24:55 ET MoveOn Statement Electoral

One of the powerful Democratic defense to meet a long statement, the poll on election results last night. Full text below:

* * * Last night

was devastating, no doubt. Our members spent months working tirelessly for our heroes progressive Democrats to help keep the house -. And the results are far from what we wanted

We are pleased that our progressive hero, Barbara Boxer, will return to Congress, but we are deeply saddened by the loss Russ Feingold, Tom Perriello and Alan Grayson, all who have fought for progressive principles and the American middle class. These people ran with pride in their records, but in the end as Democratic incumbents, the combination of voter discontent and the box was too much for companies to overcome.

We have witnessed significant achievements in the past two years, children have more health care, more Americans are protected from predatory practices on Wall Street, and most students can afford to go to university. But Republicans and business groups face as the Chamber of Commerce, with the help of Fox News, consistently misled the American people about the nature of those earnings.

voters certainly a most desperate fighting for the middle class instead of seeing the successful lobbying to protect Wall Street bonuses, the option to strip the reform of public health, protect exemption from competitive insurers, kill “cram-down” legislation that could have helped homeowners, and see the energy bill in a jam. If they were motivated by self-interest, a genuine belief in their ability to compromise, the political calculus, or dread, too many Democrats were ready to go on.

Democrats who chose to play ball with corporate interests were not friends, not only the voters turn their backs on them, but so did the industries that sought to placate. Glenn Nye Blanche Lincoln, the game-that-unless the Democrats have been fired. Business interests and multimillionaires cash spilled oil unprecedented political attack ads affecting not only front-line Democrats, but rotating seats and safe in bitter struggles for survival. This means we now have a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, which is mainly large companies and a handful of wealthy donors. And suggests they claim to defend democratic principles, while quietly playing into the corporate interests and is not a winning political strategy.

Our

country still faces many challenges as they try to recover from the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. The elections of last night was not a mandate for the Republican vision of America, which is based on tax cuts for the super-rich and privatizing Social Security and Medicare. But, last night we saw a frustrated and nervous electorate rejecting the status quo in the only way possible: by a vote of those in power. And really saw frustration operated by companies front groups whose sole interest is to promote their own political agenda.

The problems facing our nation are not small, nor are the solutions we need. The Democrats do not hand over the reins of power today. They still have time to do fantastic things to help go our country forward before the Republicans took control of the House. Now is not the time to flinch. Now is the time for Democrats to show they are truly committed to fighting on behalf of the middle class. Before handing the gavel, Democrats need to end the Bush tax cuts for the super-rich, and pass a law to stem the flow of cash from businesses and anonymous millionaires that is corrupting our elections. If the Democrats abandon their responsibilities and leave the city without carrying out these objectives, they have not learned the real lessons of this election.

Our

members worked for change in 2004, in 2006, in 2008. Our work now to celebrate this new Congress accountable, and are more determined than ever to work again for the change in 2012.
