3. Same here, although they're more conservative than I am

I would suggest you target your spare dollars at districts in your state that are not safe. Getting rid of that grandstanding idiot Issa would seem to be a priority. He's making your whole state a laughing stock.

If you've got more than a few spare dollars, invest them in safe GOP districts in other states. Make assholes like Joe Barton spend more than they expected to and drain their coffers. Let the plutocracy know that while they can contribute unlimited money to keep these jerks in office, that will keep costing them more and more as time goes on.

And if you've still got legs that work, get out there and GOTV.
