“Non-partisan:” That word does not mean what Page S. Gardner would have her critics believe it means.
The link between the VPC and MoveOn.org was discovered by Walter and Judy Hoye of Rockville, who were puzzled in June when they received a voter registration form in the mail for their 38-year-old daughter, a registered voter who lives 12 miles away in Henrico County and has never lived at their current address.
The mystery deepened when they received a phone call several weeks after receiving the partially filled-out form from the Voter Participation Center.
The caller, they eventually learned, was a volunteer with MoveOn.org. The caller wanted to know whether their daughter had filled out the form.
The caller said “she was following up … to make sure that my daughter had got it and that she was going to vote,” recalled Judy Hoye, who took the call.
The Hoyes are apparently among more than 7,000 people in Virginia and 73,000 nationwide who received “reminder calls” from MoveOn.org, which has partnered with an affiliate of the Voter Participation Center in the mass mailing of millions of voter registration forms across the country that target Democratic-leaning voting blocs, such as unmarried women, young adults and minorities. Nearly 200,000 have been mailed to Virginia residents.
In response to an inquiry by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Voter Participation Center said: “In the interests of encouraging as many Americans as possible to register to vote,” it recently sold a mailing list to its sister organization, called the Women’s Voices Women Vote Action Fund.
“The Action Fund in turn provided the list to MoveOn.Org Civic Action, which placed calls to eligible voters to urge them to register to vote in their local communities,” Gail Kitch, the center’s chief operating officer, wrote in an email.
There may some shenanigans buried in that explanation. The Women’s Voices Women Vote group is the Voter Participation Center, according to the VPC’s website.
The VPC was formerly known as Women’s Voices. Women Vote (WVWV). The name was formally changed in 2011 to reflect the fact the organization expanded its focus beyond its original emphasis on unmarried women to include the entire RAE.
Garder essentially sold the VPC’s voter list from her right hand to her left hand, which turned the list over to MoveOn.org. MoveOn.org is the infamous left wing group that authored this ad against one of America’s most decorated and capable military leaders, Gen. David Petraeus, when he led the war effort during the Bush administration.
Non-partisan?







Will MoveOn.org be taking out any similar ads on the war in Afghanistan and criticizing generals for towing the line? The surge in Iraq was certainly more successful then what we have seen in Afghanistan so far. The surge in Iraq was over in 18 months, violence plummeted and a new status of forces agreement was signed with a withdrawal date. 2 1/2 years into the Afghanistan surge and we are on pace for as many casualties(about 300) as we had in 2009 when it was decided that a surge was needed.
Watch this message get deleted. I’m starting to think that pjmedia contains at least some closeted lefties. This item ends with a full display of a leftie advertisment. The page I came from contained a long leftie quote against GHW Bush. I had been noticing even before that leftie propaganda gets very long hearings here.

You can only hope that our side is registering new voters also, and will make up the difference in order to win in many of these states, otherwise we are doomed for another four years of an empty suit.
I do not trust the left when it comes to voter registration. There are to many groups like ACORN that cannot be entrusted with the integrity of the vote, and moveon.org certainly would fall in to that category. I am more than certain that the progressive left is going to pull every punch to assure that dear leader gets a second term, otherwise the progressive movement will be severely hampered. They need a good spanking, but I do not think anything will give the proper attitude adjustment.
It would be great if more americans were paying attention.
