Thank You to MoveOn.Org
I just wanted to say thank you to Moveon.org, one of the most effective progessive organizations out there. I know they've been criticized recently, but I want to let them know that there are many many people who really appreciate the hard work they do every day to make the world a better place. And I'd also like to say what a relief it is to see a progressive organization criticized for fighting too hard for what they believe in, rather than for being too cautious. I'm really sick of those who are too cautious.

So thanks again, Moveon.org. We really appreciate what you do, and we have your back.

12. I admire them for speaking out but they still appear a paper tiger.

Noone has ended this war yet.

Like I said, George W Bush said to George HW Bush "I'm going to leave the next president holding the Iraq bag Dad."

They receive so much crap. I'm so glad they're on our side.

10. While I don't always agree with moveon.org...

I sure do appreciate what a great idea it was, and continues to be. I am proud to support many of the candidates and ads they spotlight financially. Moveon.org has become a forum for the independent, non-corporate influenced, progressive majority of the Democratic Party, a much needed opportunity to join together to significantly impact positively the political process. I am happy that they do not march in lockstep with the DNC and the other Demo Party "power brokers", who rely on their corporate backing, and cash, to control the party to the detriment of almost everybody.

About the only person in the political arena I do agree with is Dennis Kucinich, who may just be too wonderful and honest to have a chance in our relentlessly anti-democratic, Democratic Party. Hopefully moveon.org can keep DK's candidacy and message alive as the corporate run Demo party apparatus and the oligopoly mainstream media attempt to silence and marginalize DK.

11. Don't we wish our Dem leadership was as bold........
Here we have all the illegal activities of this administration, and these hearings dragging out without arriving at any conclusions like indictments or impeachments. I see this as reason to believe that they will continue the policies of the Republicans, and the "swamp" will be still as full as ever!

15. I second that emotion; better to be criticized for what was done than for what was not done.
