Re: Proposal for a Post-War Democratic Plan

Dear Mr. President:

Now that the United States Armed Forces have overcome the external threats posed by our German and Japanese enemies, I’ve been asked to outline a strategy for maintaining Democratic Party control over the US populace in the post-war.

The DNC is fortunate to have maintained control of the House, Senate, and presidency throughout the war, for had the GOP been in control they would likely exploit their position as well. For this reason, I’ve been asked to produce this outline.

I. MEDIA CONTROL

1. After discussing various matters with sympathetic news editors and publishers, it’s clear that they understand and sympathize with our goals and agree that control of the media is vital for maintaining control over both our US citizenry and foreign allies.

2. These publishers (Media Group) boast a combined domestic readership of approximately 23 million each day. Another 12 million listen to radio and millions more patronize movie theaters where newsreels provide public information. These numbers are expected to grow as our population and GIs return home to raise families and enter a time of peace.

3. Democratic control of information will be vital in the coming decades. In return, the aforementioned publishers expect to gain the necessary cooperation to scoop stories over less-cooperative editors who still hold quaint notions of being an “incorruptible voice for the people” or other nonsense. With this understanding, the DNC and the Media Group will likely marginalize uncooperative competitors to a point of ineffectiveness and financial failure. The Group assures us that this can be accomplished discreetly and without any overt promulgation of written or otherwise transmitted directives.

1. After speaking with the Education Group, we are assured that control of school curriculum is vital for developing appeal of the Democratic Party to young voters. After decades of reliance on the KKK and other reckless and embarrassing mobs to secure votes at the ballot box, the DNC must develop a friendlier strategy if we are to encourage voters to choose Democratic candidates. For example, if history books and teachers irresponsibly described the conduct and history of the Democratic Party and their treatment of blacks, Chinese, and other lesser non-whites and women, it could harm our chances to maintain a strong position on moral, social, and cultural issues at the voting booth.

2. Actual misrepresentations should not be made, for questions might arise from some outspoken historians. Rather than changing uncontrolled materials that implicate former and current Democrats, publishers can omit certain periods and acts in a way that grade school graduates and their parents are unlikely to notice. By the time they establish their own careers, the Media Group will be able to re-enforce earlier studies with newsprint and radio.

3. Public schools should be carefully and gradually degraded so that the majority of children will be unprepared to enter college or seek white collar jobs. We’ve met with union officials (Union Group) who believe that they can accomplish this through careful hiring rather than administratively asking teachers to modify curriculum. The Union Group believes that by securing pay, tenure, and other benefits above their non-union peers, they can appoint malleable educators and administrators and establish multi-million dollar bureaucracies that can transfer large tax revenues through union coffers directly toward Democratic candidates.

4. The benefits are multifold in that the Union Group not only secures Democrat legislators but also delivers marginally educated school graduates into other higher-paying union jobs over non-union jobs. By using union strikes and other bargaining mechanisms to secure pay and benefits, the Union Group can coerce corporate concessions to raise prices, union income, and union dues in the name of fairness, equity, or other monikers the DNC chooses to promote.

III. ACADEMICS

1. After careful discussions with presidents and senior administrators of numerous public and private universities, it appears unfeasible to proceed as directly on college campuses. At the onset, we were concerned that any action against “academic freedoms” would be met with resistance. After much consideration however, we believe that union and DNC contributions will eventually produce the controls we seek. Once college presidents see the financial writing on the walls and witness more cooperative universities and colleges receive funding and assistance, they will eventually replace tenured professors with more suitable candidates.

2. The same conditions apply to the legal profession as well. As a career lawyer, judge, and soon-to-be US Supreme Court justice, I appreciate the appeal of representing the poor, downtrodden, and underprivileged who will come largely from public schools, union ranks, and various lesser groups that can sustain a legal industry and judicial power necessary to generate income from corporate lawsuits and settlements. Like unions, our many trial lawyer associations can generate significant returns to be targeted toward Democratic elections and candidates. One positive consequence is that uneducated union workers are more likely to render favorably verdicts than educated and successful professionals.

IV. SUMMARY

A comprehensive report is forthcoming. This note outlines the larger report that I expect will satisfy all of your questions. This plan offers the elegance of simplicity that, once started, will not require detailed guidelines or roadmaps. Once it is implemented, I urge you to destroy this synopsis and all copies and references of my formal report. No other copies have been generated.

If properly managed, the symbiotic relationship between the Unions, Media, and Legal Groups and the Democratic Party can secure Party appeal and control for generations to come. With market forces and technologies like the development of the cathode ray tube (Tele-Vision), it’s unlikely that the Democratic Party can lose control over the US population without the miraculous development of unforeseen inventions and applications. In this way, the DNC can apply natural market forces to secure our moral and political position without the primitive means still used by some Democrat segregationists in the South. In this way, the Democratic Party can wear the clothing of reform and virtue while assuring Party control for generations to come.

As your close friend and newest Supreme Court appointee, I urge you to proceed with this plan at once. I will be honored to give the word.
