Expose at DailyKos about how Change.org is morphing into RW Organization. [View all]

Very important to understand what is happening over at Change.org

Like "terminal2" is explaining, this website has build up its equity on the web on account of us activists.

But now that we progressives have made the website a popular one, there is "change" a-coming down the pike, and it is not good for those in the progressive activist community.

Yes, now they want to, and plan to, sell out, in order to attract the Big Money from t he RW folks whose deep pockets will be bursting open, in order to finance the election of Republicans and more conservative Dems come 2014, and 29016.
