Amos: I read this post from you (quoted below) and assumed MoveOn.org has a fund-raising drive happening to support door knocking, and that you are stumping for them here.

Am I wrong?

Anyway, slightly irritating jibes notwithstanding, if you do speak for MoveOn, and if you accept donations from Canada, I am willing to contribute.

The only way to counter these kinds of nasty attacks is to make sure voters are armed with the facts. That's where we come inÑour plan is to target 1.6 million voters in swing states and talk to them to make sure they know the truth about the candidates and the issues. That kind of personal contact will beat the negative ads every time.

But it's going to take a lot of workÑand moneyÑto build that organization. We've been in meetings all week crunching numbers to figure out how many states we can afford to work in this fall, and we need to make a decision soon. MoveOn doesn't have billionaire donorsÑit's just all of us, chipping in together. Can you chip in $25 to help make sure we have the resources necessary to get the truth out?
