  MoveOn's agenda is set by its 5 million members. That happens via open agenda-setting processes that all members are invited to take part in, via surveys that go out to members every day, via membership votes on candidate endorsements and major issues like whether to support the health care bill or debt ceiling deal, via feedback that members send every day about proposed actions, and through the simple mechanism of members' individual decisions about whether to participate in a particular action.
  
  MoveOn is its members. We work on issues where there's both real passion and broad agreement among MoveOn members. If we did otherwise, members would stop participating and we wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.
