Is there any website *dedicated* to opposing the impending war, to which everyone can *upload* info on upcoming anti-war actions, reports, etc., & which lists the names, e-addresses, etc. of contact persons? (IndyMedia is too diffuse, unfocused on this war.) If not, can anyone volunteer to create such a website? The IAC? Hunterbear? I'd volunteer if no one else does (though I need to first improve my proficiency in HTML).
