Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005

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 anything 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 objective 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.
