:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 2.19.2003 ::
:: A Virtual March on Washington ::
I must admit that I heard about this on CNN, playing in the background while I was working today. Janeane Garafolo was one of the celebrities announcing the campaign, and when she speaks, hell... I take note.
"MoveOn.org is hosting the online action center for the Virtual March on Washington on February 26th, sponsored by The Win Without War Coalition."
"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."
Worth looking into.
