Yes, I said to myself. Staying true to the philosophy of ‘yes, and’ that Stephen Colbert (the person, not the megalomaniacal talk show host) espouses, which dictates that in life, as in improvisational acting, one must never say ‘no,’ but rather say ‘yes, and,’ I immediately knew that my answer was a resounding yes, and. Yes, I will do it. And I will do it right now. And I will do it with as many people who want to do it with me. And I will reach out to people young and old, Democrat and Republican, engineers and English majors. And I will do this, even though I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing, or how to do it.
I’ll wait for Trevor Potter’s handbook — not legal advice, Colbert warned, and if you mix up the directions, instead of registering a political action committee, you’ll find yourself stuck with a shoddy piece of Ikea furniture — before I fill out the F.E.C. paperwork. And I’ve already surveyed several students and professors who have expressed their interest in helping me navigate the red tape of the world of campaign finance. But, after all, we’re not doing this because it’s impossible. We’re doing this because it’s one page of paperwork to register a political action committee. We’re doing it because it’s so easy, a college student can do it.
Until the not-legal-advice handbook and the rest of the essential pieces of the Super Fun Pack (particularly the Allen wrench and tube socks) arrive, I’ll continue to amass support from my peers, with whom I’m staying in touch via a Facebook page I created on Monday. So far, reactions vary from “You’re starting a what? What’s that?” (“Exactly why you should join!”) to “That’s awesome, I’d love to help!” (“Fantastic! The Colbert Nation salutes you, fellow it-getter!”).
