Not One Damn Dime Day

Submitted By Tim Blain

Subject: Fwd: Not One Damn 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 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. No one damn

dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse

purchases. Not one damn dime for anything for 24 hours.

 

On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Walmart, KMart and 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.

 

 

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can

change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has!" Margaret Mead
