At last comes an "Immodest [and Brilliant] Proposal" from Steve Ghaerman: Empty Envelopes for Empty Promises
For all you irate, frustrated liberals out there, this is 'A Plan' and a Must Read.
Here's the gist of it in Ghaerman's words:

Over the next month, as the Democrats are gearing up for a campaign year where they are hoping to regain control of Congress, let’s send the Democratic Central Committee empty envelopes instead of donations: Empty envelopes for empty promises.As entertaining as Ghaerman is, this is a remarkably workable way to light a fire under the Democratic party. For the latter reason especially, ya gotta read the entire post here.
