I would donate money to the "anti-Lamar-Smith" fund. Perhaps we could fund a couple billboards in his area. Would be very nice as a way to send a clear message

  This already happened and Smith won the primary with an overwhelming majority.

  It's been already done by http://www.reddit.com/r/rpac http://www.reddit.com/r/rpac. They still lost. A couple of billboards are not enough to change the minds of the people who have been voting for him term after term. Plus, most probably weren't even aware of what he did/or didn't care.

  > I would donate money to the "anti-Lamar-Smith" fund. Perhaps we could fund a couple billboards in his area. This happened. "Reddit's" Political Action Committee, "Test Pac", was raising funds to put billboards all over his district[1]. I'm not sure if that was aimed more at the primary, which Smith won, or at the general election. I think it's the latter. Breadpig also raised funds for a billboard around the time of the primary[2], and I believe there actually was a billboard up in the district as a result of this. It may still be up.
