(Via e-mail) MoveOn wants to punish my rep for voting against health care deform:

In the wake of Rep. Stephen Lynch's vote against health care reform, many progressives have expressed frustration with him—and now he's facing a serious primary challenge.

Mac D'Alessandro is the New England Political Director for the progressive Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and he's pledging to "be on the side of consumers and workers, and not on the side of health insurance companies and big banks."

"We think it's good for voters to have a choice," they continue, in an apparent break from their posture during the presidential primaries in 2008 and (if Obama runs for re-election) surely in 2012, as well.
