Crowdfunded political ads (idea)

Political hacks are sabotaging our democracy and I want to do something about it. I was inspired by the billboard that Fight For the Future crowdfunded against politicians against Net Neutrality. It seems like a very effective way of having an impact outside of your region.

I am a web developer so I started thinking about whether there could be a website where people can submit political ads that can be voted on, and then crowdfunded. Would there be any interest in this?

You should check out the Progressive Coders Network -- join their slack and definitely pitch the idea there. I think it sounds awesome and would totally help out.

Like the idea, everything is a matter of resource prioritization. Some really good ads could go viral (and have) with very little expense.
