Our dirty little secret?
"The Democratic Party is partnering with MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, Campaign for America's Future, and dozens of other groups representing millions of Americans to organize a massive public mobilization. On Wednesday, May 14, join us by calling and emailing your representatives in Congress to let them know that the majority of Americans oppose more irresponsible tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the wealthiest sliver of Americans."

Paid for by the Democratic National Committee — 430 S. Capitol St. SE, Washington DC 20003.

Second paragraph from the bottom.

1. I have no problems with Republican 527's......
I only have a problem with those that lie and smear. When MoveOn says something untrue about George, I'll condemn it. Problem is, the facts about him are more than enough to sink him.

2. What's wrong with it???
It's perfectly legal and does not endorse, nor disparage a particular candidate for office. It does take aim at a particular cause, in this case "irresponsible tax cuts" but that is an issue, not a candidate.

3. They aren't collaborating on a campaign covered by the FEC
As I understand the laws regarding 527's, the prohibition is on collaboration between the 527 and a campaign (since campaign funding is regulated).

There aren't such regulations regarding collaborating on general matters where the issue of FEC campaign funding does not come up.

Am I right?

4. MoveOn gets donations from the citizens of the U.S.
us - they are our only voice - just a way for the Repubs to drag every group into the mud with them - to silence us all. Forgedaboutit.

5. What's dirty about that?
Pales in comparison to outright libel against a man.

If MoveOne was saying that George Bush sucked dicks inside of coffins in the Skull & Bones, or that he snorted coke off a stripper's butt, it would be comparable.

MoveOn has only told the truth about POS Bush and his pathetic record of failure and murder.
