Interesting idea: celebrity influencer for hire: pay a celebrity to champion your cause/make it go viral. Maybe do a "GoFundMe"-esque model (although, giving celebs even more money will probably not be popular... how about "$$$ for a charity of your choice if you talk about the stupid iPhone keyboard"?)
Unfortunately people of intermediate standing try all the time and get told to go back to their day job and stop dabbling in political action.
Also some of these people would have voted for Reagan so... you know. A person is smart, people are stupid.
