Take Capitol by Phone
Described as the first “Virtual March” on Washington, anti-war protestors from around the country deluged the Senate and White House with a coordinated barrage of phone calls, faxes and e-mails.
The organizers, a coalition group called [url=http://www.winwithoutwarus.org/]Win Without War[/url], estimated that up to half a million people tried to communicate electronically with officials in Washington. A running total on the campaign’s virtual HQ listed nearly 400,000 calls by 5 p.m. EST.
“We are overwhelmed by the reception we’re getting,” said Tom Andrews, Win Without War’s national director. “I’ve just come back from the Capitol. The phones are very busy in every Senate office.”
