If Blue States & Blue Counties, who keep the economic engine of the country running through their spending, refuse to shop on coronation day, we can create a very effective protest against the Iraq war. We don't even have to lose our armchairs to rally on Jan. 20.
Circulate this email to everyone you can think of:
Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20, 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 anything for 24 hours.
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 1,330 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.
