POST-ELECTION REPORT


In September of 1998, Wes Boyd and Joan Blades started<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> with just $89.95 and one big idea: use technology<br />

to bring people back into American politics. It seemed<br />

crazy at the time, but since then, <strong>MoveOn</strong> has grown<br />

to 4.5 million strong and the technology we helped to<br />

pioneer is now commonplace among campaigns. And in<br />

<strong>2008</strong>, American politics is more people-powered than it<br />

has ever been.<br />

Technology has created more direct communication<br />

between constituents and their elected officials, allowed<br />

groups of small donors to compete with the influence<br />

of big money in Washington, and helped millions to get<br />

involved and make a difference in the most critical election<br />

in modern history. While we have a lot of work still to<br />

do to level the playing field, we’ve taken dramatic steps<br />

in the right direction. And nothing proves the power of<br />

this principle better than Barack Obama’s campaign for<br />

President. With an incredible grasp of technology and<br />

a dedication to on-the-ground <strong>org</strong>anizing, the Obama<br />

campaign built an infrastructure early on which made so<br />

many Americans, and most of our members, excited to get<br />

involved.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> members made it clear from early 2007 that<br />

electing a progressive president was our top priority. After<br />

our members endorsed Obama early in the primaries, we<br />

launched the largest volunteer mobilization in <strong>MoveOn</strong>’s<br />

history to help Obama secure the nomination.<br />

As we reached the general election, <strong>MoveOn</strong> members’<br />

participation in the campaign skyrocketed. We contributed<br />

almost 1 million volunteers to Obama’s campaign who<br />

together worked more than 20.8 million hours to put<br />

Obama in the White House.<br />

From virtual phone banks to house parties, the <strong>org</strong>anizing<br />

tactics we helped to pioneer in the last few election cycles<br />

Young people get out the vote for<br />

Barack Obama in record numbers.


have been adopted broadly, and <strong>MoveOn</strong> members were<br />

among the most skilled veterans at using these tools to<br />

help elect Obama.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> pioneered online giving in 1999, and online small-<br />

donor cultivation has been a key part of our strategy ever<br />

since. So, we see the enthusiasm and participation from<br />

small donors in this year’s election as an indication of both<br />

an inspiring candidate and a campaign ethic dedicated to<br />

giving ordinary people power on- and off-line.<br />

All told this election cycle, <strong>MoveOn</strong> members:<br />

•<br />

Delivered over 933,800 volunteers and over<br />

$88,000,000 for Barack Obama.<br />

• Helped to mobilize young folks, adding more than 1<br />

million people in Generation Obama to the <strong>MoveOn</strong><br />

ranks, registering nearly half a million with our<br />

friends at Progressive Future, and turning them out in<br />

battleground states.<br />

•<br />

Helped Democrats win at least six Senate seats [three<br />

races are still outstanding at the time of this report]<br />

with almost $3,854,978.92 in small donor contributions,<br />

ads, and direct mail in key Senate states.<br />

• Put North Carolina over the top, raising and spending<br />

$3,073,503.30 to run ads, support Kay Hagan, and<br />

register new voters in the state.<br />

3<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> didn’t do this alone, of course. From SEIU to<br />

Brave New Films to VoteVets, we were honored to work<br />

with and alongside dozens of <strong>org</strong>anizations to build a<br />

progressive infrastructure to help Obama make the change<br />

Americans want to see.<br />

Bottom line, <strong>2008</strong> has seen the greatest democratization<br />

of American politics in a generation – and regardless of<br />

where on the political spectrum you stand, that’s a very<br />

good, very healthy thing.<br />

Contributions under $200 skyrocketed this election cycle,<br />

showing a renewed engagement in the political process<br />

from Americans all over the country.


‘‘<br />

In just a few years, the members of <strong>MoveOn</strong> have once again demonstrated that real change comes not from the top-<br />

’’<br />

ElEctIng Barack oBama<br />

down, but from the bottom-up. From their principled opposition to the Iraq war – a war I also opposed from the start –<br />

to their strong support for a number of progressive causes, <strong>MoveOn</strong> shows what Americans can achieve when we come<br />

together in a grassroots movement for change. I thank them for their support and look forward to working with their<br />

members in the weeks and months ahead.<br />

– Senator Barack Obama, February 1st, <strong>2008</strong><br />

On the day of <strong>MoveOn</strong>’s endorsement of Obama for President<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> members pulled out all the stops to elect Barack<br />

Obama, donating over $88,000,000 and volunteering over<br />

20,841,507 hours.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> has been a pioneer in “online-to-offline<br />

