This democracy alliance coincides with MoveOn's latest activism newsletter:
Excerpt:
MoveOn members said our top priority this year should be winning back Congress. So we dreamed up a big plan: "Call For Change," one of the largest volunteer phonebanks in history. Together, we'll call 5 million progressive voters in competitive districts and get them to the polls.
It won't just help win the House. It's about building a movement of engaged voters in red and purple districts across the country.
We've spent months laying the groundwork, and now Call For Change is ready to launch. But we have to commit to hiring organizers and building the tools, so we need to decide now if it's a go. To fund this, we need 10,000 MoveOn members to contribute at least $15 a month until the election.
We think going big is our best shot at changing the direction of our country. But it's up to you. Please sign up as a monthly contributor today. Get a bonus t-shirt before July 31st.

It's a very ambitious plan to win big. Through Call for Change, MoveOn members from New York to San Diego will make over 5 million phone calls into 30 highly competitive House districts plus key Senate races.
We'll combine the energy of 3 million MoveOn members with new technology and cutting edge "microtargeting" techniques that have made Republican turnout efforts successful in recent years.
And to get rolling, we'll deploy 100 skilled field organizers around the country to help our volunteer leaders recruit and support other MoveOn members in their area.

yeah, that will convince those of us who never answer the phone or listen to messages - I hope they spend a LOT of money on this...
and those that answer the phone aren't going to be too happy having Oprah interrupted...
