Reply #5: MoveOn should support Tasini [View All]

[Cornus]

There is no reason why NY can't do what CT did. MoveOn supported Lamont but has not come out to support Tasini, who is even more progressive.

Here is an email I sent to MoveOn the other day:

I've been a MoveOn supporter since it was first established. Since Jonathan Tasini's positions are so similar to Ned Lamont's, I'm just wondering why you are not giving him the same support that you gave to Ned Lamont. He is a true progressive and deserves our support.

Our NY state primary is in one month. Unfortunately, Tasini and his platform does not have the same *name recognition* as Clinton's. His views deserve to be heard and it seems that there is a conserted effort to silence him.

Please do all you can to insure that NY voters know about Jonathan Tasini so that they can make an informed decision.

Thank you,

As of this moment no one from MoveOn has gotten back to me. Since they supported Lamont in CT, that alone should have them supporting Tasini in NY.

I'm reconsidering my continued support of MoveOn.
