Time to donate to MoveOn.org
Bush & Co. is about to unload on Kerry. We need to make sure our voice is heard. Let's give to MoveOn.org tonight so they can fight for our candidate tomorrow.

Even $20 helps.

https://www.moveon.org/donatec4/creditcard.html

Now it is game on. We have our guy and they have their's. Let's not let them get away from us. Please donate today.

1. Do you think they help or hurt?
IMO, they will help Rove marginalize Kerry... I wont be giving them one red cent... They are not beholden to the party or to Kerry.. they are dangerous.. running on their own ideals and cause and McCain's lame ass law is the cause.

2. Not being beholden to a party can be a good thing.
I think that countering *'s 100 million is a good thing. Is it better to just let the administration's charges run unchecked? Never.

5. I dont smoke crack and I dont support
unbeholden special interest groups who are in the process who will assist Rove in pointing at Move on and declaring them Kerry.

I will bet money that is what will happen. They will hurt.. not help.

4. I guess you do not realize how powerful their ads have been so far.
I am really surprised you would say that. Their ads and the Uncovered movie have done a lot toward bringing down Bush's ratings. That is probably why McCain is going after such groups.

So you think we should do nothing? Just sit and pander to the GOP?

Go to their site and view the ads they have run. They are powerful.

7. I've seen em.. I dislike the group..
Just my opinion... What you guys do is up to you.

I've been a political watcher for a long time like most here... I think they are a liability.

If you must give, give to Kerry, he'll put it to good use.

thats the spot.

10. They will help
Let Rove point at them. Their commercials are some of the best political ads out this season. We need to remind people about who is going to pay for this debt that they have run up.

I understand being careful with special interests, but, IMHO, they have proven themselves time and time again to be able to deliver a strong message in a smart way.

Still do or don't do whatever you want with your money.

8. Because they have some of the best ads already in the can
And ready to start running now. Kerry does not have this. It will take him a couple weeks to get to this point. Starting Thursday, Bush & Co. are going to start buying ads and we need to have a response.

I think people should give to Kerry also.

12. I guess we will just have to disagree
I do disagree that MoveOn is a fringe group, but to each his own.

16. If I had a credit card I would...
Moveon ads are very good for being anti-Bush. They won't support Kerry directly because he can do that himself.
