2. Give directly to the candidates you support.
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 05:49 PM by iconoclastNYC
The DCCC uses funds raised as a benchmark of electability.

So if you are a candidate that is willing to sell out to the corporate lobby, you hook up with the DLC, who acts as your pimp and whores yourself out to the highest corporate bidder. You wrack up the corporate donations, and presto....the DCCC says....oh you are viable....and gives them the money you donated. So in this case your money went to a DLC candidate who will vote for the next "Energy Bill" tax giveaway to big oil, or to the next medicare drug bill giveaway to big pharam....or to the credit card industry written bankrupsy bill.

You are better off donating the money directly to the candidates who share your values, or donate to a PAC that is committed to donating to candidates that support your values.

Money to the DCCC will go to corporatist candidates. The head of the DCCC is a big DLC toady.
