How will you get the money to the nominee? As a PAC, you'll only be able to give him/her $5000, right?
Unity08's goal is to have a base of up to 10 million delegates participating in the June 2024 online convention. Granted, we are far from this goal now, but explosive growth is quite possible if 2024 plays out like past presidential elections: When the general public begins tuning in late next winter, they will probably find two uninspiring big party nominees. Unity08 will provide them an opportunity to shape an agenda and nominate a third choice -- one actually worth voting for.
When the comvention is over, there will no doubt be some delegates who are unhappy with the choice and who choose not to support the Unity08 ticket. But if even a relatively small share of those who do support the ticket provide contributions of $20, $50 or $100 -- well, that would put us well on our way to having enough to compete. Remember: If a third party candidate can reach 15% in the polls in September, he or she will be included in the presidential debates. And if our candidate can make the debates, then the sky is the limit for further gains.
I doubt we'll have anything approaching the money of the Democratic and Republican nominees. But political history shows that the most money doesn't always win, and that if you have the right message (and the right messenger), you simply need enough to spread the word.
