	MoveOn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MoveOn is not connected with "MoveOnForAmerica", a conservative organization with a confusingly similar name that was set up by Stephen Marks, a Republican political consultant, and which was criticized for the falsehoods in its advertisements attacking John Kerry.
		More than 400 meetings have taken place." [19] MoveOn has collaborated with groups like Meetup.com in organizing street demonstrations, bake sales, house parties and other opportunities for people to meet personally and act collectively in their own communities.
		MoveOn then edited the image to make it appear that they were in US military fatigues [6], sparking even more ridicule from critics.

	Move On - an "anti-Bush" group" that supports Bush's "War on Terror"
		MoveOn is funded in large part by the multi-billionaire George Soros, who recently helped topple a government in the path of an oil pipeline that the US wants to control.
		MoveOn's sabotage of the grassroots impeachment efforts (at the time that the Berkeley, CA City Council was considering a vote to urge impeachment) fits with their overall strategy to expose scandal to replace Bush with Bush-lite (Kerry?) but not to actually interfere too much with what the empire is doing.
		MoveOn is a core part of the Democratic party wing of the establishment to co-opt and muzzle dissent, an effort to support the CIA's fight with the Bush administration to ensure that dissent stays limited enough to ensure "regime rotation" instead of "regime change" in November.

	how to change the world in three easy clicks by Don Hazen & Tai Moses - Moveon.org
		They have the addresses of all MoveOn members and can organize them into order by zip code-plus-four, an incredible asset in political campaigns.
		MoveOn’s most dramatic achievement was to turn its Internet machine—focused on petitions, e-mails to policy makers, and raising and distributing campaign contributions—into face-to-face activism and grassroots media buying, the kind of activities that make politicians sit up and take notice.
		MoveOn’s ultimate goal is to build a sustainable political movement in the U.S., one that will help elect progressive politicians and hold them accountable afterward.

	Big donors bankroll grassroots politics / Bay Area's MoveOn defends its practices
		MoveOn directors say the group very much remains a grassroots organization, and they assert that the average donation from their 160,000 supporters is about $60.
		Still, MoveOn announced last week that it was launching a new fund- raising drive, using a new political action committee in place of the nonprofit organization.
		MoveOn officials say the large donations are within the law and demonstrate that campaign finance reforms have worked, because that money is no longer going directly to candidates or parties who are offering access or influence in exchange for it.

	MoveOn.org: No Longer a Start-up or an Upstart Personal Democracy Forum
		For her part, Blades said, members convinced MoveOn to continue and that when the organization was formally organized and started in 2000, it had made no plans to work past the end of the 2000 election cycle—some time in 2001 when the books would be closed.
		"When you have an organization that's as broad as MoveOn's is – and it's as broad as their imaginations – it's going to frustrate people," says one Washington-based political insider, issuing what might be the ultimate back-handed compliment.
		MoveOn was a brand new toy that came with all the "save the world" trappings that the less technologically sophisticated expect from the software and computer businesses.

	AlterNet: On the Spot: Moving On with MoveOn
		It wasn't clear whether MoveOn would abide by a majority vote from its members, if there even was one clear winner, or if it would just take all that feedback into consideration when figuring out their next move.
		But MoveOn had been so successful partly because so many people were willing to put aside their specific agendas and issues and focus on electing progressive candidates.
		After dealing with their own sense of electoral loss and recognizing some of the smaller victories from election day, the staff at MoveOn realized that they didn't know what was next.

	USATODAY.com - After election setback, MoveOn girds for battles ahead
		In the short term, MoveOn's leaders say its mission remains the same: mobilizing rapid response on issues of concern to the organization, from the Iraq war to future battles over Social Security privatization and nominations to the U.S. Supreme Court.
		Just a year ago, the Berkeley-based MoveOn was hailed by many as "the next big thing" in political organizing.
		For his part, Boyd said MoveOn would always remain a "progressive, populist" organization that represents both a broad cross-section of middle America, with many members brand new to the political process.

	Rolling Stone : The Online Insurgency
		MoveOn insists it knows the difference between messages shrill enough to stoke the fires of activists in San Francisco and ones levelheaded enough to win the hearts and minds of working-class folk in Scranton.
		First, MoveOn is ditching the traditional Democratic model of using paid canvassers, whom the group derides for blowing into town every four years "like the occasional tornado." Instead, it plans to emulate Karl Rove -- building a permanent field campaign, staffed by MoveOn volunteers reaching out to their neighbors.
		MoveOn committed a series of costly blunders last fall: It failed to remove two entries that compared Bush to Hitler from its online ad contest, and its expensive television spots barely registered in the campaign.

