In 2014 the Democrats have 20 Senate seats up for the November vote. 17 of those seats are either vacant (retired incumbent) or held by Freshmen Senators. 7 of those seats are in states that either went for Romney in 2012 or else recalled sitting Democrats from their state legislature in 2013.
Faced with the above, potential GOP Senate candidates for those 20 seats would appreciate something new...campaign material that doesn't regurgitate traditional Beltway Elite talking points about taxes, abortion, gay rights, etc.
However, to create material that does not involve the rehashed political ideas of the 2012 Romney Campaign will require thinking from outside the DC Beltway...even if it involves pointing out to state voters what is going on inside that same DC Beltway.
One example that I would suggest for this Campaign Material is pointing out that voters should vote against Democrats to end the Congressional stonewalling of the 9/11/2012 Benghazi attack and assassination of Ambassador Stevens.
Here is Senator Cruz asking for unanimous consent from the Senate to investigate Benghazi, and Senator Boxer killing that chance to investigate:
http://democrats.senate.gov/2013/09/18/cruz-requests-to-adopt-benghazi-resolutionboxer-objects/
This is the form that I'd like to see this thread follow. Notice that the source link above for Senator Boxer opposing the investigation of Benghazi is from the Senate Democrats' own government web site.
It's an easy sound-bite: Senate Democrats oppose investigating Benghazi
That's a nice 1-2 punch. A source that Democrats can't slander (themselves), and a sound-bite for a tangible reason to vote against them.
A longer list of such examples as the above, coming from Free Republic posters in the above format, could be taken seriously by GOP Senate candidates much the way the grassroots Contract With America worked for the GOP in retaking the House back during the Clinton era.
Please keep it simple. No arguments, no preaching to the choir, no long tirades, no conspiracy theories, no trashing of the ideas that others post, etc.
The Governor of Louisiana, Piyush “Bobby” Ji9\ndal, has been reported in proce3ss to ensure the re-election of $300 Million Dollar Mary Landrieu, by sabotaging the election process of the Republican candidate in that race.
Good ad against the democrat running to fill Carl Levin’s seat.

Make up some Certificates to give to Kindergarteners (or their parents and grandparents) indicating how much Dingy and 0bama are going to have them owing when they graduate from Kindergarten and then High School.
Sound-bite: The GOP supports openness in government, whereas the Democrats went to court to keep the White House visitor logs secret.
(Notice the 1-2 punch format of soundbite + unimpeachable source link)
Doesn’t follow the 1-2 soundbite+source format against a Democrat.
Doesn’t follow the 1-2 soundbite+source format against a Democrat.
Think out of the box.

*************************************************************
I guess you didn’t see the opener’s request for an unimpeachable source-link (not a fringe web site) and no conspiracy theories.
Can you provide a link or are you interested in simply turning Republicans against one another?
Conservatives win in Congress when we nationalize the election. So here’s my two cents, and my soundbite for low information voters.
The strategy of the Democrat Party in three letters... B H O, and they are not the initials of the president.
B is for Big - Democrats love big institutions, big government, big unions, big banks, big donors
H is for Hate - Democrats hate you, just like they hate all Americans. That’s why you were not given an extension to comply with Obama care, but 1200 unions, companies, and Congress were. (Fill in any from the hundreds of other examples here)
O is for Oh Shut Up - Americans like you and I are not supposed to oppose the president and his agenda. If we do we’re racists. If we ask uncomfortable questions, we’re just told that we won’t get the answer until later if at all (see “Pass it before you see what’s in it,” or Benghazi, or the number of people that have successfully signed up for Obamacare.
Keep pushing this line, and reference all of the Democrats actions against one of these three Democrat strategies and everyone will get the point. It should be easy to do with the likes of Harry Reid and company.
People will vote on economics.
1. Obamacare is eliminating millions of full-time jobs.
2. Obamacare is raising the costs of everyone’s insurance.
BTTT!

Sound-bite 1: Democrats wrote a letter to the IRS demanding that it target conservative groups.
Source 2: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/us/politics/07irs.html?_r=0

Simple print piece(candidates name and picture)
It’s time to get government out of Our faces
Our religions and and Our pocketbooks
Always mention election dates both primary and general
The piece above is designed to be printed up and passed around your precinct and your friends and neighbors as a (index sized) palmcard. On the face (REVERSE SIDE)or below the slogan you can put the name of the candidate you favor and the election dates...EXCELLENT FOR SLIPPING UNDER WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON CARS PARKED IN KEY PARKING LOTS CHURCHES, RALLY SITES....
The media could be given a sound trashing by conservative candidates or local talk shows just citing the stuff the media was using in the Zimmerman case to incite racial strife which has resulted in black youths (mainly) attacks on whites and hispanics resulting in deaths.
But it’s not even being approached. Not only (pardon the pun) collectively, but individually. Doing so would clearly point out that the visual and print media will are deep in the socialist agenda sewer with the regime. They are creating an America its citizens does not know.
Because each one of the media alphabet soup kitchens individually cooked up socialist concoctions following the cue given them by The POTUS Obama. Falling all over each other defending Obama’s mere comments “If I had a son” and “That could have been me” utterances which served as cues to the direction the propapganda was to take.
The fact that The POTUS embelished one statement after another. And as POTUS had to have full knowledge of the circumstaces of the Florida episode which in essence was a black on black episode. Yet POTUS Obama decided to manipulate the facts into a full blown racial incident to furthur a socialist concept and inflame a political base makes the Je Accuse Dreyfus scandal look like French pastry.
Letting POTUS Obama and his media get away with this travesty particularly by the clueless political opposition boggles the mind. But the facts are that’s what the conservative movement called the “tea party” is dealing with.
Doesn’t follow the 1-2 soundbite+source format against a Democrat.

Copy the list and email the numbers to everyone on your email list(s) and ask them to do the same with their email list(s). We The People should call these Elitists 24/7.
When calling the DC Royalty, ask them for a response in writing of their justification for the current debacle and their support of the Whiner in our WH. Also, ask them for their justification of the treatment the Regime is perpetrating against our WWII vets at the WWII Memorial. Keep their letters, which will be double speak form letters, to use against them when they’re out there whining and begging for reelection. If they don’t send a letter, document that to be used as well.
