WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on
Tuesday received the endorsement of MoveOn.org, a grassroots
organization that has been at the forefront of liberal causes.
MoveOn says the Vermont senator was supported by 78.6 percent of its
membership in an online vote of more than 340,000 members. Hillary
Clinton received 14.6 percent and Martin O'Malley received 0.9 percent
with the remaining members urging no endorsement.
"MoveOn members are feeling the Bern," said Ilya Sheyman, executive
director of MoveOn.org Political Action. "We will mobilize aggressively
to add our collective people power to the growing movement behind the
Sanders campaign, starting with a focus on voter turnout in Iowa and New
Hampshire
