Answer 1

The purpose of your trip is not tourism or business so you don't fall under the permissible reasons to use the Visa Waiver Program. Check out the following web-page http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/withou...

To be honest, I have no idea what type of visa would allow a foreign citizen to travel to the US to work in a US election campaign. I don't mean to seem cruel, but perhaps this is not your business.
