I'd suggest they run on using that money to fund a 10-year balanced budget, and a 20 year 1% across the board federal sales tax that goes ONLY to paying down the principal on the national debt.

Republicans are gonna scream about tax-and-spend democrats ANYWAY; if they're gonna blame us for it, we might as well own it AND take the issue away from them for good measure. Fuck em. Time to play the kind of hardball they don't have the stomach for anymore.
