MoveOn Moves to '08

MoveOn just offered its members a 2007 year-in-review in a cool, new way. It's not the bulleted email so many of us are used to (hell, I've sent those myself) recounting successes and challenges. It's a video, conveniently posted to...

What Has the Senate Just Done?

We keep asking you to remind Congress that only they -- not the President -- can authorize war with Iran. Did they take our message -- and just authorize it? By passing the Lieberman-Kyl Amendment (which Nicole discussed yesterday) 76-22,...

How Will They Spend All That Spare Political Capital?

So half of the Senate Dems joined the GOP and censured MoveOn -- for an ad that was right. Pundits like to talk about the Sista Souljah moment, when Bill Clinton took a swipe at his base...thus showing his independence....

Cowards

The Senate just overwhelmingly censured MoveOn. The Senate is filled with cowards, many of whom have just -- in the words of the controversial ad -- betrayed us. McCarthyism is back...who wants to be censured next?...

Your Tax Dollars at Work

Senate Republicans are seriously pushing a resolution to censure MoveOn. Why? Because MoveOn challenged General Petraeus. They'll say it's because MoveOn called Petraeus a "traitor" -- which they didn't (and even if they had, censure by the Senate?). They'll say...

It's Almost Too Much Progress

While the President broke from his script with his joyous declaration that "We're kicking ass" with the surge, normally he stays to his notes to more somberly declare: "We're making progress." MoveOn thinks we've heard this claim before...and their new...
