From the FAQ on VoterVoter.com
What is VoterVoter?
VoterVoter is a non-partisan political advertising service. We make it easy for you, as an individual, to run your own political advertisement on TV. VoterVoter.com enables you to directly help your candidate or cause through broadcast TV. With VoterVoter, you can select or create the advertising message of your choice and have that message play on TV stations throughout the country.

Why use VoterVoter instead of contributing the money directly to a cause or candidate?
VoterVoter allows you to select the specific advertisement you want to support and the amount that you want to spend. Because you are not contributing to a campaign, but are making your own choice on how to spend your money, your independent expenditure is not limited. If you were to contribute your money to a candidate, you would be limited by Federal Election Commission guidelines, which currently limit contributions to $2,300 per election cycle.

Thought you should know, but I don't know enough yet to have an opinion one way or the other.
