This article speaks for me regarding Moveon. Remember in 2008 how Moveon held the bogus "election" among its members to determine if the organization would support Hillary or BO. Low and behold - Obama won (what a crock!), and Moveon devoted it's mega-resources to the inexperienced, male, while kicking the experienced female to the curb. I resigned from Moveon at that time, and have never given them another dime. I still get emails from them from time to time regarding this issue or that. Every time I get an email, my key board is smoking, as I tell that sorry pos organization just how low I think they are. lol Even though I know no one reads my replies, it's great fun to give them hell all over again. lol Moveon kicking progressives (and not blue dogs) for Obama’s agenda March 14, 2010 in Bobots, Jr.jr, activism, healthcare, hypocrisy | Tags: activism, B0bots, flip-flop, hypocrisy, Moveon, propaganda
Having taking active part in the splitting of the party during the CEO engineered primary, Moveon has been for the most part quiet about all the turns to the right for the administration they helped. Now however, they go to the next step: protesting a progressive Rep for not submitting to Obama’s corporate interests Yesterday, Moveon.org’s Cleveland Council and the Universal Health Care Action Network announced its members will hold a demonstration on Tuesday afternoon outside Kucinich’s Lakewood office, the day after President Obama visits a Strongsville recreation center in Kucinich’s district to restate his case for health care reform. How dare Kuchinich hold out for singe payer? In Bobotland there is some dissatisfaction. Here’s the headline MoveON has received it’s marching orders . (and they can kiss my behind) We hear from ex-members some just like me
When they endorsed Obama for President during the primaries, I moved on and dropped my membership. I would have dropped my membership if they had supported Clinton or Edwards as well. Let the party endorse. Let newspapers endorse, women’s groups, labor groups, and others. MoveOn’s hands were tied by an endorsement. It hampered their abilities to get our issues out in front. Clearly, none of our candidates were that far left of center, based on their statements and records. It was up to MoveOn to push our candidates to the left, not to spend time defending them when they took the side of corporations or other big money interests. Let them endorse the nominee AFTER the convention, as long as they still hold him accountable! MoveOn was supposed to be a watchdog for the people! some also of the same mind as me Me too. I hosted several “Bake Back the Whitehouse” fundraisers at my business
and raised over $1,300 for them, but this is going too far. We stopped donating to them when they failed to act on the election fraud in Ohio.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less. ~Susan B. Anthony
