Prior to the convention, follow a few members to luncheons, junkets...other tax supported non-productive functions, and then-- on the big day, play the tapes on a loop as you pretend to cart away the corpses of "dead weight". There is always a way to cut government spending, but you can't count on people in government to point it out to you.
Do it in such a way,(with humor) that the 6 O'Cock news can't help but report on your antics!