<strong>org</strong>anizing” – using email and the web to help folks make<br />

an impact in their neighborhoods. This cycle, <strong>MoveOn</strong><br />

members in battleground states received daily emails<br />

alerting them to specific needs at their local Obama office,<br />

along with hand-written updates from local volunteer<br />

leaders. These regular and distributed communications<br />

tripled our recruitment rates over the course of the<br />

campaign and turned out almost one million <strong>MoveOn</strong><br />

members to canvass, phone bank and register voters for<br />

Obama over the course of the campaign.<br />

Recruitment engine: With lots of enthusiastic members<br />

in “safe” states, we came up with a unique solution<br />

to the ever increasing need for volunteers in the key<br />

battleground states. Members in states such as Texas and<br />

Vermont became a “recruitment engine,” calling every<br />

single <strong>MoveOn</strong> member in battleground states to get them<br />

to their local Obama office.<br />

Reaching out across the country: With <strong>MoveOn</strong>’s small<br />

staff, running traditional campaign phone banks simply<br />

wasn’t an option. But the technology we pioneered in<br />

2006 for our “Call for Change” program provided the<br />

solution. <strong>MoveOn</strong> members made 2.14 million calls at<br />

decentralized “phone parties” where neighborhood<br />

progressives would gather, cell phones in hand, and call<br />

through lists of <strong>MoveOn</strong> members in battleground states<br />

4<br />

like Ohio and Virginia. <strong>MoveOn</strong> members also made<br />

557,000 recruitment calls from home on our easy-to-use<br />

web tool – including Richard S., of Mill Valley, CA, who<br />

made an astounding 5,431 recruitment calls!<br />

Working directly with the Obama campaign: In a firstever<br />

for <strong>MoveOn</strong>, our members joined forces with the<br />

Obama field campaign to mobilize voters across all 50<br />

states. Our members brought years of field experience to<br />

the Obama team, filling their ranks with veteran <strong>org</strong>anizers<br />

and enthusiastic volunteers. We turned out over 250,000<br />

volunteers directly through our website to the campaign.<br />

All told, almost a million <strong>MoveOn</strong> members participated in<br />

the campaign, far out-doing our participation in 2004.<br />

This story started more than a year and a half ago when<br />

our members flocked in April 2007 to our Virtual Town<br />

all meeting on Iraq. Out of a field of seven candidates,<br />

Obama won the town hall with 28% of the vote, largely<br />

due to his strong position on ending the Iraq war – a war<br />

our members had opposed from the start.<br />

On February 1, <strong>2008</strong>, five days before “Super Tuesday,”<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> members voted by 70 percent to endorse Barack<br />

Obama – the first presidential endorsement in our history.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> member Christine Y. in New Jersey summed up<br />

the feeling of so many voters:<br />

I’ve never felt so strongly about any one candidate in my<br />

entire life. He’s truly an inspiration to all of us – especially<br />

the younger generation. I will stand by him 100% for as<br />

long as he’s willing to stand up and fight for this country!<br />

In the days that followed, our members infused the<br />

fledgling campaign with over half a million dollars in small<br />

donations – an amount that Obama has subsequently<br />

dwarfed, but at the time provided the campaign with<br />

much-needed resources and helped the campaign build<br />

a foundation for their huge base of small donors.<br />

Members poured personal endorsement e-mails into<br />

primary states, ultimately sending almost 700,000 e-mails<br />

asking friends and family to support Obama in their state<br />

primaries. And in the lead up to March 5, more than<br />

20,000 volunteers called <strong>MoveOn</strong> members in Texas to<br />

turn them out for Obama to both vote and caucus in the<br />

famous Texas two-step.<br />

WILL THE<br />

DEMOCRATIC<br />

PA R T Y<br />

LIVE UP TO<br />

ITS NAME?<br />

More than<br />

400,000 voters say:<br />

“The Democratic Party<br />

must be democratic.<br />

The superdelegates<br />

should let the voters<br />

decide between<br />

Clinton and Obama,<br />

then support<br />

the people’s choice.”<br />

Add your name at www.moveon.<strong>org</strong>.<br />

Paid for by <strong>MoveOn</strong>.<strong>org</strong> Political Action, pol.moveon.<strong>org</strong>, not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.<br />

As Americans voted in overwhelming<br />

numbers in primaries, <strong>MoveOn</strong>.<strong>org</strong> and allied<br />

<strong>org</strong>anizations ran this full page ad to tell the<br />

superdelegates to let the voters decide.


