Here’s how you can do it:
(1) Go to
http://www.newsmeat.com/ It is the be-all and end-all for federal campaign contribution research. Get very familiar with it. We’re working on a tutorial to help guide you on how to get the best information out of it. Please add comments to this thread your experiences with it that would be good in a tutorial.
(2) Go to www.OpenSecrets.org Similar to Newsmeat. Please do the same thing, and as you get familiar with it add in comments your tips so that we can compile a tutorial that teaches people how to effectively research who is funding the Left.
(3) Run Bing searches for “Louise Slaughter fundraiser”, “Louise Slaughter” campaign event, “Louise Slaughter” co-chair event, etc. trying to pull up all the articles you can find on campaign fundraising events Louise Slaughter has held. When we find these events, we need to read carefully for any names that keep popping up as Chairs or Co-Chairs or “Friends” of the event. These are wealthy people who raise all the money for Slaughter. They are the ones who are charged with bringing as many people to the event as possible, requiring all their friends and neighbors to pony up the $1,000 or $2,500 or whatever it costs to get into the event to have their photo taken with Slaughter and whatever luminaries she’s brought with her to entice attendance. If we can start alienating her bundlers from her, and get the Chairs of her events to stop hosting fundraisers for her, we can bankrupt her re-election campaign rather quickly.
(4) Use this thread to research all negative things you can about Slaughter. We can use them in our letters to her Donors telling them exactly why they need to stop giving Louise Slaughter any more campaign contributions.
(5) The next step is to research the associates, neighbors, and friends of Louise Slaughter’s Donors and ask them to ask their friends to stop giving to Louise Slaughter. We think that will really unnerve a lot of these socialites, if their FRIENDS and NEIGHBORS start getting mail too, telling them all about what the Donors are up to. We bet that makes them stop writing checks to Slaughter licketysplit.
Democracy can only work if individuals may give freely to a cause without fear or retribution. This disgraceful teabagger site, who claim to be patriots are attempting to destroy the very fabric of democracy. Democracy can not be just the protected Corporate donors, it must also be about the individual donors, big or small.
The American right wing are going way too far now. I'm happy to shine a light on those extremists and will be more than happy to reveal the full details of the thugs. If they do so, I hope that any of the donors threatened by these thugs will be able to use the information against them, in a court of law of necessary.
