After reading, click \"Begin Application\".\n\n== Organization Type ==\n[[File:IRS-Step02.png]]\n\nSince there are no options on the first page that match the criteria of the entity, you'll need to choose \"'''View Additional Types, Including Tax-Exempt and Governmental Organizations'''\", then click \"Continue\".\n\n== Organization Type (cont.) ==\n[[File:IRS-Step03.png]]\n\nOn this page select \"'''Political Organization'''\", then click \"Continue\".\n\n== Organization Type Description ==\n[[File:IRS-Step04.png]]\n\nThis page will describe the option you just chose. If you accidentally chose the wrong option, then click \"Change Type\"; if it is correct, then click \"Continue\".\n\n== EIN Registration Type ==\n[[File:IRS-Step05.png]]\n\nOn this page it will request why you are registering for an EIN, select \"'''Started a new business'''\" since you are registering a new entity. Click \"Continue\"\n\n== Responsible Party ==\n[[File:IRS-Step06.png]]\n\nOn this page it will ask who is the responsible party for the political organization. Since you are starting the first political entity of the Pirate Party in your state and have no existing business, select \"'''Individual'''\", then click \"Continue\".\n\n== Responsible Party (cont.) ==\n[[File:IRS-Step07.png]]\n\nThis page will request your information for registering the entity to know who's responsible for it. Fill in the first name, middle name/initial, and last name with your information. If you have a special title (Junior, Senior, etc), choose one for the Suffix dropdown menu; if not, leave it at \"Select One\".\n\nFor SSN/ITIN, use '''your''' Social Security Number, as this is required to identify and authenticate you to the IRS.\n\nLastly, choose \"'''I am responsible and duly authorized office or a board member having knowledge of this organization's affairs'''\", then click \"Continue\".\n\n== Political Organization Location ==\n[[File:IRS-Step08.png]]\n\nFill in the location information about the political party, if you have a physical presence. If not, then just use your home address. Likewise for the phone number. If you want the IRS to mail you at a different address other than the physical building where your state Pirate Party's operations reside, then choose \"Yes\"; if not (in most cases), select \"'''No'''\". Lastly, click \"Continue\".\n\n== Political Organization Name and Financials ==\n[[File:IRS-Step09.png]]\n\nFill in the legal name of the Political Organization, by what you have officially chosen. Suggestions are \"Pirate Party of (''State Name'')\" (most common), or \"(''State Name'') Pirate Party\". Fill in the county and state of where it's located.\n\nFor the start date, in most cases you can simply put the month and year that you are filling out this online form.\n\nFor closing month of accounting year, choose \"'''December'''\".\n\nFor \"Will you file Form 8871 under Sec 527\", choose \"'''Yes'''\".\n\nReread everything you have entered and correct any errors, when you're completely certain you filled everything in without spelling errors, click \"Continue\".\n\n== W-2s ==\n[[File:IRS-Step10.png]]\n\nThis page will ask if you will have any employees receiving W-2s. So if you are honestly hiring someone as an employee of the political organization as a part-time or full time job, you'd choose Yes. But in majority of cases this usually isn't the case, therefore in that instance choose \"'''No'''\". Click \"Continue\".\n\n== Completion ==\nThe remainder of the process is simply inquiring if you'd prefer to have the IRS snail mail you your EIN number, or if you want to retreive it immediately online as a PDF, so that you can simply print the same document that you'd receive in the mail. This is your preference. You need to chose one of the options, and click \"Continue\", rather than just closing the web browser thinking you're done. Now you are registered with the IRS and can now open a bank account for your State Pirate Party when you reach the page saying \"Thank you for using the EIN Assistant\"."

The basic rule is that as long as you are representing the Pirate Party, you must follow local laws. Our posters are our representation in the public arena, and and to be taken seriously in the political world, we must respect people's property and all applicable laws. Pirate Party assumes no moral position on where you post, so long as the previous point is respected. \n\n\nUniversities are excellent places to post, as students are energetic and eager. Also because the issues are new and evolving, due to he fact that the technology involved is new and evolving, it makes sense that it would attract voters who are new and evolving. Every school posting policy is different. You must call ahead and check for posting guidelines. One small private school I called allows no political posters at all. Universities and colleges exist within towns, though, and the town may allow you to post up. If you know the traffic of students around town, you will know where best to post.\n\n\nMany businesses have bulletin boards for notices, especially cafes and such near campus. You can ask permission to post on these. Churches also have bulletin boards, and should be approached, but use your better judgement. Baptists might not be as recepetive as Unitarians.\n\n\nMany events have literature tables. I went to see Noam Chomsky and Phyllis Bennis speak at a UJP event, and they had a table for people to spread out their literature. Again, ask permission first. Many event have these tables. If you take some flyers with you to the events you attend, you may be pleasantly surprised how eager they are for you to set them out."
