I joined MoveOn.org quite some time ago - can't even remember when really. Was it in the 2000 election cycle? 2004? Probably doesn't matter. Suffice it to say, I liked the work they were doing and figured it was a way that I could contribute. I am sad to say that as of this week, I am no longer a supporter of their organization.
My letter to them after the break explains why...
Update 1: Discussing the matter with Eli Pariser. Will update this post after further clarification.
Update 2: Eli has confirmed that they have not exported their database since I changed it over to my son's name so he could get the Obama sticker. I apologize to Mr. Pariser and the entire MoveOn.org organization for my mistake.
Update 2: I am deleting the letter that I sent to MoveOn as it has been proven by them that I was mistaken in my accusation. I would however like to point out to the commenters below that this was not a "smear" nor did I have any ulterior motive to posting this diary. Also, I did send a message directly to move on. It was not responded to. This diary was. Perhaps I did not give them enough time to sort through their e-mail. One thing is for sure, a diary from a twice a year diarist on DailyKos can get immediate results.
