Don't worry. What MoveOn and the other groups are doing is clearly illegal. If Republicans tried to do the same, we would be mercilessly burned by the press. There would be calls for Bush's resignation, impeachment, special prosecutors etc..

But once the FEC and Courts say that what they are doing is not illegal, then the Republicans are free to do the same thing. And we can easily out spend them. One more trap the Democrats are walking into. IMO

What if the FEC rules that it's in fact illegal? Then what happens?

A friend of mine sent this to me via email a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been able to confirm it, but it sure is interesting:

Link Between Moveon And Kerry?

Do identical donation pages tracking unique team numbers show relationship between John Kerry's campaign and MoveOn.org?

Judge Napolitano on The big Story on Fox News just showed a Letter from Moveon asking for contributions to John Kerry with a link. That link ended in Team=437 at the end of the link.

Now go to: http://www.Johnkerry.com and highlight the "Make a Contribution Link": /contribute3.johnkerry.co...l?team=138 It says team=138.

The Donation pages are identical in nature, form, and function in the sense they track the donations back to moveon.

Therefore they are tracking donations specific from Moveon thus applying a causal relationship between the two of them.

It is interesting that the PAC donation section on moveon no longer has a team number attached, but the letter shown on Fox did.

How did they get assigned a team number for contributions of Team Number 437 if they are not in a relationship?

Looking at the HTML source and at the link at the end of this sentence: Contribute to Senator Kerry's Presidential campaign here. It still shows a "team=349" URL like this:

Contribute to Senator Kerry's Presidential campaignhere

So, one has to ask the question: Who assigned Moveon.org the "Team=349" for use on their PAC page?
