I agree, many things moveon.org says are quite true and valid, but I don't see a huge problem with this, except the shocking truth that...

*Drum roll please*

AOL still sucks!

AOL is threatening the Internet as we know it.

They want to charge an "email tax" for sending email. Those who don't pay would 
risk their emails not being delivered.


Umm, I hate to say it but alarmist nonsense like this is why
moveon.org isn't taking the democratic party by storm any longer.

AOL's actual plan amounts "bribe us to get on the whitelist" but plain
old smtp will still get through if passes the spam filtering AOL
applies, too many of AOL's customer's use their accounts for business
for anything else to be viable.

moveon.org is mostly upset because their "Urgent Alert"'s and
fundraising appeals are getting caught in the trap.
