The staff at MoveOn could have chosen to take the traditional route and used the collective brainpower of its notoriously small staff to come up with ideas for its anti-Rove campaign. Instead it followed the path of Democracy for America's (hat tip to Bob Brigham at Swing State Project):

Finally, after a week and 17,740 entries from MoveOn members we have a winner in the Fire Karl Rove Slogan Contest. And the winner is...

"Loose Lips Deserve Pink Slips. Fire Karl Rove."

Now that we have the slogan we need to get it out there. We've designed a downloadable poster from the winning slogan. You can print it easily on a desktop printer and it's perfect to place in your window, hang on your refrigerator, and tack on a bulletin board at home, work or in your community, in a gym locker or anywhere else that makes sense. Take a minute right now to click on the link below to download and print the poster (you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader).

The winner of the contest, Mary Thornquist, received 16,826 votes. That's a heck of a lot more people thinking about the best message than the usual "Tom, Eli, Justin, Carrie and the MoveOn.org Political Action Team."
