MoveOn.org
MoveOn.org is an online network
that connects people with national, left-leaning, grassroots
political
organizing. Using the site's
"ActionForum software, you can propose issue priorities and
strategies. Others will
see and respond to your
suggestions, and the most strongly supported ideas will rise to
the top." The
organization adopts "the
issues that rise to the top as...campaign priorities, on a
cyclical basis," circulating
petitions, raising money and
awareness, publishing articles, and coordinating meeting times
and locations.
