Let's call it Progressive Resources, Inc. It's not a non-profit. It sells a product...just one product, a bumper sticker saying "Progressive Resources Supports Progressives." Each bumper sticker costs $100. That $100 also gets you one share of the corporation and entitles you to vote on the corporation's policies.
All proceeds from sales of Progressive Resources products, after any applicable taxes, will be used to buy television time to campaign for progressive candidates for public office, particularly in places where they stand a decent chance of winning the election. Candidates to be supported will be chosen in elections, based on votes of the corporation's shareholders in elections held online.
Many other such corporations could also be created. If they're going to allow corporations to spend as much money as they want on campaign ads, then let's form corporations with that as their sole purpose. To avoid conflicts with regulations on non-profits, each can sell a product for a price that far, far, exceeds the cost of the product, along with a share in the corporation.
What we cannot change, we should use to advance our own goals. Seems simple enough to me.
