The progressive group MoveOn.org is polling its 7 million members on whether it should endorse President Obama’s re-election. In an email to supporters Wednesday morning, the group asked members to vote on the endorsement.
Voting is open until 9 a.m. ET Thursday. MoveOn will endorse Obama only if two-thirds of members vote in favor of the endorsement.
Dear MoveOn member,
We have a big decision to make.
At MoveOn, members vote on any election endorsements we make. Today we need to decide whether to make an endorsement in the presidential race. The outcome of the election is far from decided—polls are showing that this could be a very tight race—so our work could make a big difference.
If MoveOn members vote to endorse President Obama, we’ll campaign hard to re-elect Obama and to defeat Mitt Romney. If MoveOn members choose not to endorse Obama, we won’t spend our time and resources on the presidential election. It’s up to you.
So it’s time to ask the question: Should MoveOn endorse President Obama?
Yes.
No.
