MoveOn.org is a political action group with over 3.3 million members, of which I have been one since 2002. Their original function was to bring real Americans back into the political process. And it worked. But...
It appears that MoveOn.org has reached "Washington Insider" status and has been somehow corrupted by the system. While their members are anti-Iraq War/Treasury-looting, and are willing to defund the war if that's what it takes to get our soldiers out of the meat grinder, MoveOn.org has taken a "continue funding the war" position. This flies in the face of MoveOn's member's wishes.
Like Nancy "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi, MoveOn.org has evolved into controlled opposition for the NeoCon war-profitiing machine.
"MoveOn put out a dishonest poll that did not offer its members a real choice to end the war, and now the peace movement is lobbying activists to reform MoveOn or drop off its list," said David Swanson, a board member of Progressive Democrats of America, said in an e-mail to The Politico. "I unsubscribed from MoveOn this morning."
I will also be unsubscribing today. The link you see to the right will remain, but will link to this post.
Goodbye, MoveOn.org.
Ok, time to reorganize.
