Anti-War Groups Planning Phone Campaign By SAM HANANEL Associated Press Writer

February 19, 2003, 12:23 PM EST

WASHINGTON -- 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.

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."

"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.

I think is really about time to take on these celebs on. Maybe it's time to begin boycotting any products endorsed by these yoyos. I'm going to make a list of all of all of the West Wing sponsors and tell them that I will no longer buy their products as long as they advertise on that show. I've really had it with some of these scumbags.

If you can get a list - please post it.

Also, the FreeRepublic should try to counter these vermin by
flooding Congressional E-Mail boxes with letters supporting the war.

One word: Treason!

[Campion]

We can contain Saddam Hussein without killing innocent people, diverting us from the war on terrorism

Someone explain to this moron Sheen that the war against Hussein is the war on terrorism.

I wish that one of those POS's would call my house, I'd have a few choice words for their commie @sses!

[GiveEmDubya]

It's funny how Martin Sheen thinks that just because he plays the president on TV he has real experience and relevance in the foreign policy arena.

I never watched The West Wing nor do I know anyone who does. It can't be as good as they (liberals) say it is.

[SirFishalot]

Better yet, What if we were to get a list of every phone number for NBC and overload them with our outrage. Then we can do it to the sponsors.

[katana]

I hope they call. Thinking about it, I keep seeing Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman with his eyes dancing back and forth saying, "Wait'll they get a load of me!"

I understand Rob Reiner is up in arms over the latest revelations that second-hand thought is hazardous to society's health. Studies have shown that violence from Hollywood films may cause death in children and other gang members. Therefore Reiner has proposed a NEW TAX on MOVIE TICKETS to be spent combating the scourge of cheap killing movies like the Academy acclaimed GANGS OF NEW YORK.

'Marty' Sheen, that brooding intellectual giant, is actually only remembered because of the peculiar underwater sound of his voice in Apocolyspe Now

[SirFishalot]
