From CNN:

The alliance protesting the move includes liberal activist group MoveOn,
the conservative activist group RightMarch.com, the U.S. Humane Society,
labor and environmental groups and online medical communities.

AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham replied: "There is no substantive news
here, just because some disparate groups of advocates have come together
for an event reminiscent of the bar scene in the first 'Star Wars' movie."
