Move over, MoveOn: GOP's a-comin'

By: Mike Allen, Politico.com
Jun 29, 2007

Veteran Republicans say they have quietly raised millions of dollars for a pair of nonprofit organizations that will launch this fall with the aim of providing a conservative counterweight to the liberal MoveOn.org, Politico.com has learned.

The issues and education group, which has a plan to enlist hundreds of thousands of small donors, intends to be active in the 2008 presidential campaign, according to Republicans involved in the effort. Organizers, who include veterans of the last three Republican administrations, would not give specifics on how much money the group has raised so far or who constitutes its donor base.

The president and chairman of the board will be Bradley A. Blakeman, a lawyer who appears frequently on television as a Republican analyst and was a member of the senior staff during President Bush's first term.

“We’re in the formative stages of creating a new group that will give voice to conservatives everywhere who believe in peace through strength and limited government,” Blakeman said. “We expect to have more to announce sometime down the road.”

Neither Blakeman nor Rogich is a household name — but both were influential, behind-the-scenes White House players who boast extensive Rolodexes.
