Well the answer is pretty simple. Start taking over the closest ward nearest you. Generally there are only a few real “party activists” who dominate the organization, if you are truely motivated then you should be able to muster up enough people to get elected and start cleaning house.
As for “teaching the establishment a lesson”, don’t withhold your vote (job one is to ensure Obama is not re elected. Job two is to ensure any local democrat is thrown out of office), but you can withhold your cash. Showing up to vote costs you nothing, as does word of mouth advertizing for the Republican candidate, but not donating and filling the coffers of the “establishment” will hurt them big time.
Putting the two together will ensure a Republican house and Senate come election day (plus State houses, govenorships and even Mayoral and alderman seats), and sets the stage for a longer term overhaul of the GOP starting from the bottom up.
