23. They will reject ads paid for and produced by grassroots groups
If we have the cover of the Democratic party, or some establishment lobbyist or nonprofit group, they will take money and air the ads.

I think MoveOn is too (small d) democratic, too grassroots, and the organizational model works too well for the corporations to allow it.

These new grassroots organizations hooked together by email and the internet might be able to effectively keep the corporations in check though... This is not over. Perhaps we will televise the revolution ourselves?
