'''The Vanguard.Org''' was launched in March 2006 as an organization by founder and Chairman [[Rod Martin|Rod D. Martin]] as a challenge to [[MoveOn.org]]. [http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19084] The web address [http://www.whois.ws/whois-org/ip-address/thevanguard.org/ dates to May 1998].
The organization has "a top-drawer cast, including Silicon Valley heavy-hitters like [[Eric Jackson]] (a former PayPal colleague of Martin's, where he was head of marketing) and [[Gil Amelio]] (former CEO of two Fortune 500 companies, including Apple Computer) ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Amelio bio]), among others," Stephanie Dube [http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19004 wrote] January 17, 2007, for ''Human Events Online''. Many of TheVanguard's staff and advisors are members of the secretive conservative group the [[Council for National Policy.]].
Martin "has both entrepreneurial—he worked for the Internet commerce site PayPal—and movement experience—he is a member of the [[Federalist Society]] and the secretive [[Council on National Policy]] among other far right groups," Bill Berkowitz [http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=36768 wrote] February 28, 2007, for Inter Press Service.
