What kind of organization should citizens be allowed to create to promote a political position, if not a corporation?

If by citizens you mean citizens with a fuckload of money.

One with limited spending power appears to be the gist, to everyone but the Supreme Court

A political party, surely.

(Also, despite that I am not much of a fan of the UK political system, I do like that it has extremely low limits on election spending).

A new political party would itself be a corporation (because if not, who owns its assets?) Running single-issue minor party candidates is also useless unless your issue is important enough to convince a majority of voters to abandon one of the big two parties that have run everything for our lifetimes.

The non-profit kind for starters.

Citizens United is a 501(c)4 nonprofit. I think a lot of Super PACs are, but it doesn't seem to alleviate anyone's concerns.
