Don't you all think you could have chosen something that isn't very similar sounding to Congressman J.C. Watts American Renewal PAC? People are going to think you are Congressman's Watts' site! I know I did!

I am sure the honorable Dr. Keyes will rectify this situation as soon as possible. After all, he would never do anything the least bit weaselish.

Gosh darn, what an amazing coincidence! I wonder what the odds are of this happening?

LOL.... well I bet it didn't take long to figure out that it wasn't or anything close to it.....

I'm the creator of RenewAmerica.tv--and I can assure everyone that this new Keyes site is not imitative of J.C. Watts' American Renewal PAC or his website. The Alan Keyes' RenewAmerica movement began during the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in August 2000, and it borrowed its theme from the "Renew America Rallies" that Alan Keyes had held throughout his run for the Presidency during the primaries.

Fully 18 months went into the creation of the Keyes site, independently of any other political entity, movement, organization, or cause. The focus from the outset--as the site itself will reveal to an open-minded examination--was to strengthen ALL OTHER Americanist movements and organizations through effective cooperation. The site exists not to compete with (nor to rip off), but to enhance the work of all other comparable sites. The site is deadly serious about wanting to bring like-minded Americans together and overcome an unfortunate, counterproductive climate of carping and nipping among conservatives.

Patriotic citizens need to unite in preserving our nation--or we won't have a nation much longer.

You might be interested to know that when I was in Washington DC back in March, I personally gave J.C. Watts a business card promoting the RenewAmerica.tv website on the steps of the Capitol and inviting him to visit it. He graciously accepted the card. I have nothing but respect for this great and good man.

You've piqued my interest, though. I've never seen J.C.'s website, but I'm curious to know whether there are any "coincidental" similarities between his and Alan Keyes'.

Finally, there are several organizations out there using the Renew America theme. We were lucky to acquire the URL RenewAmerica.tv two weeks before we ever learned that MSNBC wanted Alan to have his own television show. The URL acquisition turned out to be Providential.

That's the point. If you can't be original and get there on your own, ride someone else's coattails!
