Freeper Investigation Exposes Direct Coordination Between MoveOn.org and the DNC (Foreign $$$ funneled to DNC Petition Drive)

We have discovered a direct link between the Democrat National Committee (DNC) and MoveOn.org, the organization of choice for donations and activism of the Democrats. Recently there was a Joint Petition Drive to protect America's Courts by DNC and MoveOn.org. This directly links MoveOn.org to the DNC.

Drudge revealed this week (below) that foreign money is flowing into MoveOn.org. With the direct link between DNC and MoveOn.org established, MoveOn.org money from foreign sources is funneled to DNC.

More than 300,000 Americans Sign Petition to Protect America's Courts

Washington, D.C. — The Democratic National Committee (DNC) today announced a radio ad as part of its ongoing "Petition for American Values" campaign. Airing now in the Washington, D.C. metro area, the ad brings to light the Republican attempts to hold the Senate hostage so they can put ultraconservative judges on the federal bench.

The ad accuses Senate Republicans of holding the Senate hostage, "so they can approve Bush's ultraconservative judges…judges who threaten a woman's right to choose, threaten worker protections, public education, and our religious freedom." The ad also praises Democrats in the fight to keep our courts from being packed, saying, "Now, Democrats are standing up to say no. No, on turning back the clock on our most cherished values and no to rolling back a woman's right to choose and our civil liberties." The ad can be heard here.

The DNC is also conducting a major petition drive in partnership with MoveOn.org. More than 310,000 Americans have signed the petition to protect our courts — with more than 172,000 of those signatures coming in the past 36 hours. The petition calls on Bush and the Republicans to stop nominating judges that are out of step with mainstream Americans and praising the Democrats for standing up for their rights. The petition is located here. Here is a sampling of the comments posted on the petition:

Santa Monica, CA: We need fair judges who will support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Freedom from government repression is why our forefathers founded this country.

Dublin, OH: Please stop the veil of ultraconservatism from completely covering and overwhelming a country where it is becoming more difficult to voice opposition.

Park City, UT: Thank you for supporting our rights and freedoms.

Ann Arbor, MI: The courts must steadfastly support the rights of women and minorities, not undermine them.

Durango, CO: This might be the most important action you will ever take to save our democracy.

CAMPAIGN CASH RACE TURNS INTERNATIONAL; MOVEON.ORG CENTER OF INTRIGUE; CLARK SEEKS CANADIAN SUPPORT, WEBSITE SHOWS

**Exclusive**

Frustrated with the lack of domestic support, left-leaning website MoveOn.org has apparently been reaching beyond American borders to generate cash revenue over the internet!

The provocative international fundraising strategy threatens to embroil the presidential candidacies of General Wesley Clark and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean.

Both men are named on international fundraising websites suggesting donations to MoveOn.org.

Americans stand with the Senate Democrats

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, took a short break from the 30-hour Republican hypocrisy-a-thon to come and see the results of the DNC's petition drive. We collected more than 310,000 signatures and comments from Americans who stand with Senate Democrats in the fight to keep ultraconservative ideologues off the federal bench.

Senator Leahy shows the DNC staff a T-shirt
made for Senate Democrats. The
front reads, "We Confirmed 98% of Bush's Judges…"

DNC Chief Operating Officer Josh Wachs (left),

Please note the tie-in between the DNC and MoveOn.org along with the foreign money being funneled into MoveOn.org skirting campaign finance laws it seems.

Where is the outrage from foreign money coming into the United States Presidential Election?

[wizardoz]

Pardon my lack of surprise. For all that lefties cry about suppression of dissent, it's becoming easier and easier for them to come out of the communist/socialist closet all the time.

[RandallFlagg]

Great job!

FReepers are the best when it comes to these revelations. I believe EVERYONE with a voice in the media reads this forum. With that, you can expect Rush, Hannity, Boortz, Savage and the rest to put this out today on their shows.

However, we must be ready for the backlash. We'll be called every name in the book, smeared and ridiculed as "Kooks."

I'm ready. I can take it.

[PhiKapMom]

Please make sure this information gets to everyone you know along with members of the media. We need to make sure voters know that there is a direct tie-in between Moveon.org and DNC along with MoveOn.org receiving foreign contributions.

If you would like on or off this Bush-Cheney '04 ping list, please let My2Cents or me know!

Thanks!

good post and Happy Holidays phikapmom

GOPUSA - Brewing MoveOn Scandal Over Foreign Contributions Involves Dean, Clark Campaigns

[PhiKapMom]

As proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy and the kook patrol, have to laugh at the Dems. Cannot believe the DNC is touting the fact that they are linked with Moveon.org.

Hope Terry stays at DNC for many years to come!

There doesn't seem to be much outrage about anything these days. I feel like RATS are running the whole country now. I hope this direct link between the DNC and moveon.org gets a bit more attention in the future..it is certainly a CAUSE for outrage. I read a post yesterday from freeper AnAmericanInTokyo saying that he found a link showing Dean getting illegal money from Japan. Did you see that?

[PhiKapMom]

easier for them to come out of the communist/socialist closet all the time.

Very true statement. Only dissent they want to stiffle is ours!

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks much -- I read that yesterday and was so glad he found out that information.

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks for the links -- it is great to have them all on one thread to refer back to!

[sarasota]

Go to moveon.org and sign up for receiving the 30 second anti-Bush advertisements that are being submitted. I'm sure you'll get an eyefull.

Campaign finance Reform Bump

[Steve_Seattle]

"Where is the outrage from foreign money coming into the United States Presidential Election?"

Is the foreign money illegal, or just improper in a moral sense? (IMHO, it should be illegal.)

To counter this, Republicans should place ads highlighting O'Connor and Breyer's recent statements allowing international law to trump the Constitution.

[MEGoody]

Is anyone surprised?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Marked. Later.

[farmfriend]

Short list.

more INTERNATIONAL MOJO.

No surprise, here. Hell, Al Gore has practically become their official spokesman with his "sponsored" appearances for them.
