march" against war [3-1-03]

| Join a virtual march on
Washington [Sent on 2-20-03, posted
here on 22-22-03]
Dear MoveOn member,
The New York Times reported yesterday that
"global anti-war protests have put the White House on the defensive."
Between the strong case for tough inspections and the growing domestic and
international opposition to war, the hawks in the Bush Administration are on
the run. We need to keep them there.
We've marched in the streets of New York.
We've marched in over 600 cities around the world. Now it's time to bring
that noise to Washington, where the President and Congress can't escape it.
On February 26th, you can join a massive march on Washington without leaving
your living room. Just go to:
http://www.moveon.org/winwithoutwar/
The Virtual March on Washington is a
first-of-its-kind group effort from the Win Without War coalition. Working
together, we'll direct a steady stream of phone calls -- about one per
minute, all day - to every Senate office in the country, while at the same
time delivering a constant stream of emails and faxes. Think of it as a
march - one by one, we'll be passing through our Senators' offices and the
offices of the White House to let them know how we feel about this war.
Like a normal march, the success of this
campaign depends on how many people participate. All you need to do is make
three phone calls - it won't take more than 15 minutes of your time. But
together with tens of thousands of others, it'll make a huge impression: on
February 26th, in every Senate office and in the White House, the phones
will be ringing off their hooks.
You can sign up for your time to call or
place a free fax right now at:
http://www.moveon.org/winwithoutwar/
Here's what Tom Andrews, a former Member of
Congress and the National Director of the Win Without War Coalition has to
say about the February 26th Virtual March: "Believe me, political leaders in
Washington will get the message when their phones and fax machines light up
- and stay lit up - from morning until night. They will know that there are
a lot of us, that we care deeply about this unnecessary march to war, and
that we are organized. Our message will be heard. But, we absolutely need
you to make this work."
Last Saturday, millions of us in hundreds
of cities around the world voiced our opposition to a war on Iraq. Please
help us bring this dissent to Washington on February 26th, by taking part in
the Virtual March.
Sincerely, --Wes Boyd and Eli Pariser
