Well, you guys are kind of late because may be you haven't noticed but the GOP has already been eviscerated and crippled. I don't really mean it to be taken literally but they are licking their wounds. Instapundit.com from where I read this post makes a good sugestion;
TEA PARTY FOLKS SHOULD READ THIS AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THE SAME THING, IN REVERSE:

If the lefty’s want to up the ante and extend oppo beyond campaigns to the governing process I say let’s go it on. Their ridiculous sloppy lives, finances, drug addled brains and STD’s will come back to cripple them.

End tax exemptions for any organization. If we all suffered equally we’d not be in the mess we have today.

How many black pastors would tolerate the tax situation if they couldn’t acrue their funding tax free? Many black pastors in Chicago are RE millionaires.

The invention of the 501 c3 was a leftist circumvention in the first place. Let churches, colleges and “non-profits” all suffer along with the rest of us.

The term “non-profit” is a myth as well.

The difference is that tea partyers can't because we are all working ourselves to death whereas for these people it IS their job. They are getting paid to do this.

That's why I want to see more states forge ahead with right to work laws. Nothing is more effective at shutting down democrat fundraising efforts. (Something like $250 million in Michigan alone)

Sue for slander and damages every time one of these attacks happens. Tie these demons up in court. Cost them a lot of money.

Yes I agree with you. The GOP is already eviscerate and crippled. Why are they wasting their money on a lost cause?

We don’t need some Progressive group to do it. We can thank all our pussy RINO Senators and Congressman. I include my own two Senators of Georgia in that group.

Conservative legislators must defund the left at every opportunity. One such opportunity comes in the form of the level of asset payout that tax-exempt foundations must comply with in order to retain their exemption.

Through the tax code, we allowed tax-exempt foundations to have eternal life, and to have an unaccountable voice to advocate for policies they favor. Foundations do not have shareholders who can vote for a new Board of Directors, they do not have customers who can boycott to force a change in direction or attitude. What they do have is a self -sustaining, self-appointing Board. Further, if a foundation is sufficiently endowed, if it earns more in investment income than it is required to give away each years (only 5%), then the foundation has eternal life.

The solution is to make foundations mortal again. Raise the 5% payout to 7 1/2%. Foundations will then eventually spend themselves out of business. We will benefit from the increased tax revenue that generates. We benefit as a nation. The founding fathers never envisioned unaccountable voices in the public square, let alone ones exempt from all taxation.

With this boost, existing foundations would push 50% more money out into their recipient base each year. The downside is that leftist causes would get more funding. The upside is that soon those foundations would have spent-out their assets and would be out of business. The other upside is that tax-exempt foundations hold an estimated 4% of the GDP in their portfolios and forcing this money out of investment s and into the economy would create jobs and tax revenues for government at all levels.

I would say this is killing two birds with one stone and in the long run helps to defund the left.
