MoveOn.org is an internet grassroots issues organizing project with nearly 2 million members throughout the United States. It was created in 1998 during the campaign to impeach then-President Bill Clinton, after public opinion surveys showed that most Americans opposed impeachment, instead wanting Congress to "censure and move on" to other important national business.

Win Without War is a coalition of national organizations representing broad constituencies that aim to keep America safe by advocating that international cooperation and enforceable international law provide the greatest security for the United States and the world. The coalition offers a mainstream, patriotic voice for engaging opinion makers, activating concerned citizens, and communicating to the media.