Once we hit the general election, members chipped in for<br />

ads that clearly defined the choice between Barack Obama<br />

and John McCain. Our “Obama in 30 seconds” ad contest<br />

generated over 1,100 entries. The winner, “Obamacan,”<br />

aired in four states and nationally throughout the election.<br />

The winner of the “Obama in 30 seconds”<br />

contest, this ad was one of the first to show<br />

Obama’s crossover appeal to voters.<br />

We tried to advertise outside the box, with creative<br />

approaches that could break through the media noise.<br />

The “Bush-McCain Challenge,” a fun quiz that compared<br />

the two politicians, was promoted in TV ads; over half a<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> Councils At Work<br />

It wasn’t just online and on the airwaves that our<br />

members made a difference. Our local councils<br />

helped define John McCain in cities and towns<br />

around the country and were key to rallying the<br />

hundreds of thousands of <strong>MoveOn</strong> members who<br />

ultimately volunteered for Obama.<br />

•<br />

Our councils highlighted McCain’s ties to Big<br />

Oil. We <strong>org</strong>anized over 200 “Oil-Free President”<br />

events outside gas stations in July, earning media<br />

hits in dozens of swing state outlets, including in<br />

Nashua, NH; Naples, FL; and Bloomington, IN.<br />

Our councils helped educate voters about the<br />

similarities between McCain and Bush. We ran<br />

over 300 “Bush-McCain Challenge” events on<br />

May 28th, attracting media coverage in places like<br />

Nashua and Portsmouth, NH, and Denver, CO.<br />

We added almost 4,000 local leaders doing GOTV<br />

over the course of the campaign, bringing our<br />

council leadership to 16,000 members nationwide.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> Members Get Creative<br />

At the Denver convention, <strong>MoveOn</strong> partnered with<br />

artist Shepard Fairey to host a gallery displaying art<br />

inspired by Obama’s candidacy.<br />

The Decemberists perform at a concert<br />

in Denver in the Shepard Fairey/<strong>MoveOn</strong><br />

space for hundreds of Obama supporters.<br />

These paintings were finalists in the Manifest<br />

Hope art contest. The contest generated more<br />

than one thousand entries. The finalists were<br />

on display at the Denver gallery.


One Member’s Story<br />

Every chance I get, I’ve been volunteering here in Lafayette, Indiana. It’s the most exciting, joyful, amazing<br />

experience I can imagine – and sometimes it brings tears to your eyes.<br />

My friend and I were canvassing and registering voters the other day here in Lafayette. We knocked on a door,<br />

and a woman came out who was on the phone. She saw our campaign buttons, briefly put the phone aside to tell<br />

us she was on an overseas call, and took our clipboard to fill out a voter registration form while she continued<br />

to talk. She was obviously on the phone with her husband, who seemed concerned that someone had come to<br />

her door – he seemed to want to be sure she was safe. She kept saying, “No, honey, it’s okay. They are Obama<br />

volunteers. I’m registering to vote. It’s okay.”<br />

Then finally she said to him, “Honey, I have to register so I can vote for Obama. He’s going to bring you home!”<br />

It was a beautiful moment. But the truth is, everyone who spends time knocking on doors meets people who<br />

don’t know where to vote or how to vote early, or who just need some reassurance that it’s okay to vote for<br />

Obama. They’re grateful to see you.<br />

a Broad maJorItY In tHE SEnatE<br />

No one can accuse <strong>MoveOn</strong> members of not being able<br />

to walk and chew gum at the same time. In a year with an<br />

extraordinary focus on the Presidential election, we also<br />

weighed in with $3,854,978.92 and several defining ads to<br />

build a broad Democratic majority in the Senate.<br />

We focused on helping in three ways:<br />

1. We poured in small donations to help Senate<br />

candidates run competitive campaigns against<br />

well-financed incumbents.<br />

Tom Allen Maine $365,854.26<br />

Mark Begich Alaska $79,649.84<br />

Al Franken Minnesota $740,306.00<br />

Kay Hagan North Carolina $499,679.18<br />

2. We ran ads to help define the races and educate<br />

voters in uphill battles in Kentucky, Ge<strong>org</strong>ia, and<br />

North Carolina.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> partnered with Campaign Money Watch to get<br />

this ad on the air in Kentucky to challenge long-time Iraq<br />

war supporter Mitch McConnell.<br />

3. Using direct mail and online ads, we encouraged<br />

young, enthusiastic Obama supporters to vote down-<br />

ballot in key Senate races.<br />

Facebook ads proved to<br />

be a great way to alert<br />

young Obama supporters<br />

to the importance of<br />

voting down-ballot.


