Bush Protesters Are Taking to Information Superhighway:
Organizers of the “virtual march on Washington” said that Senate offices and the White House were deluged with more than 1 million calls and faxes.
“We are getting slammed by the virtual marchers,” said an aide to Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.), who supports President Bush in the use of force, if necessary, to disarm the government of Saddam Hussein, with or without U.N. approval.
Many callers to the Capitol were greeted by a recorded message saying “all circuits are busy.”
This kind of rude behavior generally causes a backlash from the over-worked staffers who have to spend the entire day talking to protesters, which in this case is darn good.
From what I read, in an effort to curry favor and beg apology from the harried staffers, the protestors sent pizzas. As you might expect in Washington these days, the pizzas were held up for security reasons…

FROM:JAMES MACHEKE
Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not
know me personally. The purpose of my introduction is
that I am James
Macheke, the first son of Zuma Macheke one of the most
popular black
farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the
land dispute in my
country. I got your contact through network online
hence decided to write
you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to
deposit the sum of USD$9.5 million (Nine million, Five
Hundred thousand
United States dollars), in one of the private security
and finance company,
as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this
funds was deposited
in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from
the security and
finance company. This amount was meant for the
purchase of new machines
and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new
farms in swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe
introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the
rich white farmers
and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the
killing and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in
the society. In fact
a lot of people were killed because of this Land
reform Act for which
my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family
fled Zimbabwe for
fear of our lives and are currently staying in the
Netherlands where we
are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided
to transfer my
fathers money to a more reliable foreign account.
since the law of
Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to
open any bank
account or to be involved in any financial transaction
throughout the
territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of
my father, I am
saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine
foreign account
where these funds could be transferred without the
knowledge of my
government who are bent on taking everything we have
got. The South African
government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of
money out of South
Africa for fear of going through the same experience
in future, both
countries have similar political history. As a
businessman,I am seeking
for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that
of my family in
his hands, I must let you know that this transaction
is risk free. If
you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you
to do for me, is to
make an arrangements with the security and finance
company to clear the
consignment(funds) from their affiliate office here in
the Netherlands
as i have already given directives for the consignment
to be brought to
the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all
modalities will
have to be put in place like change of ownership to
the consignment and
more importantly this money I intend to use for
investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to
have certain
percentage of the funds for nominating your account
for this transaction.
Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper
profitable
investment of the funds in your country. Whichever the
option you want, feel
free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this
money for all kinds
of expenses incurred in the process of this
transaction.If you do not
prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of
the money while the
remaining 85% will be for my investment in your
country. Contact me
with the above E-mail address,while I implore you to
maintain the absolute
secrecy required in this transaction.
Thanks, GOD BLESS
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.James Macheke.
