Important Things to Know

(About Paying for Your World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll Campaign) 

How to Fund Your Campaign  

Ideally, find some Dark Money. That seems to be the good stuff for campaigns.  We do not recommend withdrawing your 401k early and incurring the subsequent penalties or emptying out your kids’ college fund—as your first option. 

We care about kids–but we care about bears more (at least in this section of the website), so if you have to take drastic measures to help your favorite bear win the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll, you should do it.  You can always tell your kids to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, something you can’t tell bears because they don’t usually wear boots.   

However, if you do support a bear like Paddington Bear that does wear boots, this may get complex.  In such cases, use your best judgment or flip coin.  

How to Write Off Your Campaign Efforts on Your Taxes 

You can’t–yet.  Petition your local congressperson.  Protest them until they get off their rear end and change laws so you can save money in this way.  Why should the politicians get all of the campaign advantages? What are we, chopped liver? No, we are people. And, more than that, we are campaign managers and spokespeople for the bears; we are the Loraxes of the bears. The Lorax didn’t pay taxes; why should you have to when you are performing the same work?
