The Bad Guys...- "Move On", an organization that was born to defend the rights of middle-aged white male philanderers, has moved on to "anti-war" actities (as has been noted in this space). It's behind Martin Sheen's upcoming ad campaign.
They're carrying out a "Virtual March on Washington", via their website.
The good folks at Instapundit, as well as many other blogs of conscience, are asking you to register your opinions. I second this.
When you register, the website assigns you times to call your senators. I plan on joining in.
Here's what I wrote:
I completely support the actions of our President and our military, and those of our allies (UK, Australia, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Poland, Hungary, the Baltic States, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria) to end the dictatorial and repressive regime of Saddam Hussein. Inspections have not, and will not, work to disarm Saddam - indeed, by design, they can not. He has played the US and the UN for fools and patsies for 12 years. It is time to return the country of Iraq to a free and unoppressed Iraqi people.Sign up. Let us know.I repudiate the actions of Martin Sheen, who truly does not act "in my name".
And the only "move on" we need is into Iraq. The only way home is through Baghdad.
More to come.
...and the Good Guys - Adam Yoshida is responding with his Virtual March to Victory.
Various ‘anti-war’ groups have declared that February 26, 2003 will be the day on which they will launch a so-called “Virtual March on Washington.” These groups, such as “Win Without War”, claim to represent the real will of the American people and the people of the world. For far too long that mainstream media has been allowed to represent the views of the protestors as the views of the average American. It’s high time for the great silent majority, that majority who polls show support President Bush and his efforts to defend America, to speak out against the tyranny of this vocal minority which is seeking to use their Hollywood connections, and the complicity of the mainstream media, to impose their views upon the American people.I signed. Hope to see you there. Posted by Mitch at February 20, 2003 08:53 PMTherefore, I am calling for a counter-demonstration, a twin virtual march to show that not all of the people of the world are fooled by the lies of Saddam Hussein. It’s time for the great silent majority of the world- that majority which recognizes the mortal threat posed by the alliance between terrorists and outlaw states- to tell the world that we stand with President George W. Bush...
...On February 26th let us flood the internet with messages of support for the brave forces deployed all across the world as part of the global war on terrorism and messages declaring our support for a war to disarm Iraq and remove the dictator Saddam Hussein from power.
