History

Main article: History of MoveOn.org

MoveOn started in 1998 as an email group, MoveOn.org, created by computer entrepreneurs Joan Blades and Wes Boyd, the married cofounders of Berkeley Systems. They started by passing around a petition asking Congress to "censure President Clinton and move on", as opposed to impeaching him. The petition, passed around by word of mouth, was extremely successful; ultimately, they had half a million signatures.^{[citation needed]} Buoyed by their success, the couple went on to start similar campaigns, including: calling for more arms inspections rather than an invasion of Iraq (see Popular opposition to war on Iraq); the reinstatement of lower limits on arsenic and mercury pollution, and campaign finance reform. Since then, it has raised millions of dollars for many Democratic candidates.^[3] In November 2007, a drive spearheaded by MoveOn caused Facebook to change its controversial new "Beacon" program, which notified Facebook users about purchases by people on their friends list.^[6] The history of MoveOn, one of the most successful Internet-based political groups in the United States, began with its opposition to the impeachment of U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1998. ...

Organizing methodology

MoveOn uses e-mail as its main conduit for communicating with members, sending action alerts at least once a week. It communicates primarily through a variation on a chain letter: Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...

The MoveOn website also uses multi-media, including videos, audio downloads and images. In addition to communicating via the Internet, MoveOn advertises using traditional print and broadcast media as well as billboards, bus signs and bumper stickers, digital versions of which are downloadable from its website. It also contains an area called the "Action Forum", which functions much like a traditional electronic discussion group. The Action Forums act as a grassroots organization allowing members to propose priorites and strategies."^[7]

Through this grassroots methodology, MoveOn collaborates with groups like Meetup.com in organizing street demonstrations, bake sales, house parties and other opportunities for people to meet personally and act collectively in their own communities.^[8] Meetup. ...

Some of the core principles of MoveOn are:

• Moveon is not dependent on foundation money.
• The ability to use 'hard money' – as opposed to grants and tax-deductible contributions – enables them to be partisan, contribute to political campaigns and exercise clout in the political process.

Changes in federal election laws have also impacted groups like MoveOn. The McCain/Feingold election finance reform legislation, which went into effect in 2002, allowed political parties to raise larger amounts of "hard money" contributions, but were forbidden from raising "soft money" — As a result, individuals who sought to influence the 2004 election gave money to non-party organizations like MoveOn, which are still able to engage in political advertising using soft money under section 527 of U.S. tax code. Soft money refers to money used to advance a particular political campaign in such a manner as to skirt the legal limits on how much money individuals or organizations are allowed to contribute to political campaigns (termed hard money). ...

Call for Change

MoveOn created a new system for reaching out to potential voters in the 2006 midterm elections named Call for Change (C4C). It provides MoveOn members with the technology to call individual voters in key districts and talk to them about the issues. As part of the Call for Change effort, MoveOn has organized thousands of C4C house parties and local MoveOn C4C offices to facilitate over 7 million phone calls in preparation for the midterm elections.^[9] At these events, members bring their cell phones to the party and call registered voters using a list provided to the host.

Criticism

Giuliani's New York Times advertisement denouncing Hillary Clinton and a previous MoveOn.org ad.

MoveOn was criticized by several Jewish advocacy groups, among others, when a member-submitted TV ad which drew parallels between President George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler briefly appeared on an affiliated website. The ad was part of a MoveOn-sponsored contest "Bush in 30 Seconds" during the 2004 presidential election in which members were invited to create and submit political TV ads challenging President Bush and his administration.^[10][11] The advertisement was quickly removed.^[10] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Fox News criticized the organization after it successfully encouraged the 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidates not to attend two debates sponsored by the network.

MoveOn was criticized for running a print ad in The New York Times that questioned the personal integrity of General David Petraeus, saying "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" and "Cooking the Books for the White House."^[15] On September 20, the Senate passed an amendment by Republican John Cornyn III of Texas designed to "strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus." All forty-nine Republican Senators, as well as twenty-two Democratic Senators, voted in support. The House passed a similar resolution by a 341-79 vote on September 26.^[16] The Washington Post stated on September 20 that "Democrats blamed the group [Moveon.org] for giving moderate Republicans a ready excuse for staying with Bush and for giving Bush and his supporters a way to divert attention away from the war."^[17][18][19] The New York Times public editor Clark Hoyt later stated in an editorial that MoveOn was mistakenly charged $77,000 less for the ad than it should have been under Times policies,^[20] and MoveOn announced that it would pay The New York Times the difference in prices.^[21] MoveOn.org is running more ads using a 'betrayal' theme, with TV spots targeting President Bush and Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani specifically.^[22][23] Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani ran his own full-page ad in The New York Times on September 14.^[24][25][26] Giuliani asked for and received a similar reduced fee as Moveon.org, paying $65,000.^[27][28] The controversial full-page advertisement placed in the September 10, 2007 edition of The New York Times. ...
