Not One D a m n Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005

[Mara Fox]

Please join this major boycott that will send a message around the world that Americans do actually care about things our president apparently does not comprehend.

Not One D a m n Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005
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 D a m n Dime Day" in America. On "Not One D a m n 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 D a m n Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one d a m n dime for gasoline. Not one d a m n dime for necessities or for impulse purchases.

Not one d a m n dime for nothing for 24 hours.

On "Not One D a m n 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 D a m n 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 D a m n 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 D a m n 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 d a m n 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 message with as many people as possible.

I'm in!

Not like it's that hard to participate, is it?

There's supposed to be a huge protest at the Federal/FBI Building in Los Angeles. I can't go but made an effort by spreading the word to our press/news connections in the hopes it will be covered on TV.

Anybody else doing anything?

I wonder if there was an impact? I didn't spend a cent yesterday.

I watched part of the anti-bush rally on Cspan and learned this:

The republican said all those bleacher seats were open to the public but you had to buy tickets. When you'd call ticketmaster and ask for the tickets they'd ask for you I.D.# and the only place to get the I.D.# is from the republican national committee who were working from a list of donors.
Only qualified bush supporters got anywhere near the evil-doer on this "historic" day!

I guess it's not that hard to believe really though, considering all their other divisive un-American "strategery."

Good luck to OUR country!
