MoveOn Refuses to Poll Members in Clinton Race

MoveOn has declined to poll its members regarding the U.S. Senate race in New York, despite having done so in Connecticut. It is critical for MoveOn members to be aware that Hillary Clinton has an anti-war opponent in Jonathan Tasini. Please ask MoveOn to poll its members regarding the U.S. Senate race in New York.

Please take 5 minutes of your time and send a message today by going to the MoveOn homepage at http://www.MoveOn.org

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "CONTACT"

Where it says "Choose from one of the following," click on the last option (in red): "Other question or problem"

Type your name and e-mail into the boxes labeled "Name" and "E-mail."

Type "U.S. Senate race in NY -- poll your members!" into the box labeled "Subject."

Type your comments into the box labeled "Message."

When finished, click "Send" at the bottom of the page.

Here are the essential points to include in your message:

*Address your message to Eli Pariser and the MoveOn Political Action Team.

*The New York Democratic primary is September 12th.

*The New York Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate is heating up.

*Jonathan Tasini is running with an anti-war message against incumbent Senator
Hillary Clinton.

*MoveOn.org has not yet polled its members in this race as it did in Connecticut.

*Eli Pariser said in the NY Daily News: "We're not hearing a whole lot from our members in New York about the race."

*Much of the institutional media has denied New York voters their right to know about Tasini’s candidacy and the issues for which he stands.

*We challenge MoveOn to poll its members. Ask them if MoveOn.org should take a position on the New York Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate.

*MoveOn, please keep democracy alive in New York!
