Here is a citizen ad video I created highlighting the differences between John Edwards and Barack Obama on the issue of Iraq.

Let us all honor the father of the Citizen ad revolution, Phil De Vellis.

Phil de Vellis, the creator of the famous (or infamous) "Vote Different" internet video that used Apple's 1984 ad to draw contrasts between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, has just produced a new video -- this time going after embattled World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz.

If you want to get involved in the effort to put pressure on Wolfowitz to resign in the face of questions of serious improprieties on his part, visit Avaaz.org.

Why would Blue State Digital feel compelled to say they "terminated" Phil De Vellis for having created the 1984 video? Phil blogged on Huff Post that he "resigned"; but Thomas Gensemer (who I vaguely know) goes out of his way to claim that Blue State Digital "terminated" De Vellis. I guess the guys at BSD thought they needed to offer up Phil's head to the Obama campaign. Weow, fuck you too!

I know Phil from having hired him away from Walmart-Watch to be the online communications director for Sherrod Brown, to replace Tim Tagaris as the latter went to work at the DNC. Phil was one of 4 individuals I hired for the tech/internet team there, and lasted till the very end of the campaign. A terrific staffer and worker, I was prepared to bring him on staff had Warner continued on his presidential run. I heard he was talking to Edwards team, and then that he got hired by Blue State Digital to do client services.

I know the founders of Blue State Digital, and this was a petty move on their part-- an over-reaction to say the least. Phil's a big reason why Sherrod Brown kicked ass in Ohio in 2006, he made a remarkable video adaption, and BSD could have simply said they accept his resignation.

Feel free to post here on MyDD anytime Phil, stretch out that 15 minutes...
