Spend lots of money on Jan. 20th!

My wife sent me this today, another fine example of a useless way to try and make a point. Fortunately for us, 53% of the country won't do this and the economic wheels won't stop turning in the near future! Me, I'm going to leave my truck running all day so I can buy some extra gas and help warm the planet a little! Enjoy.

Jan 20, 2005 - Inauguration Day

>Help Make a Difference...

>Please mark your calendars now...

>>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 damndime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulsepurchases. Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours.

>>On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Walmart, Kmart, Target...

>>Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Pleasedon'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 Iraqis 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 internationalcorporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporationsand 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 over 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 petitions to sign. No leftor right wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take action byd doing nothng.

>>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.
