Win Without War -- Do this NOW!

My dear friend Katie just sent me this a little while ago. It only takes a few minutes (less than 5), and it is important that you act now! If you didn't get a chance to take part in the protests, here is your chance. Let your voice be heard!

On February 26th (today!) Moveon.org/WinWithoutWar plans a Virtual March on Washington.

You can send a free fax to your local representative. Here is a sample, which you can customize if you wish.

Dear Senator:

I am a constituent of yours and I write today as a participant in Win Without War's Virtual March. I am one of the majority of Americans concerned that President Bush's rush to war is dangerous and unnecessary.

Our nation needs to support tough United Nations inspections. Going to war with Iraq will kill thousands of civilians and soldiers, create an atmosphere that breeds terrorists, and divert money from programs that can really create a safer and more just society.

Please do everything you can to support the inspections process and resist our nation rushing to war.

Here is the latest from MoveOn.org. [Note: They especially need people in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Montana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming.]

From: Wes Boyd, MoveOn.org
Subject: 85,000 already. We need more.
Date: February 23, 2003

Dear MoveOn member,

So far, over 85,000 of us have signed up to be a part of Wednesday's
Virtual March on Washington. It's been incredible. That's well over
our goal of an average of one call per minute per Senate office.
If you haven't registered yourself, just go to:

Now, we really could use your help in getting calls committed in
the less populous states in the nation:

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky,
Nebraska, Montana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming.

If you live in one of these states, be sure to sign up. Then call
friends and ask them to register and make the calls on February 26th.

If you're originally from one of these less populous states, now's
the time to call home and talk to friends and family.

The Virtual March has already been a tremendous success with news
coverage from all the major news outlets. You can see our TV
commercial promoting the march, featuring Martin Sheen, on the
registration page:

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 -- more than 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. You can sign up for your time to call or to place a free
fax right now at the link above.

Thanks for everything.

Sincerely,
--The MoveOn Team
