FREEPERS - MARTIN SHEEN wants YOU to CALL WASHINGTON 02/26/03 and TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK!
Win Without War ^ | Becki Snow

Posted on 02/19/2003 2:59:24 PM PST by dandelion

FREEPERS! Martin Sheen of the West Wing is calling for volunteers to shut down Washington DC February 26, 2003 with an e-mail, fax and call-in campaign. He wants the American people to tell Washington WHAT WE REALLY THINK!. Hey, FREEPERS can do that. Sign up for a time slot and help out! Here's the call from their website -

"Virtual March on Washington Headquarters Welcome. MoveOn.org is hosting the online headquarters for the Virtual March on Washington on February 26th, sponsored by the Win Without War Coalition.

Please join us NOW for the march.

On February 26th, every Senate office will receive a call every minute from a constituent, as they receive a simultaneous flood of faxes and e-mail. Hundreds of thousands of people from across the country will send the collective message: Don't Attack Iraq. Every Senate switchboard will be lit up throughout the day with our message -- a powerful reminder of the breadth and depth of opposition to a war in Iraq. And on that day, "antiwar rooms" in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles will highlight the day's progress for the national media, while local media can visit the "antiwar room" online to monitor this constituent march throughout the day.

We need your help NOW to make the Virtual March a reality. You can (1) prepare a free fax for transmission on the day of the march, and (2) register to make phone calls to Congress on the day of the march below. We're lining people up for every minute of the day in every state. Faxes are very easy and phone calls are the most effective. Do both or do whatever you can."

FREEPERS, don't want to sign up and do your part? During this time of war and crisis, they want people to shut down Washington DC and TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHAT WE REALLY THINK. Of course, FREEPERS, let's SIGN UP with Win Without War and volunteer to TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHAT WE REALLY THINK.

Also, it would be very supportive if, on that day, at the very times we were signed up to make our virtual march, every Freeper were to email, fax, and call Moveon.org, and "Win Without War"to tell THEM what we really think...

Martin Sheen should have paid attention to his garbage son the way he does with this war. He is a lemon of a parent. The greatest failure of all!

You are right about the faxes and even maybe the e-mails...after the first 20 or 50 they aren't going to keep reading, they'll just count them.....phone instead, make your voice heard.

I signed up with a fake address, and my spam email. I will call in around 3PM and say I support Bush, his foreign policy, etc.

This is what I told this organization I was going to say
"Sept. 11 showed us that we don't need war. It is better to wait until we get attacked and then go after the terrorists, even when we know our enemies are planning an attack on us, like we do now regarding Saddam Hussein and his murderous, terrorist regime in Iraq."

A fax could be iffy (especially if they're not sending them in as edited), but a phone call should be fine - you are the one telling them what you want. I'd suggest if you're really worried about sending the wrong message to the White House, then you could join in the "turnabout" campaign and send your emails, faxes, and phone calls to the leftist contact numbers and addresses listed above...

Thanks! I just faxed my Senators so they will know I support President Bush's Global War on Terror, and the action against Iraq to liberate millions!

Never mind I see now it says US behind the real address. Kudos for the person who made the other site!

Hey Jeffrey, I plagerized your letter at the Win Without War website and sent it. I urge all Freepers to do the same. Seems as though this virtual march is quite hands-off and they will send whatever you write.


"I am a constituent of yours and I write today as a protestor AGAINST the Win Without War's Virtual March. I am one of the majority of Americans concerned that President Bush's rush to war is JUSTIFIED AND NEEDED. Our nation needs to support tough United Nations inspections. Going to war with Iraq will liberate the oppressed and provide much more security to this great United States. Please do everything you can to support the war effort against Iraq and other terrorist countries"

Now I went to www.truemajority.com and replaced their text with my own.

What is the difference from doing it there and doing it through moveon.org?

Thats what I was trying to tell people.

You have to do it from www.truemajority.com and not moveon.org.


But people told me that it is changed when it goes to the senators. How could they know that? Are they Senators themselves?

Thanks ...

Just signed up for time slots to call. It requests you type in what you will be saying on the calls. The message will be shown on their web site at the time of the call. What a great way to let them post our support of the President and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Why in the world if it is that important to contact ones government would they wait until the 26th? If it truly were important and about stopping a war ... they would be calling TODAY. Not waiting around for the green flag to participate in contacting their government. No, those following (or rather being led) the antiwar 'actors' are being used by them [actors] to lodge the 'leaders' distain for the Bush Administration. Like I said ... if it were truly about stopping a war ... the phones would already be ringing on the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and the 26th.
