MoveOn warns ‘We might have to pull the plug’

MoveOn, a giant in the progressive political world and an early endorser of Barack Obama in 2008, warns that it might have to “pull the plug” on key campaigns to help Obama and Senate Democrats if its five million members don’t pony up with at least $5. - Mike Allen and Jim Vanderhei/Washington Examiner

Without a rush of new cash, MoveOn says it will have to give up efforts to elect Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, help the recall fight against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and energize younger voters who’ve soured on Washington.

...The homepage of MoveOn, which helped organize the 2004 anti-war movement, includes a “chip in” button preset at $8.
