[Mb-civic] Not One Damn Dime Day

[ean at sbcglobal.net]

Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan. 20, 2005. The anti-inauguration!

If you are disappointed with GW Bush's re-election: and 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 and Pepsico (Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, & Pepsi 
products).


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 email with as many people as possible!
