Er, I mean, that's what a greedy capitalist pig would do. Too bad How fortunate we aren't motivated by profit and greed.
You fools. Do I have to do everything around here? Do I have draw you all a picture and pull out little hand puppets to explain? Do you need a copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money Without Looking Like You're Just Another Capitalist"?
This is how you do it:
First of all, you establish a non-profit, non-partisan, grass roots initiative. Give it a name, e.g. Community Organizing For Czar Wars Action Figures (COFCWAF), or World Can't Wait for Czar Wars Action Figures, or Czar Wars Action Figures for Peace, Earth, and Children (CWAFFPEC) or Czar Wars Actions Figures for a Greener Planet, or even Czar Wars Action Figures That Raise Awareness, or CWAFTRA, etc.
Write a mission statement to go with it, using as many verbs* as possible: Czar Wars Action Figures for Whatever is a non-profit, non-partisan grass roots initiative that seeks to raise awareness of the need to organize and establish programs that educate, inform, and motivate citizens to develop a better interest in supporting Czar Wars Action Figures through community efforts to promote activities such as canvassing, letter-writing, and passing resolutions that call for implementing social justice, demanding peace, and caring for the planet.
You then proceed to sell the Czar Wars action figures, not for profit, but to RAISE AWARENESS about the issues related to Obama's czars. Make sure you tell prospective buyers that proceeds from their purchase will go directly to the establishment of programs that educate and inform citizens about all the many programs established and promoted by Obama's czars to implement Obama's various programs and initiatives, etc. (see sample mission statement)
And for the love of Lenin, don't call it money! Call it HOPE, e.g., "Your gift of HOPE will help us to make more Czar Wars Action Figures, which in turn will yada-yada (again with the verb-laden mission statement). Please keep giving us HOPE!" . . . "Our organization is powered by HOPE--and
suckers supporters like YOU."
*Using as many verbs as possible will make your organization look as if it's actually doing something, besides just raising money--which is basically all such organizations do, anyway.
