From Red to Blue

The left's strategy to build big government, state-by-state

The left's strategy for shifting American politics

• From the ground up

After again being shut out of the White House in 2004,

a secretive coalition of billionaires who fund leftwing causes decided that spending

hundreds of millions on TV ads and get-out-the-vote efforts wasn't enough.

• State by state

To win elections--and to win them over and over again,

year after year--George Soros and his friends decided they

needed a mass of shiny new baubles--think tanks, so-called media truth squads,

candidate recruitment PACs, and more--in state after state.

• Under the radar

Pouring cash at a ferocious rate into state-level organizations means

that nearly all this build-up of infrastructure has gone unnoticed.

That's deliberate, as Tim Gill crows in They Won't Know What Hit Them.

• In secrecy

A founding father of the Democracy Alliance purred that "like a lot of elite groups, we fly beneath the radar".

That's by design. The group "requires nondisclosure agreements"

from recipients who must pledge not to reveal their benefactors.
