Ask MoveOn to have a presidential endorsement poll

Anna Galland: Please hold a MoveOn Presidential Candidate Endorsement Vote
http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/34160-focus-eight-more-years-of-plutocracy

This petition is to encourage MoveOn.org to hold a membership vote to endorse a Democratic candidate for President before the Iowa Primary.

On the “Run Warren Run” website MoveOn states “We will encourage all candidates to embrace the Warren agenda on the economy, pursue diplomacy over war, fight to get big money out of politics and address climate change, and present an agenda that speaks to the growing demands of the Movement for Black Lives, the need for immigration reform, and the whole of the progressive coalition.”

No candidate role models these qualities better than Bernie Sanders. A large portion of his campaign platform is in line with the agenda sort after by MoveOn.

Through this petition we want to encourage a similar voting process as recently carried out by Democracy for America. They were a key partner in the Run Warren Run campaign and its membership overwhelmingly decided to support Bernie’s campaign. We would like the membership of MoveOn to have the same opportunity.

Move on did it for Obama versus Hillary and so why so shy now? The PCC continues to run and fund raise off the Elizabeth Warren persona and yet has not endorsed Sanders. What are they afraid of? I will definitely be circulating polls. If these organizations are truly in support of progressives, the most progressive candidate is Bernie.
