MoveOn to host candidates forum Tuesday

This is from Oct. But nothing to say what time it will start. Could it be that DWS is keeping the time a secret? The fact that it was this Tuesday was from E-mail alert this morning. No time was mentioned in that as well. Does anyone have more info on this?? BTW, message I got this morning said Hillary declined to attend. So it will only be Bernie and Gov. O'Mally.


Clinton, O’Malley, and Sanders have been invited to engage with the 8-million-member strong MoveOn community on key progressive issues.

MoveOn.org Political Action announced today that it will host what is thus far the only scheduled grassroots online candidate forum of the Democratic presidential primary. The mid-November forum will focus on progressive issues and feature questions submitted from MoveOn’s 8 million members nationwide.

Bernie Sanders has confirmed his attendance; other candidates — Hillary Clinton, and Martin O’Malley — have been invited but not yet confirmed.

Said Ilya Sheyman, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action: “This forum will help Democratic candidates engage with millions of progressive Americans who constitute an influential part of the party’s base and who will play a significant role in the coming primaries and caucuses. The forum will give candidates an opportunity to respond directly to grassroots progressives asking about the issues that matter most, from protecting and expanding Social Security to keeping fossil fuels in the ground, to addressing systemic racism and ending mass incarceration.”

Maybe Hillary backed down? I wouldn't be surprised if she did.

On edit, nvm. You do mention in your post that she declined. She's probably afraid of going down in polls again if people hear her speak

Justice Forum. Bernie fears NO one, no forum, he tells the truth and has no reason to decline any invitation to tell the truth.