Our members also had some time for the House of<br />

Representatives this cycle, donating over $800,000 to<br />

progressive House candidates.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong>’s Work in the House of Representatives<br />

No race was more exciting than helping Donna Edwards<br />

win her primary campaign against Al Wynn in February<br />

of this year. <strong>MoveOn</strong> members volunteered for Donna in<br />

Maryland, donated over $81,000 to her campaign, and<br />

chipped in to keep ads on the air at a critical time in the<br />

campaign. We’re proud to have been a part of electing<br />

a progressive champion<br />

like Donna to the US House.<br />

And the race put other<br />

Representatives on notice: fail<br />

to listen to your constituents,<br />

and you might be next.<br />

If you’d told us in 2006 we’d be focusing on North Carolina<br />

in <strong>2008</strong>, we would have laughed. But it was clear early<br />

last summer that something was happening there, so we<br />

decided to step up and help turn North Carolina blue.<br />

And we did! Our efforts helped put the state over the top<br />

for Obama and elect a Democratic Governor, Senator, and<br />

Congressman in this deep red state. We sent a message<br />

that the electoral map is changing and progressive issues<br />

are important in all states of the Union.<br />

When we started, Obama was down seven points in the<br />

state polls and Kay Hagan who was running for Senate<br />

against the better known and better financed Elizabeth<br />

Dole seemed like a long shot. At the beginning of June,<br />

Hagan was ten points down.<br />

But that month, we partnered with Elizabeth Edwards and<br />

EMILY’s List to bring in some much needed early money for<br />

Kay Hagan.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> is working with EMILY’s List to highlight some<br />

great candidates like Kay Hagan, a legislator in my home<br />

state of North Carolina who is running for U.S. Senate. It<br />

ignored, but no longer: Last week the Washington Post1 rated it as one of the most winnable Senate races for<br />

Democrats in the country.<br />

– Elizabeth Edwards in a <strong>MoveOn</strong> email<br />

Since that day, <strong>MoveOn</strong> members generously contributed<br />

$499,679.18 to help elect Kay Hagan to the Senate. But it<br />

wasn’t just Hagan who wanted to turn North Carolina blue<br />

– our members kicked in almost $179,000 to Larry Kissell’s<br />

race in NC-08.<br />

In the summer of <strong>2008</strong>, we blanketed the state with an ad<br />

that reminded voters where John McCain and Elizabeth<br />

Dole stood on energy issues. The ad showed that these<br />

two candidates were literally in the “pocket” of Big Oil.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> blanketed North Carolina with this ad linking<br />

Elizabeth Dole and John McCain to Big Oil interests.<br />

In September, we focused on new and young voters – a<br />

potentially powerful voting bloc in North Carolina. We<br />

just needed to get them all registered. We opened eight<br />

voter registration offices in the state and registered close<br />

to 44,000 new and young voters. As the election drew<br />

near, we reminded them online and in their mailboxes<br />

that change doesn’t stop with Obama and that they had a<br />

chance to help him bring an “A-Team” – Hagan and Kissell –<br />

to Washington, DC with him.<br />

In the final weeks of the campaign, health care emerged<br />

as a deciding issue in the race. In partnership with<br />

Health Care for America Now, we sent thousands of<br />

DVDs outlining John McCain’s health care plan directly to<br />

the doorsteps of undecided voters, and reinforced that<br />

message with two weeks of television ads on the subject.<br />

All told, <strong>MoveOn</strong> members gave $3,069,502.97 to support<br />

candidates, run ads, send mail, and register voters in<br />

North Carolina.<br />

Until <strong>2008</strong>, people under 35-years old were the least<br />

<strong>org</strong>anized cohort in politics. “Generation Obama” was<br />

more progressive than the general electorate – strongly<br />

against the Iraq war, strongly invested in fighting the<br />

climate crisis, and far more socially and culturally tolerant<br />

than generations past. Still there were challenges: because<br />

they move around a lot and mostly stick to cell phones,<br />

they were left out of <strong>org</strong>anizations and traditional GOTV<br />

efforts.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong>’s staff is pretty young, so we knew we needed to<br />

reach these folks where they live and congregate: online.<br />

Organizing on Facebook and other networks added over<br />

one million new members to our ranks between June and<br />

September.<br />

We ran fun and edgy ads speaking directly to this<br />

constituency and their ability to move others.<br />

Stars of the popular TV show Gossip Girl warn young<br />

people to talk to their parents about the perils of voting<br />

for John McCain in this funny television ad.<br />

And our groundbreaking and interactive “CNNBC” video –<br />

which allowed people to show their friends what it would<br />

look like if they single-handedly cost the election – is one<br />

of the most popular online political videos in history. By<br />

Election Day, it had been seen over 20 million times and<br />

sent to 15 million people. As one reporter noted:<br />

14<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong>’s groundbreaking “Make Sure All Your Friends<br />

