text: SM: The objective is to try to elect more free-market tax-cutting candidates to congress. We believe that thanks to groups like the Cato Institute, CEI, and the Heritage Foundation, the intellectual war is largely being won by our side. We have all the strong intellectual arguments on our side. The question is, and I think Fred Smith is the one who is famous for saying it, if we're so smart, why aren't we winning? The answer is because the left plays the game of politics a lot better than we do. We're trying to use some of the very tactics the left has used very effectively to elect people like Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer to Congress, but to use those tactics and fundraising mechanisms to elect good free-market people like Phil Gramm and Ron Paul. So, what we do is make recommendations on outstanding candidates to our members, and they decide if they wish to support them. And if they do, they send those checks to us. We use what is called the Emily's List model of bundling contributions for candidates who want to cut taxes and slash government.
