MoveOn Fundraising Against Anti-Health Care Dems

[Bravo Zulu]

In a warning shot to wavering Democrats, the progressive action group MoveOn.org is making a major push to raise money on behalf of primary challengers to those House lawmakers who vote against health care reform.

The group is set to blast out an email to its five million member list Monday asking recipients to pledge anywhere from $25 to $200 (or more) for the purposes of defeating conservative Democrats who help defeat the legislation.

"Health care reform is in serious danger in the House of Representatives: with a handful of conservative Democrats wavering, we don't yet have the votes to pass the final bill," reads the email, which was sent in advance to the Huffington Post. "So we're asking every MoveOn member: will you pledge to support progressive primary challengers to House Democrats who side with Republicans to kill health care reform?

2. It's a shame it has come to this. Dammit.

That's all. Such a lot of money being thrown down the rathole of TV/radio advertising.

3. Where were these people when single payer was ruled out and and when

the public option was axed? Because that was the point where actual reform was under discussion.

And more practically, has anyone checked the filing deadlines or is this $ to be spent at MoveOn's discretion?

6. Strangely silent. I do believe they have joined the Message Discipline Team.

They're getting nada from me. And I've removed myself from their list.

4. Ironic that the House turns out to be the only bastion of progressivism/liberalism...

I just hope that Pelosi decides to go for it, despite pressure to cave from Obama...
