I posted this last evening on Daily Kos, and, since I've spent at least as much time here as I have there, I wanted to give everyone here the opportunity to see this. This is the home, after all, of the Blogfather ...
John Kerry is not running for President. But he is running a national campaign. More to the point, he's running multiple national campaigns. But they are not to get him elected; they are campaigns for causes, campaigns for our country. He (with our support at JohnKerry.com) is running a campaign to get a new direction in Iraq and set a deadline to start bringing our troops home, a campaign to get solutions to our world's energy and climate crises, a campaign to get our veterans the fair shake they deserve ... and other campaigns to get our country on a more sensible, progressive footing. And we need help to achieve all of this. This is a classic "get paid while you do work you believe in" situation.

Here's the job description:
The team at JohnKerry.com seeks a strong writer to further our progressive political goals through Internet communications channels. A successful candidate will be able to write very strong copy on a short turnaround, implementing the goals and strategies of an overall communications plan. The candidate should also have a familiarity with email communications to large groups in a professional setting and be able to demonstrate an understanding of the best practices in email list management. Experience in political online organizing a plus. Duties include:Design and implement email communications, online written communications, and online advertising. Measure and produce reports on effectiveness of all campaigns using spreadsheets and other databases. Test, analyze and optimize email campaigns' rate of opens, click-thru and overall response. Test, analyze and optimize online advertising, both creative and venue to achieve highest marketing ROI. Work closely with Data Steward to segment lists for maximum communications efficiency.
So, there ya go. As I said yesterday on Kos, since, essentially, I am an activist who joined this effort, I wanted to reach out to all of y'all here to see if there was anyone else with the right skills who wanted to join us. And this place probably has a higher concentration of political hacks of any blog around ...