	CBS News Defeat Bush? A 30-Second Solution January 13, 2004 20:09:32
		More important than when it airs may be that the ad tries to solve a challenge facing MoveOn: How to appeal to a wide audience of voters while still capturing their members' deep resentment of the president's policies.
		Campaign finance watchdogs, meanwhile, are worried that MoveOn is one of a number of groups that will funnel massive political spending that undermines the McCain-Feingold reforms.
		That resentment was on full display Monday during MoveOn's awards extravaganza at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom, from comedian Margaret Cho lambasting the "Repugnant National Committee" to Public Enemy front-man Chuck D suggesting the U.S. government had become a "cancer on civilization."

	The Seattle Times: Paul Andrews: MoveOn.org moves into neighborhood
		The relocation (he lived here in the early 1990s) was more for family reasons than organizational; a virtual entity, MoveOn can be run from just about anywhere.
		Perhaps MoveOn's prime contribution has been to show an alternative path to political action — beyond the voice mail, TV ads and junk mail that have numbed many to the electoral process.
		Still, Seattle is a MoveOn stronghold, and Ruben's arrival is giving a lift to regional progressives deflated by November election results.

	Censored at the Super Bowl - Newsweek Entertainment - MSNBC.com
		MoveOn, which is dedicated to getting Big Money out of politics, Big Business out of the media and the Bushes out of the White House, last fall ran a nationwide contest for the best 30-second advertisement criticizing the Bush administration's policies.
		MoveOn distanced itself from the Hitler ads but the attention paid to the incident made one thing clear: MoveOn wasn't afraid to ruffle some feathers to get its message across.
		In a statement, the network said it based its MoveOn decision on a "decades-old" policy of preventing "those with means to produce and purchase network advertising from having undue influence on 'controversial issues of public importance'." "Child's Pay," in other words, attacked the Bush administration without giving the Bush administration an equal chance to respond.

	Wired News: MoveOn Moves Up in the World
		MoveOn and other organizations also launched a "virtual march" against the war, flooding the Senate and White House switchboards with more than a million phone calls, faxes and e-mails.
		But MoveOn founders Blades and Boyd never intended to get involved in politics or take on Bill O'Reilly and George Bush.
		Today, with no office and no formal organization other than a website and a handful of staff members spread around the country, MoveOn has amassed more than 2 million members and raised millions of dollars for candidates.

	TAP: Web Feature: Net Worth. by Harold Meyerson. June 19, 2003.
		Candidates would answer questions that MoveOn put to them, and if one of them managed to pull a majority of the members' votes, the organization would endorse him.
		MoveOn's staff offers only the most cautious projections, but political operatives sound awestruck as they contemplate what the numbers could be.
		In last Thursday's e-mail, MoveOn stated that one reason it wanted to try for an endorsement now was to help its endorsee, should one emerge, rake in some megabucks before the June 30 contribution reporting deadline.

	Feel-Good Politics - The therapeutic activism of MoveOn.org. By Chris Suellentrop
		MoveOn, however, isn't an organization so much as an outlet.
		MoveOn has turned itself into a perpetual motion machine, one that's great at inspiring its members to engage in the political version of treadmill running but never goes anywhere.
		During all that time, MoveOn hasn't come in for much of a beating, even though the group created the occasional distracting controversy for John Kerry, such as a short flap over a MoveOn ad that featured an American soldier drowning in quicksand.

		Although MoveOn now uses some advanced technology to support its operations, readers should note that just like many small organizations, it started with a single email and commitment to serve member interests and facilitate their involvement in issues of concern to them.
		The Nonprofit Quarterly's editor in chief, Ruth McCambridge, recently conducted an interview with Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn PAC (http://www.moveonpac.org/) about MoveOn's very successful approach to citizen engagement and fundraising.
		We tend to do our fundraising around concrete opportunities -- it's not a "Help us fund MoveOn for the next five years" message.

	LA Weekly: Columns: Dissonance: Weaker Than Ever
		The attendees at the MoveOn parties were asked to vote on what they think are the most important issues to be pursued over the next four years.
		Notably missing from the recipe dashed out by the MoveOn meetings are anything resembling an aggressive agenda that directly confronts the phony populism of the Republicans.
		Because while Bush didn’t beat MoveOn, he sure as hell whipped MoveOn’s candidate which, the last time I checked, is the only thing that counts in an election.

		The MoveOn ad is to begin airing on the day that Roberts' confirmation hearings begin in the Senate.

		Roberts, a former government lawyer who argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court while in private practice, has been under scrutiny since he was nominated to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in July.
