MoveOn Eco-NAZIs at it again
And so it goes out there with the MySpace/Facebook /Gen-Y crowd... 
Richard's $.02
Dear MoveOn member,
So far, we've spent $700 billion dollars bailing out Wall Street. And what do we get? Banks throwing lavish parties, CEOs taking vacations on corporate jets, and now AIG's fat bonuses.
It's time to try something different. Instead of just waiting for bailout money to trickle down, we ought to be putting Americans back to work in the jobs of the future—high-paying green jobs that can't be outsourced.
Building a new energy economy is a centerpiece of President Obama's agenda for change, but Big Oil and Coal are already throwing up roadblocks. So we've launched Power Up America, a huge grassroots campaign to demand that Congress invest in green jobs and clean energy instead of corporate giveaways and tax breaks.
We've already got organizers on the ground, helping MoveOn members to run powerful local campaigns targeting key senators and representatives. But we need to raise $200,000 this week to keep it going—can you chip in $15 a month to help out? Click here:
Yes, I can chip in monthly.
No, I can't do that right now.
It's easy to sign up to make monthly donations and you can cancel at any time.
While the dirty energy industry is relying on high-priced lobbyists to swarm Capitol Hill, we've got a grassroots strategy: organize MoveOn members to remind our elected representatives that they work for us, not Wall Street or Big Oil.
In the last few weeks we've tripled the number of skilled community organizers MoveOn has working with members around the country. So we'll be able to run three times as many actions targeting members of Congress, and we'll make them three times as effective.
We're concentrating our efforts in states and districts with swing votes in Congress, organizing letter-to-the-editor drives, recruiting small businesses to speak out, and putting members of Congress on record with their positions on a new energy economy.
But even on a shoestring budget, we need to raise $200,000 this week to ramp up the campaign to full strength. More than 10,000 MoveOn members are already monthly donors. Can you join them with a donation of $15 each month? Click here:
Yes, I'll chip in monthly: https://pol.moveon.org/donate/mar09....62-DYZUM2x&t=5
No, I can't right now: http://www.moveon.org/r?r=51249&id=1...62-DYZUM2x&t=6
Thanks for all you do.
