    Party Foul: Inside the Rise of Spies, Mercenaries, and Billionaire Moneymen -- Printout -- TIME Back to Article Click to Print Monday, Mar. 03, 2014 Party Foul: Inside the Rise of Spies, Mercenaries, and Billionaire Moneymen By Alex Altman; Zeke Miller On a cold Saturday in January, a spy slipped into a craft brewery in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, where Hillary Clinton's standing army was huddled in a private room. The 43-year-old operative lurked in the corner with a camera on a tripod, recording the group of old Clinton hands as they plotted her path to the presidency. "Nobody," veteran Democratic strategist Craig Smith told the group, "had ever done it like this before." Within hours, a clip of the gathering was shipped to the snoop's employer, a for-profit research firm in northern Virginia. From there, it was packaged for a conservative magazine and subsequently went viral online. It was an early score in a presidential election that won't officially begin for another year--and it happened without any involvement from a candidate or either party. The Clintonites were members of Ready for Hillary, a super PAC that is spending millions of dollars to assemble a grassroots battalion for the former Secretary of State's campaign-in-waiting. And the infiltrator was one of more than two dozen "trackers" dispatched across 19 states by a company looking to damage Democrats. This is the dawn of the outsourced campaign. For decades, elections have been the business of candidates and political parties and the professionals they employed. People with names on the ballot bought their own ads and wielded the ability to smite enemies with a single phone call.

    March 18, 2014 The Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Urging Swift Administration Action to Resolve Funding for Detroit-Windsor Bridge Customs Facility Dear President Obama: The undersigned organizations urge you to swiftly resolve questions surrounding funding for the U.S. Federal Plaza associated with the New International Trade Crossing (NITC) bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario to allow the project to commence. The new six-lane bridge will enhance a vital link with America’s closest economic partner. The current trade corridor, the busiest between the United States and Canada, handles 8,000 truck crossings and 68,000 travelers daily. The existing four-lane, 85-year old Ambassador Bridge is simply inadequate to handle projected volume increases. By adding vital new capacity, the NITC will reduce border congestion, enhance efficiencies for businesses on both sides of the border, create jobs, benefit the environment, and strengthen the North American economy. While the new bridge is expected to sustain and create a large number of jobs in the United States once finished, there will be an immediate boost to the construction sector as this significant infrastructure project gets underway. In fact, the project is expected to support thousands of direct construction jobs and thousands of other indirect jobs in Michigan, a state that was hard hit by the recession and is still working to recover. The long lasting impact of the project will be felt beyond Michigan, as the entire Midwest relies on reliable transportation infrastructure at the Detroit-Windsor crossing to get goods to market.

  • The Growth & Opportunity Project
    GROWTH & OPPORTUNITY PROJECT GROWTH & OPPORTUNITY PROJECT 1 GROWTH & OPPORTUNITY PROJECT A ONE-YEAR CHECK-UP March 17th, 2014 The definition of insanity, according to the over-used proverb attributed to Einstein, is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Many political organizations don’t understand that principle. But the RNC, under Chairman Reince Priebus, does. After 2012’s disappointing election, he vowed to end the cycle of repeating the same thing—and to do things differently. The five of us served as co-chairs of the Growth and Opportunity Project, an independent review panel that Chairman Priebus convened after the presidential election to make recommendations about how to grow the party and win more elections. We spent three months and received input from over 52,000 individuals—from surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one meetings. While the report provided recommendations on what the party at large needed to do, we’re pleased to see that the RNC has made tremendous progress on many of our recommendations in the course of the past year. Likewise, many of the other party committees and outside groups have also embraced aspects of the report and should be commended for their progress. We touched on a broad range of issues, but the most important recommendations centered around three areas: engaging more voters with a positive message through a permanent, nationwide, diverse field operation; modernizing data and digital capabilities to provide tools for state parties and campaigns for voter contact; and updating the presidential primary, debate, and convention process to strengthen the eventual nominee.
