4. Sending me an email asking me to resubscribe, and probably donate more, too.
:evilgrin:

Subtext: please don't stop donating.

Dear "BHP",

You've been permanently unsubscribed from the MoveOn list -- if you take no more action, this'll be the last email you get from us. But please don't go!

MoveOn gets its power from its members -- we're just 3 million people working together to change the world. But we know some folks are too busy to follow every last email.

So, we've developed a once-weekly newsletter to keep those folks informed. We'll only send you the most critical messages, and we won't email you more than once a week in any case. Want to sign up? Just click here:

And if you didn't mean to unsubscribe in the first place(we hope so!), you can re-join the full list at:

Thanks for everything you've done as part of MoveOn,

--Eli Pariser and the MoveOn team.


In all seriousness, I can't begin to express my unhappiness at their decision to use their (our) money and influence in the Dem primaries, rather than leveraging this for the General Election. It is a divisive tactic and disappointing. They just couldn't resist being part of the story now, instead of looking ahead to the GE when we'll need every tactic and strategy available to win.

And, if Sen Clinton is the nominee, what will they do? They've tarnished their credibility with this. :-(

7. I got the same thing
I think they know they stepped in it big time. Wonder how many people have quit MoveOn since they got involved in the primaries.

5. Trying to keep all the members they lost since they screwed up voting
People who might have voted for the candidate other than Hillary are mad as hell also....over 2/3 of the members did not get an email asking them to vote. And they are having a lot of drop outs.
