As with a lot of repeating stuff, Javascript can help you here! This short script will move all items to the left by '-4' in your current units. (So if your setup is in inches, you might want to start with a somewhat smaller value 
)
Change the '-4' into whatever you want — negative moves to the left, positive to the right.
nudgeAll();
else
app.doScript(nudgeAll, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, “Nudge All”);
function nudgeAll ()
{
for (i=0; i<app.activeDocument.allPageItems.length; i++)
try {
app.activeDocument.allPageItems[i].move (undefined, [4, 0]);
} catch (e) {}
}
(Edit: hmm, on hindsight I'd better add an undo for this!)
