Analysis
Their name, Move America Forward, could be an attempt to pass itself off to the less informed as MoveOn. It's also possible that their amateurish website design is to make the organization look like a grassroots effort and not a GOP backed PR attack.

Melanie Morgan on Crossfire
Morgan, Vice Chairman of Move America Forward, was on Crossfire June 16th, 2004. In her interview she freely admitted that even though she is part of the movement to stop theaters from showing Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 which her group calls "anti-American", she has not seen the film.
The Russo Marsh & Rogers Link
WhatReallyHappened.com investigation revealed that Move America Forward's web site was originally registered in the name of Russo Marsh & Rogers. Soon after this was discovered and posted to websites, the registrant name was modified to omit the consulting firm. At one point the contact phone number was to a bar in Sacramento.
