Online Presidential Primary
The folks at MoveOn have come up with a terrific idea. Members of what the National Journal called "the PAC of the future" will have 24 hours, beginning at midnight on June 24, to vote online for their choice of the Democratic presidential nominees. MoveOn will endorse whoever its members select.
Anyone can vote – even the disenfranchised citizens of Washington, DC! Just go to www.moveon.org and register. The results will be announced early in the presidential silly season. Log on and vote, and then maybe pundits, pollsters and big donors won't be the only voices that count at this early and important stage of the election process.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
