    <p>Opponents of a U.S.-led war against Iraq bombarded Senate offices and the White House on Wednesday by fax, phone and e-mail in what organizers billed as the first ``virtual march'' on Washington.</p> <p>Time constraints, child care, commuting conflicts and work schedules make attending demonstrations difficult for many people. But the ``virtual march,'' coordinated by the Win Without War coalition, was accessible to anyone with a phone or a modem, demonstrating how technology continues to influence the way protests are orchestrated.</p>

    Dear MoveOn member, Our Virtual March has been an enormous success -- by some estimates, the Senate and White House received over a million phone calls, faxes, and emails today. Offices on Capitol Hill were busy with the sounds of ringing phones and conversations about the war. And media outlets from the Washington Post to the BBC covered this broad and unprecedented action. A comment we received from a MoveOn member in Connecticut is representative: "I called Lieberman's office, and made my statement, and then I said to the man who answered the phone, 'this must be nuts for you...

    <p>An anti-war "virtual march" yesterday aimed at Capitol Hill led to a deluge of phone calls to some lawmakers' offices but barely had an effect on others.</p> <p>Although organizers of the Virtual March on Washington said 120,000 people had registered with the anti-war Web site www.moveon.org to call Capitol Hill, some offices there reported only moderately more traffic than usual. Others, such as the office of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, had six operators answering continuously ringing lines.</p>
  • Call in Support to The White House! 202-456-1111 (A True Story From This Morning!)

    I spent the last half hour trying to call the White House. When I found out TODAY was the day of the liberal pro-Saddam Coddler "virtual protest", I decided to let the President know there were people out here in America that SUPPORT him.Well, I got lots of "silence" when I dialed the number--evidently the phone lines are jammed. When I didn't get "silence", I got a busy signal. Finally, I got through, after about a half hour. I didn't leave an automated message, I waited for an operator. When the lady finally came on, she asked where I was...
  • GO TEAM: L.A. Radio Deejays To Air "Virtual March On Hollywood" Tomorrow, 2/26/03

    The John and Ken Show, KFI 640, Los Angeles | truthkeeper
    L.A. radio hosts John and Ken, who are normally all over the place - have been strongly supportive of the war effort of late. Every day brings another rant on the French, the U.N., and most especially the Hollywood leftists. Not surprisingly, they've been promoting their big "Virtual March on Hollywood" for about a week now. From what I can glean, it sounds like an organized e-mail effort to bombard the vermin with e-mails, phone calls, etc. (The station promo that was running all day today went like this: "Here's your opportunity to tell these washed-up celebs where to stick...
  • Support President Bush! **REMINDER** Virtual March for Victory

    Far too many Hollywood hypocrites and other protestors claim that they are out for peace when, in all reality we know that they are really out with the goal of advancing a left-wing agenda of anti-Americanism. If September 11th, 2001 has taught the American people, and indeed the people of the world, anything it is that, in an age of extreme peril, we cannot sit idly by as dangers gather. Various ‘anti-war’ groups have declared that February 26, 2003 will be the day on which they will launch a so-called “Virtual March on Washington.” These groups, such as “Win Without...

    <p>Reps. Ellen Tauscher and Tom Lantos were the only Democrats in the Bay Area House delegation to support giving President Bush the authority to go to war with Iraq. And after four months of peace protests, organized e-mail campaigns and street theater -- they haven't changed their minds a bit.</p>

    LMAO. I just got out of an emergency meeting with the sales manager here at work. He told us that he just fired 9 people in his department because he caught them participating in that farce today using company time and equipment. That is considered theft and thus leads to immediate termination at my company. He is able to monitor all of their keystrokes, pageviews, faxes, and phonecalls and they know it yet the dummies still did it. Here are some of the highlights he gave us for just todays traffic. -There were a total of around 1200 phone calls...

    'Win Without War' Releases New Talking Points (2003-02-25) -- Win Without War, the coalition of organizations planning a "virtual march" on Washington, D.C., this week released a new list of talking points to guide people who call the capitol to protest disarming Iraq through threat-of-force. The group encourages callers to use their own "heartfelt" words instead of compelling, thought-out reasons. Here is an excerpt from the talking points list: We can disarm Saddam Hussein without invading Iraq. Despite 12 years of failing to do so, I just feel that we can.A U.S.-led invasion of Iraq would be the greatest terrorist...
