I got this post sent to me from disinfo.com RSS, which points to a National Review article. I followed the link to www.johnkerry.com where I noticed the gear page is still up and running. Any ideas on what he might have up his sleeve?

Kerry: Join My Campaign
Nine weeks after his defeat, the Massachusetts senator is up and running.
Former Democratic candidate John Kerry has sent out what might be seen as the first political appeal of a possible 2008 presidential campaign.
In an e-mail addressed to supporters nationwide, Kerry asks that his campaign workers and volunteers reunite in a drive to force President Bush to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "I believe that together, the three million of us who worked together on the campaign can help the troops," Kerry writes. "We not only have a right to speak out against failed Bush policies: we have a duty to defend this country from a President who refuses to recognize the total inadequacy of his own Defense Secretary. That's how democracy works."
Kerry also introduced an anti-Rumsfeld Internet petition, addressed to President Bush, at his new campaign-style website, www.johnkerry.com. Kerry describes the site as "a community of online activists, first brought together in the heat of the 2004 presidential campaign," who today "continue to work side-by-side to rewrite the book on grassroots politics."
On the site, Kerry accuses the Bush administration of "advancing a right-wing assault on the values and ideals we hold most deeply." To his supporters, he says, "I understand the strength, commitment, and passion that are at the core of what we built together — and I am determined to make our collective energy and organization a force to be reckoned with in the weeks and months ahead. Let's roll up our sleeves and get back to work for our country." (more at link above)
