<BR>> Thousands of antiwar protesters flooded Senate phone<BR>> lines
today as part of a "Virtual March" on<BR>> Washington.<BR>> <BR>> The
phone-in campaign was sponsored by the "Win<BR>> Without War" coalition,
which told Web site readers<BR>> they could "join a massive march on
Washington<BR>> without<BR>> leaving your living room."<BR>> <BR>>

<BR>> Thousands of anti-war activists have been bombarding<BR>> the
White House and senators with phone calls and<BR>> e-mails in a virtual
protest over the Iraq crisis. <BR>> Backed by a number of
celebrities, volunteers<BR>> jammed<BR>> switchboards in Washington DC
in an effort to force<BR>> US<BR>> politicians to think again over the
prospect of war<BR>> in<BR>> the Gulf. <BR>> <BR>>

<BR>> WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 - The Mall was quiet, but the<BR>> switchboard
on Capitol Hill was swamped today as<BR>> anti-war protesters conducted
what they called the<BR>> first "virtual march" on Washington. The
organizers,<BR>> a<BR>> coalition called Win Without War, said that
hundreds<BR>> of thousands of people were sending <BR>> messages by
email, fax and telephone to the Senate<BR>> and<BR>> the White
House.<BR>> <BR>> --------<BR>> <BR>> ROLL CALL: <BR>> WAR

[Subscription needed to view full article.]<BR>> <BR>> . . . An informal
survey of Senate offices found<BR>> nearly all available bodies busily
answering<BR>> incessantly ringing phones as a group called Win<BR>>
Without War carried out its "virtual<BR>> march on Washington."<BR>>
<BR>> The group, led by former Rep. Tom Andrews (D-Maine),<BR>> arranged
to have at least 140,000 constituents call<BR>> their Senators, as well as
the White House, all day<BR>> with the same message: "Don't attack
Iraq."<BR>> <BR>> "I'm sorry, sir, but we're just taking a tally<BR>>
because<BR>> our phones are ringing off the hook," a patient but<BR>>
clearly tiring staffer in Sen. John McCain's office<BR>> told a war
protestor back in the Arizona<BR>> Republican's<BR>> home state.<BR>>
<BR>> In most offices, front-desk aides had ticked off<BR>> hundreds of
calls on scratch sheets by midday,<BR>> intending to just give the Senators
a final number<BR>> when the protest ends at 6 p.m.<BR>> <BR>>
