NRSC Launches MoveOnByrd.org

Washington, D.C. - The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) launched the website http://www.moveonbyrd.org/ in honor of Senator Byrd's cozy relationship with one of the most liberal special interest groups in the country. Thus far, Senator Byrd has raised at least $834,000 from MoveOn.org, a group that failed to defeat President Bush in the last election despite having spent millions on attack ads.

"The website clearly demonstrates that Senator Byrd's blame America first agenda is out of touch with mainstream West Virginians and it is time for a change," said NRSC spokesman Brian Nick. "At this point in his career, he is clearly more comfortable with the ideology of the radical left than the values of West Virginians."
