>Dear MoveOn member,
>
>In April, more than half a million MoveOn members across the country took
>to the streets -- or at least to their driveways -- to hold fundraising
>bake sales as part of MoveOn PAC's "Bake Back the White House". It was a
>tremendous success: together we raised close to $750,000 in small,
>cookie-sized chunks.
>
>Today, we're continuing that tradition with the Great MoveOn PAC Virtual
>Yard Sale. For the next 2 weeks, we're asking MoveOn members from coast to
>coast to clean out their basements and garages, and put their extra stuff
>up for sale to help take our country back. Using our eBay-based online
>catalog, you can sell everything from beanie babies to toaster ovens to
>old movie posters to benefit an exciting new program.
>
>To join the Virtual Yard Sale, all you need to do is post your item on
>eBay and "link" it to our catalog. Then, when the eBay auction is over,
>you can contribute the proceeds to us. It's that simple, and we'll walk
>you through the whole process.

>Proceeds from the Virtual Yard Sale will get us closer to our $5 million
>goal for Leave No Voter Behind, MoveOn PAC's massive precinct-by-precinct
>program to get out the vote. This program will hire 500 organizers, cover

>swing states. You can help make this groundbreaking program possible -- by
>auctioning off your old stuff!
