moveon.org's momentum
the closer we get to election time, the more i grow to like moveon.org.
initially, it was second only to paris hilton as a source of e-mails i was most likely not to read, but lately i've been taking the time to open up the stuff they send me.
and they're getting shit done, too... just got this encouraging little tidbit...
*from moveon*
our phone calls and emails helped win a real victory last week. After CBS rejected our Voter Fund's Super Bowl ad, we learned that the White House was being allowed to air an advocacy ad about Medicare. We told you about it, and in just a few days over 50,000 MoveOn members called and emailed to complain. On Friday, CBS pulled the ad, stating that it had violated their policy. It's a big win, and a powerful blow to the Bush Administration's campaign to cover up its Medicare sellout.
it's nice to see political mobilisation that results in something other than petitions to remove, like, the "gay teletubby" or some bullshit like that. bravo...
