'''Move America Forward''' is an ultra right-wing [[Non-profit organization|non profit]] political action group based in the [[U.S. state]] of [[California]]. Through media-saturation campaigns that include television and radio commercials; [http://www.capitolweekly.net/news/article.html?article_id=618] lobbying politicians at the local, state, and federal levels; and by encouraging grass-roots activism, Move America Forward has sought to advance a conservative agenda that includes the removal of the [[United Nations]] headquarters from the United States, the recalling of state governors it deems too "liberal," restricting what it terms "liberal" or "activist" media, the closing of the [[U.S.-Mexico border]] and the deportation of illegal aliens back to their country of origin, opposition of what it deems "liberal" political candidates and political action groups, and advocacy for conservative political candidates and appointees. Move America Forward vocally supports and advocates the policies of the [[George W. Bush administration|Bush Administration]]. [http://www.capitolweekly.net/news/article.html?article_id=618]

==History==

[[File:Volunteers1.jpg|thumb|Move America Forward volunteers sorting materials to put in care packages.]]

Move America Forward was established in May 2004 by political consultant Sal Russo, former Republican assemblyman [[Howard Kaloogian]] and [[Melanie Morgan]], a talk show host at [[Disney]] owned [[KSFO (AM)|KSFO 560 AM]], both of whom now serve as Move America Forward's co-chairmen. Both Russo and Kaloogian served in key roles in the successful ''Recall Gray Davis Committee'' that prompted the California's 2003 gubernatorial [[California recall election, 2003|California recall election]], Kaloogian as chairman of the recall campaign, Russo as chief strategist. [http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0306/17/se.01.html] In November 2003, one month after the recall election Russo told the Daily News of Los Angeles of the 120,000 recall supporters in his database "We took on the political establishment and won, and they feel empowered, . . . They want to be involved. . . . We'll change the name to something like 'Move America Forward,'" and go national, he predicted. A week later, the Web site address MoveAmericaForward.com was registered to Russo's Russo Marsh & Rogers.[http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2004Q3/maf.html] Both Kaloogian and Russo continued on with Move America Forward in essentially the same roles as in the ''Recall Gray Davis Committee''.

Prominent Move America Forward campaigns have included the closing of the US-Mexico border (the MAF's "Secure Our Borders" campaign) and the ending of amnesty programs to illegal immigrants (through nomoreamnesty.com), support of [[John R. Bolton]], an outspoken critic of the United Nations, to serve as the US representative to the United Nations, and restricting the distribution of the [[Michael Moore]] film ''[[Fahrenheit 911]]''. MAF's border policy is in stark contrast to that of the Bush administration. In [[August 2005]], Move America Forward sponsored a "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" tour to counter [[Cindy Sheehan]]'s protest at President Bush's [[Crawford, Texas]], ranch (and the [[vigil]]s in support of Sheehan that were held around the country).

''K9 Care Packages'', a program to support military working dogs and their handlers, was launched by the organization in October 2011.<ref name=tailsinc>{{cite web|url=http://www.tailsinc.com/2011/12/local-hero-supporting-the-troops%E2%80%99-best-friends/|title=Local Hero – Supporting the Troops' Best Friends|date=1 December 2011|accessdate=1 November 2014}}</ref> Move America Forward was named "Top-rated Nonprofit" by Great Nonprofits in 2014 and 2015.<ref name=greatnonprofits>{{cite web|url=http://greatnonprofits.org/org/move-america-forward|title=Move America Forward|accessdate=1 November 2014}}</ref> That March, the Rogers Family Company donated coffee and tea to Move America Forward for troops.<ref name=rogerscoffee>{{cite web|url=http://www.lincolnnewsmessenger.com/article/rogers-family-company-donates-gourmet-coffee-and-tea-troops-partnership-move-america-forward|title=Rogers Family Company donates gourmet coffee and tea to troops in partnership with Move America Forward|date=31 May 2014|accessdate=1 November 2014}}</ref> Stag Arms partnered with the organization for the 2014 Troopathon in July.<ref name=tacticallife>{{cite web|url=http://www.tactical-life.com/news/stag-arms-helps-raise-funds-for-overseas-troops-during-troopathon-7/|title=Stag Arms Helps Raise Funds For Overseas Troops During Troopathon 7|date=31 July 2014|accessdate=1 November 2014}}</ref>

Malcolm Maclachlan wrote in the Capitol Weekly that Move America Forward "has been criticized for running such advocacy ads while maintaining a 501c3 nonprofit tax status. However, several political watchdogs noted that the group adheres to the letter of the law. For instance, the group does not give to candidates or directly call for people to vote for anyone."

