A coalition of groups opposed to a U.S.-led war in Iraq will have supporters call, fax and e-mail the White House and Congress next week in an effort to overwhelm switchboards and catch the attention of political leaders.

"Last weekend, we marched in the streets," former Rep. Tom Andrews, D-Maine, national director of Win Without War, told a news conference Wednesday. "Next week, we're taking it to the suites of official Washington."

Organizers of the "virtual march" on Washington are calling on supporters to call, fax or e-mail their two U.S. senators and the White House during business hours on Feb. 26.

The group also unveiled a new television ad featuring actor Martin Sheen, who plays the fictional President Josiah Bartlet on NBC's "The West Wing." In the ad, which begins airing Thursday, Sheen urges Americans to take part in the call-in effort.

"Our message to Washington will be clear," Sheen says in the ad. "Don't invade Iraq. We can contain Saddam Hussein without killing innocent people, diverting us from the war on terrorism and putting us all at risk."

Participants who register for the call-in campaign at the group's Web site will be directed to make their phone calls at specific times, Andrews said. The goal is to record one call per minute in every Senate office and at the White House.

"We're hoping there will be thousands and thousands of phone calls," he said.

Sheen, along with other West Wing cast members and actress Janeane Garofalo, was appearing later Wednesday at a press conference in Los Angeles to discuss the new ad and the campaign.

The ad, produced by Win Without War, will air initially on CNN and other cable networks in Washington and Los Angeles at a cost of $30,000.

Win Without War is a coalition of more than 30 organizations opposed to war with Iraq, including the National Council of Churches, National Organization for Women, NAACP and the Sierra Club.

The acronym for Win Without War is WWW, but it actually has many other, more relevant meanings:

We Wislike W
Witless Wimpy Winguts
Wetting our Widdle Wundies

Hello Dumbass.. Taking out Saddam IS part of the War on Terrorism.

"Our message to Washington will be clear," Sheen says in the ad. "Don't invade Iraq. We can contain Saddam Hussein without killing innocent people, diverting us from the war on terrorism and putting us all at risk."

Yeah, just like we "could" cotain Al Queda under the Taliban. Right.

Killing innocent people? Umm...how are the people in Iraq now? (I HATE WHEN THESE MORONS DON'T EVEN CRITISIZE SADDAM FOR HIS ACTIONS)

Diverting us from the war on terrorism? I guess Saddam harboring terrorist groups in his country is not enough, I guess Saddam, being the only leader of the world that did not condemn the 9/11 attacks, is not enough, I guess Saddam giving $25000 to terrorist Palestinian families in the Middle East is not TERRORIST enough. What a bunch of Crap.

Oh they are hold a special screening for Saddam. Hollywierd just loves Saddam and so do the Peaceniks! HEY SADDAM DON"T FORGET THE POPCORN - ITS A COMEDY!!

>>>>>>Sheen, along with other West Wing cast members and actress Janeane Garofalo<<<<<<<

My wife hit this one on the head last night:

"Why would anyone listen to a person that is such a loser that they can only be successful by pretending to be some one else."

[Mo1]

OK .. Now where in the heck is all the money coming from to pay for all of these stunts they have been doing over the last few month

They are dishing out some big bucks for this campaign of theirs

[Stefan Stackhouse]

This sounds like a "denial of service" terrorist attack.

Couldn't Freepers register, get assigned a time to call and then give OUR advice?

Anti-War Groups Planning Phone Campaign (LOSERS ALERT!)

What I've noticed on talk radio here in Los Angeles during the past couple of weeks
are a LOT of "Life-long Republicans" calling in to express opposition to Dubya and
bringing Saddam to heel.

Last night, Al Rantel of KABC (790 AM) even caught one "Republican" caller in his
lie when the "Republican" caller said "YOU REPUBLICANS must learn that you are not
always right!".

Rantel was shrewd enought to ask the caller how he could be a Republican...and then use
the term "YOU REPUBLICANS"...
the guy started a nervous laugh...but it was clear that Rantel smoked out a "ringer"
from the anti-freedom/anti-Dubya protestor crowd.

"Spam Is Not The Answer"

[areafiftyone]

Okay if you really want to know - Here is where they are getting their money - A.N.S.W.E.R and also United for Peace

[Diddle E. Squat]

Whine Without Warrant

[weegee]

Rush had a caller today who said she was not against the war and then proceeded to spout some antiwar rhetoric.

If these people want peace and they are willing to travel to Iraq (as the human cannon fodder are doing), then why don't they protest Saddam's violent nation in Iraq?
