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

ABC News ^ | 2/19/03

Well, is their a way we can turn the tables? We can overwhelme their communications systems JUST AS EASILY. See, they are operating as nonprofits....so they don't get the 'telemarketing-do not call' protection as issued by the FCC and states.

I have an autorespond. I can organize email campagnes to keep their email systems overloaded. Does anyone want to work with me on this? I am a work at home 'mommy'. I can't go to war in the overseas theatre. But I can enter the communications infrastructure theatre. I am the own of a communications business >:)

Who wants to work with me :)

[yonif]

Anyone know what the site address is? I want to register and then when its my turn to call, I will call in and support the president and his foreign policy.

[areafiftyone]

Let me know what I can do. I can't do anything at work because I don't want to jeopardize my job, but I can do stuff at home if need be. Just let me know. Freepmail me. This is getting to be ridiculous!!

[Calpernia]

Bush dragging his feet? I believe the UN did that. And how can a strike be launched with Inspectors within the theatre?

Bush is guilty of using measures that were in place. In other words, he tried to do the right thing.

[Mo1]

I've heard those groups are behind this, but where are they getting their money ..

[Calpernia]

Iraq.

What would 15 phone callers accomplish?

Sierra Club

Adding to the irony that forcible removal of Saddam is widely unpopular with Muslims, even though Saddam has murdered more Muslims than any other modern political leader, here we have the Sierra Club defending from justice the greatest environmental criminal in modern history.

Are the envidiots unaware of the following crimes of Saddam, all committed quite intentionally?

1) Pumping crude oil into the Persian Gulf, creating the largest oil slick in human history, equivalent to 15 or 20 Exxon Valdez spills? (It would have been even more if the American military had not been able to stop it.)

2) Torching of the Kuwaiti oil fields, poisoning millions of inhabitants of the region, and releasing tons of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.

3) The complete and systematic destruction, with the draining of the marshes at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, of the most ecologically diverse and productive biome in the entire region (done to remove hiding places and refuges for the Marsh Arabs, who were then slaughtered in tens to hundreds of thousands, and more internally exiled). These marshes were home to hundreds upon hundreds of species of birds alone, not to mention plants and fishes. There is widespread agreement among Iraqi dissidents and expats that a project to reconstitute and restore the marshes should be undertaken, but this will never occur with Saddam in power.

Denial of Service. To Phones, Faxes, Emails, Websites.

It is a manually created virus. It would be illegal if they weren't HIDING behind the pretext of nonprofit.

The People’s Rights Fund is a fiscal sponsor for the International Action Center and A.N.S.W.E.R., including demonstrations, teach-ins and other activities held in Washington on September 29, 2001, and April 20 and the recent June 1 National Anti-war conference in New York City and a protest at FBI headquarters on June 29 as well as the upcoming Independent Commissions of Inquiry into U.S.-backed Israeli War Crimes. The People’s Rights Fund is sponsoring the holding of educational events to inform the people of the U.S. about the dangers of a new war initiated by the U.S. government, about the racist attacks in this country, and concerning the threats to civil liberties to the people of this country. The Fund is also sponsoring the production of educational materials on these subjects.

HERE IS SOME INFO ON THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS FUND:

The People's Rights Fund, inc., which was established in 1986, is a not-for-profit foundation. As a 50l(c)(3) foundation, donations to it are tax-deductible. The fund provides an alternative to the mainstream charities. It provides funding for educational progams on peace, civil rights, civil liberties, economic inequality, anti-repression and social justice issues. To that end, it allocates grants which fund conferences, meetings, seminars, classes, national speaking tours and other activities around the country which fulfill its goal of educating the public about important international and local issues. It also seeks to provide funding for the dissemination of information not found in the daily print or electronic media. To that end, it donates funds to organizations for the purposes of publishing books, pamphlets, fact sheets, and other literature and for producing videos which educate the public about the above issues.

They are about to find out. Freepmail me with any nutty organizations I need to add to my autoresponder for the email campagne that will be launched.

Each email they receive will have a list of horrors committed by the B'aath.

[Grampa Dave]

So who did you vote for president in 2000.

How does he stand on the upcoming war against Iraq?

[Luna]

diverting us from the war on terrorism and putting us all at risk."

But I thought going after Saddam is part of the war on terrorism. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for clarifying, Mr. Sheen. You should be the real president. /heavy sarcasm/

This anti-war frenzy is simply a bunch of democrats, socialists, and communists with a rallying point in which to march for, against the election of President Bush - something they still cry themselves to sleep over, nightly. Grow up and get over it! It ain't working!

[cake_crumb]

Years of containment which contained nothing...and now they protest. If they so love Saddam, WHY weren't they protesting when American and British forces bombed Iraqi SAM installations in the no-fly zones? Because they knew Bubba would never take the next step and get rid of the guy who's country has drained so much of our resources for so many years??

[archy]

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

Weasels, weasels, weasels!

[snippy_about_it]

I don't see why not...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

I think I'll go visit the enemy camp.

What do we need to do?
