NOT ONE DAMN DIME DAY
JANUARY 20, 2005
Not One Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005 ~ By Bill Moyers
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...
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. 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. Commercial speech must not be the only free
speech in America!
