In case you didn't notice: Virtual protest

According to news reports "many" people were supposed to call, e-mail, etc their elected representatives in the US capital today. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6032-2003Feb26.html As far as I can tell from the public measurement sites, there doesn't appear to be any significant change in network traffic.
