MoveOn Fundraising Against Anti-Health Care Dems

In a warning shot to wavering Democrats, the progressive action group MoveOn.org is making a major push to raise money on behalf of primary challengers to those House lawmakers who vote against health care reform.

The group is set to blast out an email to its five million member list Monday asking recipients to pledge anywhere from $25 to $200 (or more) for the purposes of defeating conservative Democrats who help defeat the legislation.

"Health care reform is in serious danger in the House of Representatives: with a handful of conservative Democrats wavering, we don't yet have the votes to pass the final bill," reads the email, which was sent in advance to the Huffington Post. "So we're asking every MoveOn member: will you pledge to support progressive primary challengers to House Democrats who side with Republicans to kill health care reform?

That's all. Such a lot of money being thrown down the rathole of TV/radio advertising.

the public option was axed? Because that was the point where actual reform was under discussion.

And more practically, has anyone checked the filing deadlines or is this $ to be spent at MoveOn's discretion?

They're getting nada from me. And I've removed myself from their list.

I just hope that Pelosi decides to go for it, despite pressure to cave from Obama...

What the hell is she thinking?

Oh and watch out Dennis.
