An email from MoveOn.org (Virtual March on Washington):

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:

http://www.moveon.org/winwithoutwar/ 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:

http://www.moveon.org/winwithoutwar/

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 Carrie, Eli, Joan, Peter, Wes, Zack MoveOn.org February 23rd, 2003

P.S. Simultaneously, 7000 MoveOn members in 600 cities and towns are making their voices heard in local communities -- in our nationally-coordinated leafleting campaign.

You can join a leafleting team in your neck of the woods at:

It's quite important in my opinion, to hear from people very close to this military conflict as well as Gulf War Veterans. Hopefully Salon.com will get lots of feedback:

War letters. Salon readers -- including an impassioned vet, a woman with a husband in Kuwait, a Gen-Xer who wants better antiwar music and a student sitting alone in Brooklyn watching "Dr. Strangelove" -- tell us how the impending war is changing their lives. [Salon.com]

Luhrs Tower in Phoenix:

This was, I think, the first highrise building in Phoenix. The opening scene from Hitchcock's Psycho was filmed in the building right behind the tower. Especially when the millions of residents are gone, Phoenix can be a pretty spooky place:
