, politely, to stop donating to these Democrats will severely curb DNC fundraising efforts in 2010.

What you need to understand is that these big donors bring many smaller donors to the parties with them. If Mrs. Smith isn’t coming, neither are her assistants, or their friends, or all the people who want to usurp Mrs. Smith some day as the grand dame of the Chicago fundraising scene.

Convince Mrs. Smith she needs to take a break from politics for a while, and maybe fund the Joffrey or some other nonprofit that won’t draw her unwanted attention, and score a major victory for the American Resistance against the current Liberals in the Senate this year.

This is a mammoth project…one that we don’t especially know where to begin on, aside from starting with the five races we have already decided to pursue this year, with the addition of Claire McCaskill and Evan Bayh.  McCaskill because we think it’s never too soon to start working against her 2012 re-election bid, and Bayh because the GOP seems intent to flub its chances in Indiana, so we need to be unexpected reinforcements in that race.

We’ve debated on whether or not to go after Bayh, a man we like personally.  But, he’s proved his “moderate Democrat” billing was all just a lie.  He is a major disappointment.  We think he needs to be defeated.  We’re tempted to make him an official sixth race for Action Items going forward.

It’s a very, very busy week for us here, but hopefully this weekend we can find the time to sit down and chart out solid daily Action Items for how to take down the fundraising operations of:

(1) Barbara Boxer

(2) Chuck Schumer

(3) Claire McCaskill

(4) Alexi Giannoulias

(5) Evan Bayh

(6) Whomever is running against Michelle Bachmann in Minnesota

(7) Nancy Pelosi

Now, our goal is to make a dent in their fundraising.  We know we won’t ever take down their machines completely.  But, we guarantee a dent will be noticed by national.  If people who operate in shadows and attend these events just to get pictures on their walls suddenly start getting a thousand letters a week telling them to stop supporting Liberals, these people will stop going to these events, we guarantee.  And that will cause panic in Senate offices…and that panic will be telegraphed to the DNC…and all Hell will break loose all over the place.

Trust us on that.

We’ve been there.

We’ve been on the receiving end of phone calls from people who are pretty famous, angry we haven’t filled all the tables at something yet, three weeks before a candidate event.  If it’s already going to be a hard sell to fundraise for some of these races, we collectively at HillBuzz can be the straw that breaks the donkey’s back, and unleashes all manner of angst, tension, and pressure  upon people who are taxed to the limits already.

If we exist for any reason, it appears to be this extra little push, laser-focused, and directed in specific places like this.  THAT’S when we are truly effective…when we do things other operatives don’t think to do, and exploit weaknesses no one else sees.

We hope you’ll help us, because we think this is an Achilles heel the DNC doesn’t realize it has, since they presume their donors will show up for events no matter what…and we know for a fact that is just not true.
