Moving On, quite nicely, thank you very much

Thought I would pass along this email I received. A little late, I received it last Friday -- hadn't checked this email inbox in a few days -- But thought you may like to know, MoveOn was DeadOn, when it came to Betray Us.

Keep the anti-American, troop-hating Chickenhawks (the 27%ers') riled up, and you can raise some serious cash.

Dear MoveOn member,

Yesterday, an amazing thing happened. After the Senate's shameful vote, and after President Bush called MoveOn "disgusting,"1 our email started to fill up with messages like this one:

I'm currently in Iraq. I do not agree with this war, and if I did support this war, it would not matter. You have the RIGHT to speak the truth. We KNOW that you support us. Thank you for speaking out for being our voice. We do not have a voice. We are overshooted by those who say that we soldiers do not support organizations like MoveOn. WE DO.

YOU ARE OUR voice.

And then came the donations. By midnight, over 12,000 people had donated $500,000--more than we've raised any day this year--for our new ad calling out the Republicans who blocked adequate rest for troops headed back to Iraq.

The message from MoveOn members was loud and clear: Don't back down. Take the fight back to the issues that matter.
