"Not One Damn Dime Day" - Jan 20, 2005 - Inauguration Day

Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in
Iraq,
since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to
oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not One
Damn
Dime Day" in America.

On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose what is happening in our
name
in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all
forms of consumer spending.

During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one damn
dime
for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse
purchases. Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours.

On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target...

Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please
don't
buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter).

For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy down.

The object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war in Iraq
is
immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for starting it and
that it is their responsibility to stop it.

"Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for the
people of the United States of America, not for the international
corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations and
funnel cash into American politics.

"Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The politicians
put
the troops in harm's way.

Now 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis
have
died. The politicians owe our troops a plan - a way to come
home.

There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right wing
agenda
to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take action by
doing nothing.

You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.

For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our
religious leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility
to end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people.

Please share this e-mail with as many people as possible....

There were many e-mails this was sent to. I share them not.

Peace and love to everyone here. I think this is something we should get behind.

"IT'S SO EASY, IT'S SO EASY..."

oN EDIT:

It is easy to do it for a day, can we make it a week? Or a month? Think of Fallujah.

1. It will be really easy everyone. Stay home, call in sick, not one damn
dime day. Don't leave your house. We can shut this country down. It is a better protest than going to DC. Stay home and spend nothing for just one day. No work, for anyone, any where. Shut it down. IT'S THE BEST PROTEST WE HAVE.

2. To be effective we also must
not use electricity or natural gas that day.

3. It is doable. We just have to unite and make it happen.
n/t. Lots are going to DC by bus and plane. Cancel all trips. Don't give a dime. No passengers, no money.
