Rep. Mary Peltola has asked MoveOn Political Action, an organization funded by globalist billionaire George Soros, for an endorsement.
In her application to the group asking for its endorsement, Peltola told the organization:
“I have demonstrated a strong track record in advancing policies that align with MoveOn’s mission, including advocating for Alaska Native rights, affordable health care, workers’ rights, and reproductive rights. My work in supporting Indigenous communities and pushing for sustainable economic development showcases my dedication to inclusive and equitable solutions. My pragmatic approach, combined with my ability to build bipartisan support, positions me as a powerful advocate for transformative change,” she wrote, managing to get leftist phrases strung together.
MoveOn said it would only endorse her if more than two-thirds of MoveOn members in Alaska respond to its email request asking them if Peltola should be endorsed. This is typically how the group decides on endorsements and also it’s a method for harvesting voter data from around the country; the request is, in fact, a type of poll. It’s unclear how many members the group has in Alaska.
MoveOn supports the “Defund the Police” movement. It endorsed Joe Biden for president until recently and now endorses Kamala Harris. It has also endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president in the past.
“In defense of Black life, we are demanding that the local government defund the police, that payments to family members come from police pensions, transparency and communications with the families, and for the police stand down against protestors. #BlackLivesMatter,” the MoveOn group wrote in 2020.
“I don’t want anybody saying I’m radical or, you know, out there. I’m as Alaskan as they come,” Peltola said on the radio in 2022. And yet, she’s asking for financial support from a group known for its radicalism.
MoveOn also advocates for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency whose mission it is to investigate border crime and prevent illegal immigration.
Peltola is a member of the “Rural Antifa” Blue Dog Democrats in Congress, a group she co-chairs with Rep. Jared Golden of Maine and Rep. Marie Glusenkamp-Perez of Washington state. The MoveOn group may be a perfect fit, but apparently only if Alaska members of MoveOn vote yes.
“You must be a resident of Alaska’s at-large Congressional District and a MoveOn member prior to today to participate in the endorsement vote. This ballot email is not transferable. If you want to encourage your friends who are also MoveOn members in Alaska’s at-large Congressional District to vote, tell them to look for their personal MoveOn ballot email. Voting is open until 11:59 p.m. local time on Sunday, September 22,” the group says.
MoveOn was founded in the late 1990s by leftists seeking to distract supporters from the sex scandal surrounding President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky by changing the subject. In one of the first political campaigns to go viral on the internet, the concept was to get Congress to not impeach Clinton and to “move on” from that scandal.
In the 2022 election cycle, it had a budget of over $61 million; this year the MoveOn budget is half of that. It takes money from funds associated with the dark-money Arabella Advisors group, which has heavily influence Alaska politics and policies.
“For more than a generation, MoveOn has built independent political power and mobilized the left to elect Democrats and enact progressive change. MoveOn is a bulwark against the radical right, channeling our collective voices to drive progressive foreign policy, protect democracy, and advance justice for all,” the group says.
