JOHN STAUBER CHIMES IN ON THE MOVEON/NETROOTS DEBATE

MoveOn is ten years old, and the Nation's Christopher Hayes takes a long look at it in the new Nation cover story out today. Here is the link below for the article titled: "MoveOn@Ten" http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080804/hayes

I am quoted briefly and accurately in it as a critic of MoveOn, and some of my thoughts are further spelled out in this interview I did last week with David Sirota examining the difference between MoveOn's elitist top-down marketing and fundraising, and what we really need to activate democracy in America which is bottom-up populist citizen empowerment and movement building
