Move On founders Wes Boyd and Joan Blades started their organization with a 1998 petition urging Congress to censure President Clinton, drop impeachment proceedings, and "move on." The group itself has moved on, expanding its political activism. This volume offers advice from members on how to become active in the political process--registering voters and contacting publications about issues, for example. The writers share a Democratic outlook, often emphasizing their opposition to the war in Iraq as a key issue. Reading styles vary, with many entries read by their authors, while others are read by professional voices. This production is aimed at activating the already committed, although some of its advice could prove useful to people throughout the political spectrum. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
