Please DO NOT REPLY to this email. ********************************** -------- Hi You say moveon.org sends only solicited mail to people who sign up for your activist alerts. I can assure you that our webmaster account webmaster () usa com did not sign up for this. Further, the people that read this account are not located in the USA, and therefore would not at all be interested in taking part in a march on the white house. As a matter of fact our webmaster team is located in Hong Kong. Do I understand that by extending them this invitation, you plan to invite them over from Hong Kong, and pay their airfare / hotel and other expenses? Hmm - I see that this particular petitioner has also got himself a rather large list of webmaster addresses from various other countries (I count a huge bunch of Brazilian addresses in the cc field of the spam below, for example).

We are asking Congress to stop the Bush administration's rush to war, and to Let the Inspections Work. Time is running out. With your help, on February 26th, every Senate office will receive a call EVERY MINUTE from a constituent, as they receive a simultaneous crush of faxes and email. In New York and Washington D.C., "antiwar rooms" will highlight the progress of the day for national media. Local media will visit the "antiwar room" online, to monitor this constituent march throughout the day. With your help, every Senate office switchboard will be lit up all day with our antiwar messages. This will be a powerful reminder of the breadth and depth of opposition to a war in Iraq. Just go to: http://www.moveon.org/winwithoutwar/ Please join me and sign up today. This has never been done before. Let's be part of it. ---------------- [pmk () wawd com - Fri Jun 6 14:48:21 2003]: > > > > Hello: > > You are currently blocking 64.124.204.41, MoveOn.org's > (www.moveon.org) webserver, as a "direct spam source". > > MoveOn.org sends only solicited mail to folks who have signed up, via > the MoveOn.org website, for updates on political issues.
