Who started moveon.org

[kerryin2004]

From what I remember it was started during the Clinton Admin, but I cannot remember by who? Does anyone know or should I go to Moveon and hunt this info down? Also was it someone that at one time was in the Clinton admin?

3. I was started by Wes Boyd, who created the Flying toaster screen saver

and Joan Blades(I think that is her name).

MoveOn.org was orginally called Censure and Move On in response to the Impeachment farce that the Repukes were orchestrating against Clinton. MoveOn started as a petition web site and instantly grew to 500,000 members. After the Impeachment process was over, membership declined to 400K. MoveOn founders were going to close the site after the Impeachment failed, but the remaining member wanted to continue working together so the MoveOn created a PAC to help unseat the Republicans who supported Clinton's Impeachment process.

Membership now is around 1.5 million and the PAC is still going strong.