Vote” viral video tool uses social peer pressure to<br />

encourage friends to vote. A study of a controlled<br />

experiment, published in the February <strong>2008</strong> issue of<br />

American Political Science Review, found social pressure<br />

to be the single most effective way of increasing voter<br />

turnout by mass communication.<br />

science_behind_moveons_nonvoter_campaign.html<br />

This innovative and funny video reminding<br />

people to vote for Obama was the most<br />

popular in <strong>MoveOn</strong>’s history.


Our program wasn’t only online. Working with Progressive<br />

Future, <strong>MoveOn</strong> hired over 550 <strong>org</strong>anizers in a program<br />

to register half a million young Obama supporters in key<br />

battleground states. These folks helped put Obama over<br />

the top in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and North<br />

Carolina. They were young, they were enthusiastic, and<br />

they were unstoppable.<br />

‘‘<br />

I’m going to keep this short, because I’m not much of<br />

a speaker.<br />

And in a way, that’s kind of the point of <strong>MoveOn</strong>. It’s not<br />

about me. It’s about you – our members, who have made<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> everything it is.<br />

This historic night is your night. Words can’t do it justice,<br />

though I’m sure Obama’s will come close. Our country,<br />

America, is back.<br />

concluSIon: lookIng aHEad<br />

As <strong>MoveOn</strong> looks ahead to what it will be like to work with a progressive Administration, we know in many<br />

ways our journey has just begun. Eli spoke about the road ahead to our members in a speech on Election Night:<br />

And this is your night. So I want to take a moment to<br />

remember where we’ve come.<br />

Because when there are hundreds of thousands of people<br />

in Grant Park in Chicago, and millions of us working<br />

together in an unprecedented people-driven campaign,<br />

this whole change thing seems easy, and obvious, and<br />

inevitable.<br />

But back in 2001 and 2002, it didn’t feel that way. Try<br />

to remember. President Bush had an 80% approval<br />

rating. Democrats capitulated and caved at every turn.<br />

<strong>People</strong> were burning Dixie Chicks albums. The media was<br />

cheerleading the war. It was a scary time to speak out, to<br />

raise your voice.<br />

But you did. We did, together. Because we love this<br />

country, and what it stands for, and we couldn’t bear to<br />

see that destroyed.<br />

In communities across the country, you stood up. We<br />

stood up. We found each other. We built a movement, and<br />

our voices got stronger. We talked to our neighbors, we<br />

enlisted our friends. And things began to change.<br />

So I want you to remember that tonight wasn’t inevitable.<br />

It wasn’t destined to happen. It happened because people<br />

16<br />

stood up – people who didn’t have lots of connections<br />

or money but who had a fierce desire for change were<br />

unwilling to let go of that hope no matter what.<br />

<strong>MoveOn</strong> members, this is your night.<br />

And it’s a beautiful night. It’s an amazing night. But it’s not<br />

yet a victory.<br />

The Presidency is in strong hands. But it’s not a victory<br />

until we start putting people to work building the new,<br />

clean-energy economy. It’s not a victory until we end<br />

the disaster in Iraq. It’s not a victory until Americans<br />

everywhere who don’t have health care can breathe easy<br />

because we’ve got them covered.<br />

The last eight years was important. But the next eight are<br />

even more important.<br />

And so we can’t stop now. We mustn’t stop now. If we<br />

sit down, if we go back to life as normal, if we stop<br />

fighting, it’ll mean we failed to learn the lesson of the last<br />

eight years.<br />

We can’t wait for officials and the media to lead the way.<br />

We can’t assume someone’s got this covered. We have<br />

to take our fate into our own hands. That’s the only thing<br />

that has ever changed things. It’s the only thing that<br />

ever will.<br />

And so I want to thank you for everything you do.<br />

’’<br />

Everything you’ve done. It’s been the greatest honor of my<br />

life to work for you and with you.<br />

But I especially want to thank you for everything you will<br />

do. Let’s go rebuild America.<br />
