"I made the 'Vote Different' ad because I wanted to express my feelings about the Democratic primary, and because I wanted to show that an individual citizen can affect the process," de Vellis wrote.
Philip de Vellis, a strategist with Blue State Digital, acknowledged that he was the creator of the video. De Vellis said he resigned from the firm on Wednesday after he learned that he was about to be unmasked by liberal pundit Arianna Huffington on her Web site, HuffingtonPost.com.
Blue State Digital's Managing Director, Thomas Gensemer, released a statement Wednesday, saying that de Vellis had created the ad on his own time, and he had been "terminated" pursuant to company policy.
"It was done without the knowledge of management, and was in no way tied to his work at the firm or our formal engagement [on technology pursuits] with the Obama campaign."

I don't believe he needs a defense -- but he must of thought one was needed as he was "terminated the day after he resigned"
