In reply to several email donation solicitations I've told Ken Martin and his digital teams this very thing.
After Obama didn't get enough initial money from the DNC back in the day, I started donating directly to candidates rather than through any DLCC or DSCC or DCCC.
I still donate to the DGA (Democratic Governors Association) and the CDA (College Dems of America), both part of the DNC, in the runups to midterms and general elections.

Party members and state party leaders are the leadership's best consulting base, not corporate consultants.
