"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" through 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 necessitiesor for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for religious donations.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 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis have died. The politicians owe our troops an important 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 message with as many people as possible.
