Guardian --- Anti-War Groups Planning Phone Campaign

A coalition of groups opposed to a U.S.-led war in Iraq will have supporters call, fax and e-mail the White House and Congress next week in an effort to overwhelm switchboards and catch the attention of political leaders.

``Last weekend, we marched in the streets,'' former Rep. Tom Andrews, D-Maine, national director of Win Without War, told a news conference Wednesday. ``Next week, we're taking it to the suites of official Washington.''

Organizers of the ``virtual march'' on Washington are calling on supporters to call, fax or e-mail their two U.S. senators and the White House during business hours on Feb. 26.
