Seattle P-I Passes Along Congressional Phone Numbers for War Protest

September 12th, 2007 2:43 PM

In an entry entitled, "Protest du Jour," Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Candace Heckman let the paper's "The Big Blog" readers know that, "[c]oast to coast, Sept. 12 has been declared National Call-In Day to End the Iraq War by a conglomeration of advocacy groups."

Oh how nice.

Today's protest is expected to take place all day over the telephone. The idea is to call your congressman or congresswoman (or any congressman or congresswoman) to express displeasure in the United States' continuing involvement in Iraq.

Heckman proceeded to give out the phone numbers for the state of Washington's delegation to the 110th Congress. The P-I blogger noted that "as with all demonstrations, war and troop supporters are also expected to counter-protest, also by telephone."

While that is true, something tells me not to expect Heckman or another blogger at the P-I to give out phone numbers for congressmen when, say, pro-life protests on the January anniversary of Roe v. Wade roll around.
