You could have clicked the "main article" link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_MoveOn.org A petition is a mailing list. You sign the petition; you give them your email. This was MoveOn.org's real genius; they were effectively the first online petition. Now you've got the email addresses of several million people pissed off that despite the public unpopularity, we still had to deal with a fucking Clinton impeachment. So now you've got a group that tried a petition and failed, so it's time to do something else. So now you've got a party that apparently cares fuckall about the largest online protest group so far. And then you've got the Bush recount. And then you've got Enron. And then you've got Worldcom. And then you've got the Iraq War. And the hits just keep on coming. So it's not like they're an organization of the Democratic Party. It's that the Republicans have been so consistently callous for so long that there's very little point in making a stink. See, I know you want to think that those evil Democrats subverted the process here or some shit. But listen to me closely: Nearly everyone who uses a computer is smart enough to figure out that your party exists to empower evil sacks of shit.According to Blades, "Then two weeks after the November 1998 election, Congress went ahead and voted to impeach. When you become active in the system and communicate to your representatives, and they don't vote in accordance with your values, your next responsibility is to support candidates who will. All of a sudden we were signed up until 2000."
In early 1999, MoveOn continued to pursue bipartisan appeal, recruiting GOP moderate Larry Rockefeller, a New York environmental attorney and heir to the Rockefeller fortune, as the public face of a "Republican Move On" aimed at mobilizing anti-impeachment Republicans. As the 2000 elections neared, however, the organization gravitated toward the Democratic Party.