==Controversy==

Though Move American Forward describes itself as "...a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization committed to supporting America’s efforts to defeat terrorism and supporting the brave men and women of our Armed Forces" [http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/MAF/AboutUs], its actions have been almost wholly partisan and hence restricted to the political arena.

In 2016, Move America Forward partnered with the [[Wounded Warrior Project]] to send care packages to troops overseas to show support for those away from their families during the holiday season.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wdrb.com/story/34174532/wounded-warrior-project-empowers-veterans-to-give-back |title=Wounded Warrior Project Empowers Veterans to Give Back |date=January 3, 2017 |publisher=WDRB |access-date=January 11, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113122443/http://www.wdrb.com/story/34174532/wounded-warrior-project-empowers-veterans-to-give-back |archive-date=2017-01-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wfmj.com/story/34174591/wounded-warrior-project-empowers-veterans-to-give-back |title=Wounded Warrior Project Empowers Veterans to Give Back |date=January 3, 2017 |publisher=WFMJ |access-date=January 11, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113135446/http://www.wfmj.com/story/34174591/wounded-warrior-project-empowers-veterans-to-give-back |archive-date=2017-01-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2004, whatreallyhappened.com published an online exposé revealing the ties of Move America Forward to the GOP PR firm Russo Marsh & Rogers. Using a [[___domain name]] look-up service, whatreallyhappened.com showed that Russo Marsh & Rogers established the Move America Forward website. Siobhan Guiney, Executive Director of Move America Forward, admitted that Russo Marsh & Rogers did register the site for them and that the two groups shared a building and a phone receptionist [http://www.pacificviews.org/weblog/archives/000202.html]. Not long after the exposé Move America Forward purged all references to Russo Marsh & Rogers from its ___domain registration, going to so far as to list a Sacramento bar as its registrant phone number at one point. [http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/moveamericaforward.html]

Move America Forward received a 2 out of 4 star rating from Charity Navigator.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12342#.VjkXPK6rSt9|title=Move America Forward|publisher=Charity Navigator|accessdate=November 3, 2015}}</ref> Guidestar rated the organization as a Platinum Participant.<ref name=guidestar>{{cite web|url=http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/84-1627277/move-america-forward.aspx|title=Move America Forward|accessdate=3 November 2014}}</ref>

When asked about the seeming disparity between Move America Forward's mission of supporting the troops in America's war on terror and its history of advocating for the conservative policies and agenda set forth by the Bush Administration, Siobhan Guiney, Executive Director of MAF, stated: "He's our Commander in Chief. It's his policies in place [and we] have to support those policies." [http://www.pacificviews.org/weblog/archives/000202.html]

==Policies and programs==

Additional controversy erupted in August 2005 centered around Move America Forward's <cite>"You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy!"</cite> campaign countering the protest of [[Cindy Sheehan]]. Observers and the press have noted that some pro-Bush activists in the MAF entourage were aggressively confrontational and verbally abusive, calling the anti-war protesters "communists", saying they are "aiding and abetting the enemy".[http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/08/25/news/top_stories/21_12_198_24_05.txt]

[[File:Volunteers8.jpg|thumb|Care packages ready for shipping.]]

