From the official press release:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Newt Gingrich has
indicated that running for president would now be “last resort” but that
hasn’t stopped a new nationwide effort from forming to urge him to run for
the presidency.“Today, we are launching a major nationwide grassroots presidential
draft effort, in the spirit of Reagan and Goldwater, to urge Newt Gingrich
to run for the Republican Presidential nomination,” said campaign founder
David W. Kralik.The “Draft Newt” effort will take advantage of the latest in online
political trends by using its web site, as the
primary vehicle for grassroots organization. Contributions to the campaign
will be used in communications strategies to persuade Gingrich to seek and
win the Republican nomination for president.“Gingrich’s entry into the Republican primary will set him aside as the
conservative alternative to those currently running,” Kralik said. “His
bold ideas and energy will raise the standards for all presidential
aspirants and help the Republican party work to regain America’s trust.“America offers great hope for those who believe rightly that the world
is a very dangerous place. We have real challenges. We have a wonderful
country that can solve these challenges. Gingrich has the experience and
solutions that our country needs right now.”
The official site is appropriately named DraftNewt.org.
