In a letter addressed to Senate minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, moveon&#8217;s executive director, Rahna Epting, conveyed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/flashback-mitch-mcconnell-received-donations-from-voting-machine-lobbyists-before-blocking-election-security-bills\/\" title=\"Flash...: Mitch McConnell ... Donations from Voting Machine Lobbyists Before Blocking Election Security Bills\">grassroots support<\/a> is weakening due to frustrations over the Democrats&#8217; strategies.According to a poll conducted by MoveOn, a important majority of respondents believe that congressional Democrats are not adequately opposing Trump, and nearly half indicated they are less likely to volunteer or donate to the party consequently. The letter emphasizes the need for a unified and aggressive strategy against Trump&#8217;s agenda, warning that failure to act could lead to losing vital grassroots funding.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Left-wing group MoveOn threatens grassroots funding over inaction against Trump<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2042640\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A prominent liberal group is warning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Democratic leaders<\/a> that they will lose base supporters over the Democratic Party&rsquo;s strategies, or lack thereof, in pushing back against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">President Donald Trump&rsquo;s administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>MoveOn, a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">large progressive organization<\/a>, wrote<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=00000195-c5cb-d94d-ab9f-f5db2b400000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"> in a letter <\/a>to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) that its members are frustrated by what they view as a lack of urgency and action to oppose the Trump administration.
