Not one damn dime.
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 nothing 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.
Please share this email with as many people as
possible.
