How do you feel about sending money to MoveOn.org to help them pay their legal fees? [View all]
Breaking news: The state of Louisiana is suing MoveOn.org in federal court.1 They're trying to force us to take down a billboard that calls out Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal—an aspiring presidential candidate—for denying health care to 242,000 people. After carefully discussing the matter with our lawyers, we've made a decision: We're leaving our billboard up—even if we have to take this fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
This lawsuit is unprecedented in MoveOn's sixteen-year history. And it will take all of us to respond. Normally, we ask for folks to donate when they can—and we know that not everyone can give every time. But today, we're urgently asking all MoveOn members to step up to the plate and help with a contribution right now.
Can you donate as little as $3—or as much as you can afford—to defend MoveOn in court and keep our work going?
They do a lot of good, but taking on a lawsuit???? Boy, Jindal can be flogged six ways to Sunday. IMO it is a colossal and foolish waste of limited funds. Jindal wins.
Of course, we'll see how it plays out. Could just be rouse to raise funds before they stand down.
aside: If you wouldn't send them money anyway, I'm happy for you.
