Rove to Everyone: The Next Step

Everyone,

Thank you so much for your support for Kerry's Karl Rove. Thanks to your viewership and propogation of our campaign tips, I believe we made a difference.

We're on to something here, and we're not going to stop just because Kerry narrowly lost the election.

Moving forward, we will be posting political tips to Our Karl Rove -

http://OurKarlRove.com

Our Karl Rove will be dedicated to two functions:

1. Help Develop "The Story": Help translate the values of Kerry/anti-Bush supporters into an alternative, compelling story that an opposition party can share with America.

2. Attack the Unjust: To provide strategic messaging to the opposition parties to help highlight the unjust acts of the ruling party.

The "story" will evolve through a series of posts that build on one another, whereas the "attacks" will be event-driven to support the immediate needs of the opposition.

We who supported Kerry are not the minority opinion -- we are the less organized opinion. Let's organize our thoughts and speak from a consistent voice. Let's develop our story of how America should proceed. Let's make sure Americans know our values through our active critiquing of unjust decisions and policies.

Let's make our light shine brighter.

Rove to Everyone: Stay Tuned, Transformation's a Comin'

Everyone,

Honestly, this site was not developed for your enjoyment. This was about John Kerry's campaign getting strategic with their messaging, and being as aggressive with their rhetoric as was needed to win.

It's a shame that most of the insight and advice dispensed here was not used by the Kerry campaign. What can I say? At least "W" has the discipline to trust and defer to this chief strategists unflinchingly.

That said, the popular response to our insight and messaging savvy was remarkably positive!

Wonkette.com (http://wonkette.com) recognized us and put one of our quotes on her homepage, which created quite a flurry of activity. Media outlets from US News to Slate, to the New York Times have visited, and organizations from the House of Representatives to the Library of Congress also paid visits. In fact, we had a 100% positive feedback rate. It's remarkable that so many people know a good thing when they see it, yet the head of the Democratic Ticket could not.

No wonder the co-editors of this site refuse to be Democrats.

It's been a week since the election, and we're already working on transformational messaging for the opposition party. Stay tuned, because if you thought Kerry's Karl Rove was thought provoking, insightful, and worthy of Kerry's campaign, then you ain't seen nothing yet.

I urge you to navigate to the right of the page and sign up so that you get an email notification when tips are published. Tips won't come daily, weekly, or monthly. They will come with the rhythm of the political ecosystem.

Stay tuned, and remember: While "W" may think he has a man-date, there are now 11 less states that support this kind of extracurricular activity.
