MoveOn

MoveOn.org's latest nationwide campaign effort will incorporate two rallies in Kentucky this week, with Wednesday events planned at a gas station in Louisville and a Lexington park. 

The rallies are part of MoveOn.org's "Day of Action for an Oil-Free President" push, which seeks to connect presumptive Republican presidential nominee and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) with oil company interests.

"Big Oil has a new candidate for president: their friend John McCain," reads an annoucement of the campaign on MoveOn.org's political action website. "With 21 oil lobbyists running his campaign, John McCain won't solve our energy crisis."

Supporters of MoveOn.org's cause will gather near a Chevron gas station at 1244 E. Broadway in Louisville at 5:30 pm on Wednesday and Triangle Park in Lexington at 5pm on the same day.

A representative from the campaign of Democratic candidate Greg Fischer told PolitickerKY.com today they were not actively seeking the MoveOn.Org endorsement in the Democratic race for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Mitch McConnell.  read more »
