Default MoveOn.org solicitation

MoveOn.org is soliciting members to send letters to newspapers whining
about Sarah Palin. Part of their solicitation goes like this:

"One of the best ways to get the word out about Palin is to write a letter
to the editor of your local paper. Today's a great day to write because
this is very relevant--it just happened last night. Plus, our online tool
makes it easy and has great tips. Please take a few minutes to write a
quick letter to the editor now:

Palin's speech and the reaction to it also made clear why McCain picked
her. It wasn't a decision about who's most qualified to serve a heart-beat
away from the presidency--it was a political decision about pleasing the
far-right base of the Republican party."

They make it very easy to send a letter to many newspapers. So I did. Maybe
you'll feel like doing the same. Here's an example:

Subject: Move-on.Org

Move-on.org is soliciting letters to the editor through emails to members.
The organization is hoping to get newspapers such as yours to carry many
letters opposed to Sarah Palin and her positions. Move-on.org assumes that
you will print all these letters, perhaps because they consider you biased.

But, we know better. Don't we?
