I would like to do this in the U. K and would like to know every thing that i need to know to start this up.
I want to form a new national political party, but I would like some
additional information before I dive into the process. A few items
that could help me out:
1. What “red tape” must I go through to form this party? More
specifically, will I need to register with any federal or state
agency(s)? Keep in mind that I will be soliciting (via email, direct
mail, and telephone) donations for the party. It might be a relavant
fact in answering this question that the party’s headquarters will
initially be located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It will, however, be a
national party. Along the same lines of this question, do I need to
register as a not-for-profit organization? How? Basically, this
question is an attempt to find out what (if any) forms and
registrations I need to complete to form a national political party.
Please spend the most amount of time on this question because if we as
a party do something wrong here we could be breaking the law! I’d hate
for the party to fall apart or be sued because we forgot to fill out
some random form.
2. On the issue of donations, what are my options for people
submitting donations online? What are the best payment service
providers on the Internet. I know of PayPal, but are there others that
might be better for this particular purpose of political
contributions?
3. On that same note, I am preparing an initial e-mail that will be
introducing the party and seeking contributions to get the party
going. How can I get this email to a large (1mil or more), nationwide
group of people? Of course, I’ll be sending the email to everyone in
my address book, and hopeful that they’ll do the same, so on and so
on, creating a snowball effect. But, is there also a way to get (or
buy) lists of random email addresses that it would be legal to send
out an email such as this to? I’ve looked on the internet, and it
appears that one can buy such a thing of lists where people have opted
in . . . so, what service should I go through to buy this list of email
addresses. Which service is the best? Things to consider: I want the
email read, not sent directly to people’s junk mail box. I want the
email sent to as many people as possible up front and then just hope
our ideas create a snowball affect.
4. Who should I get to build the party’s website, which I hope will be
state-of-the art? More specifically, what firms are rated highest in
web development?
5. What are some of the top-notch marketing firms that could help in
“branding” the party? Here, we’re lookign for top-rated firms that
specialize in political campaigns.
Answers to the questions above would certainly be helpful. However,
please feel free to throw any any other information/advice/tips that
might be helpful in forming a political party. By no means limit
yourself to the specific questions above, because Any and all
information on the issue of “forming a political party” would be a
great help.
