314Action.org - a new front for the Democrat party?

Earlier today, I went over the gun violence page on 314 Action.org and showed that two paragraphs were copied verbatim from other sources. Little did I realize, that was just the tip of the melting iceberg! (Note: while compiling this post, 314 Action took down their Issues page in a desperate attempt to hide their plagiarism. But I saved everything and will discuss the changes below.)

Two paragraphs on their climate change page were lifted from a 2007 Climate Change and National Security Report by Joshua W. Busby.

Greetings FReepers, longtime reader, first time poster. I hope this is OK to post here. I am a scientist and I recently learned of a group called 314Action.org that purports to be for helping scientists run for office (buried in the site they mention they will help Democrat candidates only).

I looked over the site and thought some of the writing sounded a bit odd, so I ran it through Google and found several examples of plagiarism, which I've posted to my blog. I am not here to promote my own site, but I have not seen anyone else mention this here.

"Greetings FReepers, longtime reader, first time poster. I hope this is OK to post here."

It's a good place to post, but extremely bad form to excerpt your own material.

If you have something to say, let's have it.
All of it.
