Has MoveOn.org jumped the shark? [View All]

[crispini]

I just got yet ANOTHER email from MoveOn asking for dough for a contribution so they could run yet another ad. This one is about the bankruptcy bill. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that almost all I get lately from MoveOn is 1) cough up some dough or 2) sign this petition. Donate, sign, donate, sign, donate, sign. It's just starting to seem old. In the run up to the 2004 election, the houseparties and the decentralized phone banks to register voters or encourage people to come out to vote, the video previews and all of that stuff -- it just seemed much more, well, FUN and enthusiastic back then than the stuff they're doing now is.

Am I imagining it, or does anyone else feel like this? I wonder why this is?

Edited to add: Nobody seems to be getting my point, which is that they're still asking us to do stuff but the stuff they're asking us to do is much more ordinary than it used to be. Just seemed to me like they had some really creative ideas (the bake sale, etc.) which they don't anymore.
