Austin American-Statesman | Window on Washington: "Virtual March on Washington

By Scott Shepard | Thursday, February 1, 2007, 11:44 AM

MoveOn.org, the Internet-based community of activists, staged a virtual March on Washington Thursday to protest President Bush’s plan to increase the level of U.S. troops in Iraq.

Members of MoveOn went to the Capitol to deliver petitions to Senate offices protesting the 21,500-troop escalation.

But the more significant part of the protest was MoveOn’s attempt to flood the telephones of Senate offices with calls from one million people opposed to the president’s troop “surge.”"
