If you want to do something better than it's ever been done before, here's a suggestion: Launch a political action committee!

Yes. Sure. You could launch a for-profit company.

But profit? Ugh. As a company founder, your focus inevitably must turn to generating profit by selling goods and/or services.

And this relentless drive for profit — which if you don't achieve will ruin you — will create a conflict between the goals of the company (profit) and the goals of its employees (having fun). Ugh again!

On the other hand, as a PAC founder, your organization is entirely funded by political donations — whether they're from everyday Americans, millionaires, billionaires, or, yes, even corporations.

And here's another exciting truth: Politics doesn't have to be so, well, so politically polarizing all the goddamn time. PACs aren't required to spend all (or any) of their time or resources fighting unwinnable politics battles that turn people against each other!

So let's reinvent the political playbook, redefine what it means to be a PAC, and revitalize the spirit of America.

Step 1: Articulate a compelling vision for America's future‍

Step 2: Hire a compliance firm

Ugh, there must be endless rules and regulations when it comes to political action committees, right?

Well, first of all, it's not all that complicated — some people even argue there aren't enough rules and regulations when it comes to PACs, given the Citizens United Decision of 2010, etc.

But in any event, before you officially begin, you'll want to hire a compliance firm, which will manage all of your bookkeeping and do all of your FEC (Federal Election Commission) filings, including the initial launch documents your PAC will submit with the FEC.

Step 3: Recruit fundraisers

I recommend you hire one or more fundraisers as independent contractors earning $5,000/month + 10% of what they raise.

This arrangement is not only a powerful way to empower someone to start their own small business, but it's also a cost effective way to raise millions of dollars without bothering grassroots donors, who are obviously tapped out after endless email fundraising appeals.

Here's an example contract for this new approach.

If you'd like to become a fundraiser for a PAC, you can learn more about PACs seeking fundraisers here.

If you'd like ME to help you raise your first $500,000 (and I'd really like to get the entire amount raised in less than a month), please let me know using the form below.

Step 4: Raise your first $500,000
‍
Let's be honest: One annoying thing about raising money for political campaigns is the giving limits, which prevent millionaires and billionaires from donating any more than $3,500 per election.

And ok, yes, the primary and the general are counted separately, so any individual donor can actually contribute up to $7,000.

And ok, yes, a married couple can donate $14,000.

But on the other hand, PACs can accept contributions of literally ANY amount from millionaires, billionaires, and even corporations.

And according to Bernie Sanders, there are more millionaires and billionaires in America than ever before in history, and they're just getting richer and richer, every single goddamn day of the year.

And roughly half of them are Democrats!

What's more, some of these people are actually ALREADY in the habit of making generous political contributions, but desperately seeking new and innovative political ideas to support financially.

(If you're a millionaire, billionaire, or everyday American interested in contributing or raising $50,000+ for PACs dedicated to making politics fun and creating jobs that pay $50/hour, click here to learn more about the latest opportunities to become a VIP donor.)

Step 5: Recruit a leadership team
‍
Once you've raised $500,000, I recommend hiring a team of leaders, keeping your leadership structure extremely flat and flexible (aka extremely Democratic) by paying team leaders $10,000/month, plus travel, food and accommodations.

This approach will attract top talent (if you're interested in available team leader roles, click here), while creating new jobs in politics.

I also recommend hiring a Chair, or perhaps even a pair of Chairs, paying each chair $174,000 (exactly what a member of Congress makes), immediately making the role of Chair of a PAC at least as appealing — if not even more appealing — as being in Congress.

So, for those in Congress who are now stuck in a dead-end jobs they don't know how to retire from, for those who have run for Congress before but didn't win (the lucky ones), or for anyone else who would like to represent a PAC publicly and do some fundraising too, click here to see available Chair opportunities.

Step 6: Create jobs that pay $50/hour

A lot of Americans could really use a fun and flexible job that pays $50/hour, whether they work for 40 hours a week, or whether they want to just work a few hours here and there.

And the Democratic Party could really use a jobs plan.

So, what if a growing number of Democratic PACs started offering a bunch of different job opportunities that all paid $50/hour, jobs that were dedicated to making politics fun?

And what if this new approach to Democratic jobs quickly spread to every single state in America?

That could make the Democrats a while lot more popular, right?

(To see the currently available jobs that pays $50/hour, click here.)

Step 7: Empower new leaders

Now that you've created a thriving PAC, you can help others do the same thing! That's right, your PAC can make donations of ANY size to other PACs just starting them out, playing an important role in helping others thrive.

And yes, your PAC can also spend unlimited amounts of money to help elect some new voices to Congress, just as long as you're not coordinating with the campaigns you're supporting — and don't worry, your compliance team will explain all the rules!

So, if you're serious about taking action at this critical moment in America's history, there's really no more better way to do it than by launching a PAC. A PAC with a brand new approach to politics.

What are you waiting you? Let's get started!
