MoveOn.org lives on
From the e-mail list for the Angry Left group MoveOn.org, yesterday the following missive arrived, bearing the name of Eli Pariser:
"Today, as Bush's corporate donors celebrate their victory, it may feel like the progressive America we're all fighting for is very far away. But it doesn't have to be that way.
"In 1994, just two years after a big presidential defeat, Republicans with a pro-corporate, right-wing agenda swept to power in the House. From there, they gained control of all three branches of government. It's our turn. If we can convert the passion and energy of the progressive movement we've built together into power on the ground, we can take back Congress and make 2006 our 1994.
"Today, we're launching our plan to do that. Together, MoveOn members will build an organized network of neighbors and friends in every Congressional district to stop the Bush agenda. We'll organize press events, we'll hold living room meetings with our neighbors, and we'll meet with local leaders on the issues we care about most--Social Security, right-wing judges, media reform, and more. We'll develop a national message together."
"The issues we care about most" turn out to be all negative: preventing Social Security reform, stopping "right-wing judges" and "media reform," which means sitting around bitching about "conservative bias."

I guess that the Soros money which funds MoveOn.org isn't considered "corporate" if he got much of it thru currency manipulation.