The organization annually hosts "Troopathon", an 8-hour live online broadcast that it says it uses to help send packages to American troops.<ref name=propublica/> The fundraiser hosts movie stars, TV personalities, elected officials, professional athletes, musicians, talk radio hosts and many other supporters.<ref name=ammoland/>

In a partnership with the [[Jelly Belly|Jelly Belly Company]], Move America Forward introduced a program where soldiers would receive specially wrapped 2 oz. bags of jelly bellies to use as gift to the native people they were in contact on a daily basis with.<ref name=freenews>{{cite web|url=http://www.freenewspos.com/news/article/c/1476084/today/exposures-i-care-gifts-bring-comfort-help-troops-make-friends|title=Exposures: I Care: Gifts bring comfort, help troops make friends|accessdate=1 November 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141101202942/http://www.freenewspos.com/news/article/c/1476084/today/exposures-i-care-gifts-bring-comfort-help-troops-make-friends|archivedate=1 November 2014}}</ref><ref name=veooz>{{cite web|url=http://www.veooz.com/news/mH6hHY2.html|title=Exposures: I Care: Gifts bring comfort, help troops make friends|accessdate=1 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102010354/http://www.veooz.com/news/mH6hHY2.html|archive-date=2014-11-02|url-status=dead}}</ref> Each specially marked package displays these words in English, Arabic, and [[Pashto language]]: "A gift from the America People in hope that your country will one day enjoy the freedom and opportunities that we have in the United States."<ref name=freenews/><ref name=veooz/>

In April 2006 controversy erupted again when Kaloogian's campaign website posted a picture on his website that he claimed depicted a peaceful Baghdad neighborhood, and the claims that the Iraq conflict was going well. Quickly, however, internet watchdogs correctly identified the picture as coming from Istanbul, Turkey, and the picture was removed. Kaloogian later said using the photo was "a stupid mistake".[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/03/30/BAGD9I0HQP1.DTL]

==Controversy==

===Nonprofit status===

In 2014, [[ProPublica]] released a report accusing Move America Forward of giving a percentage of its donations to for-profit companies run by people affiliated with Tea Party Express.<ref name=propublica>{{cite web|url=https://www.propublica.org/article/pro-troop-charity-misleads-donors-while-lining-political-consultants-pocket|title=Pro-Troop Charity Misleads Donors While Lining Political Consultants' Pockets|date=5 August 2014|author=Kim Barker|accessdate=1 November 2014}}</ref><ref name=slate>{{cite web|url=http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/08/05/the_pro_troop_charity_that_happens_to_give_millions_of_dollars_to_tea_party.html|title=The Pro-Troop Charity That Happens to Give Millions of Dollars to "Tea Party" Consultants|author=David Weigel|date=5 August 2014 |accessdate=1 November 2014}}</ref><ref name=hotair/>

On September 9, 2006 the [[Sacramento Bee]] ran the article <cite>Iraq war backers proudly pugnacious — But critics say Move America Forward may abuse nonprofit status</cite> by Todd Milbourn. In it Milbourn detailed a number of issues with Move American Forward's activities that might affect its nonprofit status. Chief among these were concerns public donations to MAF may be indirectly or directly subsidizing partisan activity prohibited nonprofit organizations by law. Milbourn cited as evidence the statement by Melanie Morgan that the Bush administration is running "one of the most inept communications departments I've seen." and "That's one of the reasons we started Move America Forward", "This administration is unable to articulate clearly why we went to Iraq, why we are there and why we're winning the war."<ref name="nonprofit_status"><cite>Iraq war backers proudly pugnacious But critics say Move America Forward may abuse nonprofit status</cite> Todd Milbourn. Sacramento Bee, September 9, 2006.</ref> He also noted that Move America Forward shares its office with Russo's PR firm, that one of Russo's private clients is the government of [[Kurdistan]] in northern Iraq and that his firm is running a campaign encouraging investment there. Milbourn says the [[Center for Media and Democracy]] has questioned whether the contract poses a conflict for Russo, given Move America Forward's promotion of the war.<ref name="nonprofit_status"/>

==FundingReferences==

{{Reflist|2}}

Move America Forward has raised about $1.2 million, mostly from small, undisclosed donors, Russo has said. Most of the money, $693,456, has been spent on television and radio spots and rallies, tax records show. About $113,000 funded programs directly benefiting soldiers, such as mailing them cookies, coffee and beef jerky.<ref name="nonprofit_status"/>
