Having sucked up as many email addressees as he could taken the teabagging movement as far as he could, Grand Supreme Ultimo Tonguer of the Scrote, Eric Odom is spitting out the bit(s) and moving on to another phony-baloney money-sucking rightwing front organization. But first, an atta-boy for the teabagging troops:

Fellow DontGo Movement members,

This will be my last message to you as the Director of the DontGo Movement. Effective May 11th, 2009, Ken Marrero will become the Executive Director of the DontGo Movement for the final transitioning phase of the organization.

But I’m also writing you about a new organization and opportunity that builds on the work we have done together as part of the DontGo Movement. Something that will put us — together — on the forefront of a political revolution. It is an effort that will give each of us an opportunity to do just what we’ve always wanted — have a united voice that cannot be ignored in Washington.

[...]

Words cannot express what an honor it has been working with all of you under the DontGo brand during the past ten months (and many of you for the past seven years!). When Allen Fuller and I decided to use the Twitter hashtag “#dontgo” last August 1st, we had no idea tens of thousands of Americans would immediately join us in a collaborative effort to oppose government regulation on energy. We both still ponder the significance of that day and have a hard time believing it all really happened that fast.

Ooooo. Tell us more about the new thingy!:

A few weeks ago, at TaxDayTeaParty.com, we asked you to share your ideas with us. Thousands of Americans submitted suggestions. We’ve read through a ton of them, and there seems to be a common thread:

No sense of unity within the movement.

We fully intend to change this.

But how?

While we understand there are a lot of issues that Americans get passionate about, we believe that in the short term our unified efforts should be highly focused on defeating the blatant attacks on the free-market system. This should be done by focusing our energy on a handful of costly and detrimental Federal issues, while at the same time working together to take back our government at the local level.

The Federal issues to be focused on will be discussed soon, but ideally our fight should be in the socialized health care, cap and trade, union card check, internet taxes, free speech and related regulation realms. These are all issues that, if succeed in the direction of those who oppose the free-market system, will make it virtually impossible for us to win on any other issues.

It is vital that we ensure our free-market system survives first and foremost. If the socialist agenda removes our ability to flourish as individual Americans building success on our own accord, we’re doomed in all other political battles.

[...]

The American Liberty Alliance, or ALA, is currently developing an online environment where mass collaboration can occur. The free-market movement needs to build sound strategy and infrastructure that will enable a unified effort to implement political success in every area mentioned above.

ALA will be identifying grassroots leadership in every state, and eventually, every county across the country. Once identified, these leaders will take ownership of this movement and work with a national effort to coordinate activity.

As this is happening, ALA will be building comprehensive online infrastructure that will enable Americans from all political backgrounds and parties to join in on an effort to take back our country.

Call me cynical but this  sounds exactly like the old #Dontgo movement and the old American TeaParty Movement but with a new label. Obviously #dontgo was hampered by the sheer stupidity of the name while the TeaParty movement was tainted by  accusations of teabagging as noted by frat house America. So, unable to lick’em, they’re joining up under a new name, the American Liberty Alliance  or (ALA) which has a nice generic ring to it much like the National Council for a New America which is the new name for the Less Popular Than Herpes Dating Club. Eventually this MadLib strategy for group naming will run dry or run the risk of things like American Freedom Fist of National Liberty or (AFFNL) or National Freedom Council for More Freedom or  (NFCMF).

As for me, I’m disappointed that the ALA didn’t go for  the pithier American National Alliance for Liberty which would have given me not only months of blogging material but proof that there is a God. There is still hope though, since someone else already has the name.

ALA got no Google.
