MoveOn warns ‘We might have to pull the plug’

May 30, 2012 -- 1:35 PM

MoveOn, a giant in the progressive political world and an early endorser of Barack Obama in 2008, warns that it might have to “pull the plug” on key campaigns to help Obama and Senate Democrats if its 5 million members don’t pony up with at least $5.

Without a rush of new cash, MoveOn says it will have to give up efforts to elect Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, help the recall fight against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and energize younger voters who’ve soured on Washington.

“It's like picking which of your kids you love the most. I just can't do it,” said MoveOn in an email plea. “If we can’t increase our budget, we might have to dramatically scale back or pull the plug on some of MoveOn’s most important election efforts this year.”

The homepage of MoveOn, which helped organize the 2004 anti-war movement, includes a “chip in” button preset at $8.

Don’t discount the importance of MoveOn to keeping the Democrats in charge of the Senate and Obama in office, said the email, which provided a little history of the successes of the group:

Oh, ain't that a shame? :sosad: :ha: :evillaugh:

In the comments section at the Examiner, someone told a joke:

I'm torn.

I for one love to see idiots separated from their money. And I would love even more to see millions of their dollars flushed down the drain in losing campaigns. But I'd also love to see MoveOn fail.

What to root for?????

 :confused:

Their startup & most of their money came from Soros.  Has he cut them off?  And, if so, why has he cut them off?

Maybe he knows Obama will lose and figures that it is a waste of money.

You mean, "God will call The Obamessiah home if their fundraising goals aren't met"?  Hell, I can think of nothing that would get me to sit on my wallet - burn it, if necessary - faster than that.  :naughty:
