Is MoveOn.org in the river of denial? [View All]

[Helga Scow Stern]

I got an e-mail the other day suggesting I host a house party this Sunday, to discuss possible future directions for MoveOn and its members. I signed up, and within a few hours I had 11 people responding to the MoveOn site (most of whom I've never met). Today there are 20. But when I read the instruction guide just posted by MoveOn, I question the wisdom of such a meeting:

We are at a strategic crossroads. George Bush’s narrow victory gives us an opportunity to step back and look for new ideas, new strategies, and new leadership. And we know that the best solutions will come not from “experts” and political consultants but from all of us, thinking together. That's why it's so important that we both celebrate the incredibly hard work so many of us did, and talk together about the next steps for MoveOn and the progressive movement. MoveOn's direction for the next few years will flow from the feedback we gather through these parties. So thanks for taking the time to make this possible!

After reading this truth-missing outlook, I decided I had better communicate to the people coming that I consider election fraud to be the crucial issue, and that it's pointless at this time to discuss the political future without first addressing whether or not we even have a democracy. I copied the Summary of Voter Fraud that Eloriel and others have posted.

On the other hand, maybe it's a strategy on their part, to let the initiative come from their members, not from the top. We will see.

Does anyone know what is up with them?
