Yes, I’m an official member of the Colbert SuperPAC.
If you want more information about the awesome Colbert SuperPAC, I suggest you watch a few clips of the Colbert Report.

Stephen Colbert created the SuperPAC in response to SarahPAC’s abbreviated bus tour in which she spent fundraiser money to wrap a huge motorhome and take a family vacation to important historical sites (botching the founding story all along the way and being tailed by a coup of ravenous reporters). Oh yeah, she contributed to political campaigns and candidates as well.
Basically, Stephen’s PAC is committed to raising huge sums of money from nameless donors to support an arbitrary cause.
The real cause, obviously, is to point out the absurdity of the PAC itself – that in America we can give unlimited amounts of money anonymously to engage in subversive and ethically questionable political activities in order to get people elected. In this case, even though the Supreme Court ruled that money is speech, Stephen happens to think (as do I) that they are wrong. (Case in point: we are all born with 1 mouth, but we are not all born with $100 in our pockets)
The PAC itself is tending to be super absurd in itself, including the introductory FORM email I got from them:
Ohh… I just love it. Keep it up Colbert!!!
