The Virtual March on Washington demonstrated that we can have an immediate impact by using our own home computers. Together with Indymedia, such action can achieve some specific results.
THIS PROPOSAL ENVISIONS TENS OF THOUSANDS of us checking email and Indymedia sites several times a day over the next several weeks, assessing the best ways to have an impact, and then sending emails, faxes, or making phone calls based on daily information.
The immediate goal is to flood the corporate media with specific requests, demands, criticisms about war coverage, or to ask that friends of peace remain steadfast. If we do this individually it will accomplish little. If we exercise our free speech rights in concert we may have a positive impact at very low cost.
THE PLAN works like this:
Check the newswire of your local or favorite indymedia site for messages with the starting title EMAIL ACTION! Read these specifically, for they will recommend issues on which to act, and perhaps suggest corporate media targets deserving of our attention.
Do this several times a day.
PUBLICIZE THIS EFFORT by distributing this message to organizational lists, friends, family, work associates.
INDYMEDIA WEBSITES are all over the country. Some key ones are:
http://dc.indymedia.org/
http://la.indymedia.org/
http://sf.indymedia.org/
From these sites you may navigate to a site near you.
IF YOU SEE A STORY worthy of email action, post it on the newswire using the EMAIL ACTION! prefix to the title.
Consider these four points:
o Best results may be achieved by posting to ALL Indymedia newswires.
o We cannot publicize and act on everything. Only the best stories that are really worthy of coverage are likely to have a positive result. Please use common sense.
o Our immediate concern is stopping the senseless war on Iraq. For now, other issues will only detract.
o Anyone can post to Indymedia newswires. Exercise judgment about what you read there.

Some Evidence on Iraq Called Fake
U.N. Nuclear Inspector Says Documents on Purchases Were Forged
By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, March 8, 2003; Page A01
A key piece of evidence linking Iraq to a nuclear weapons program appears to have been fabricated, the United Nations' chief nuclear inspector said yesterday in a report that called into question U.S. and British claims about Iraq's secret nuclear ambitions.
Documents that purportedly showed Iraqi officials shopping for uranium in Africa two years ago were deemed "not authentic" after careful scrutiny by U.N. and independent experts, Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told the U.N. Security Council.
ElBaradei also rejected a key Bush administration claim -- made twice by the president in major speeches and repeated by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell yesterday -- that Iraq had tried to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes to use in centrifuges for uranium enrichment. Also, ElBaradei reported finding no evidence of banned weapons or nuclear material in an extensive sweep of Iraq using advanced radiation detectors.
"There is no indication of resumed nuclear activities," ElBaradei said.
Knowledgeable sources familiar with the forgery investigation described the faked evidence as a series of letters between Iraqi agents and officials in the central African nation of Niger. The documents had been given to the U.N. inspectors by Britain and reviewed extensively by U.S. intelligence. The forgers had made relatively crude errors that eventually gave them away -- including names and titles that did not match up with the individuals who held office at the time the letters were purportedly written, the officials said.
