Rand's campaign should probably be made aware of this memo, as he is specifically mentioned in it, and I figure that somebody here knows somebody there.

Create sufficient pressure for your moderate opponents to be forced to weigh
in on the positions of your far right opponents. For example, Rand Paul
denies that the president is a United States citizen. Trey Grayson should be
pressured into stating whether or not he believes the same.
With one key exception, this sounds like they're gunning for us. Note the conspicuous absence of any foreign policy questions. Here's the article that led me to the memo, followed by their abridged version of the talking points.

Specifically, the DSCC wants Democratic candidates to pin down their likely opponents on several hot-button issues, including:
- Do you believe that Barack Obama is a U.S.citizen?
- Do you think the Tenth Amendment bars Congress from issuing regulations like minimum healthcare coverage standards?
- Do you think programs like Social Security and Medicare represent socialism, and should never have been created in the first place?
- Do you think President Obama is a socialist?
- Do you think America should return to a gold standard?
