Subject: Musicians United to Win Without War

Written By: Hairspray on 03/02/03 at 09:12 a.m.

MoveOn is proudly hosting Musicians United to Win Without War, a group of artists including David Byrne, Russell Simmons, Dave Matthews, Busta Rhymes, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, and many others who oppose a war on Iraq. Check out their statement and join them here.

We are also launching a massive, coordinated, grassroots PR campaign. You'll see signs in windows, bumper stickers on cars, flyers on your doorstep, billboards along the streets, and ads and letters in the newspaper.

What is MoveOn all about?

MoveOn is working to bring ordinary people back into politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our "representatives" don't represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril. MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political voice. Our nationwide network of more than 600,000 online activists is one of the most effective and responsive outlets for democratic participation available today.

What does MoveOn do?

When there is a disconnect between broad public opinion and legislative action, MoveOn builds electronic advocacy groups. Examples of such issues are campaign finance, environmental and energy issues, impeachment, gun safety, and nuclear disarmament. Once a group is assembled, MoveOn provides information and tools to help each individual have the greatest possible impact. During impeachment, MoveOn's grassroots advocates generated more than 250,000 phone calls and a million emails to Congress. We helped Congress come to understand the depth of public opposition to impeachment.

I wonder where all these people were when we were bombing Bosnia. Oh wait... there was a Democrat in the White House then.

haha, I've been asking that question for the last 5 months!

An even better question is:  Where were these people in 1998 when the former "president"( ::)) was at odds with Saddam?

I guess I would just like to know if there are any celebrities who support the government in its fight to disarm Saddam. All we ever see in the news are the celebrities who oppose it.

I think I would be more impressed with "Celebrities Who Unite to Educate third world countries so they Won't Depend On Anyone Else."  ;)
