“I love my country, but fear my government.” - Richard Evey

PROTEST THE ILLEGAL INAUGURATION OF bush

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY


-- If you are an employee, take Thursday, January 20 off. Take a vacation day, a personal day, call in sick. I don't care. Just don't work. (Emergency workers excluded).

-- If you own a business, (and I realize this is a very big request), close down your business on January 20. Put a message on your voicemail letting anyone who calls know why you are closed. Put a sign in your window. Just do it!

-- If you have a website, take it down, and put up a page that says your business is closed because you are mourning the death of your country, the end of democracy and the US as we have known it, the stolen election and the illegal inauguration of bush!

-- If you have friends outside the US, tell them not to buy an american product, an american stock, conduct business with an american firm, nothing!

--Wear black clothing, or a black armband. Fly a black flag.

--Get out that flag you bought after 9/11 and fly or hang it upside down. The United States Flag Code says that it is flown upside down as a distress signal. UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 36 - PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES AND OBSERVANCES CHAPTER 10 - PATRIOTIC CUSTOMS - § 176 - Respect for flag - No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

-- AND NO ONE HERE BUYS A THING! Not a bottle of water, a pay-per-view movie, a candy bar, a gallon of gas, a pack of cigarettes, nothing. Get organized and do it the day before.

While you are sitting home, pick up the phone and call the media and tell them what you are doing. (This is the ONLY thing you are allowed to spend money on.) Call your senators and representatives if you think it will do any good.

On Inauguration Day Protest!

Our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq. Our political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it. And our "free" press has been so bought out by mega corporations they could not even find the wherewithal to investigate a stolen presidential election.

And now, on January 20th we are being asked to accept the man who brought us this new world order as our leader?

Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is the day we SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY for 24 Hours.

That's right. The War Machine, The Military Industrial Complex,Political Lobbyists, Corporate control of the media. It's all about money. This time, we hit them where it hurts.

For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY

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.

Boycott Walmart, KMart and Target. Don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. 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.

Not one dime on pay per view, stamps, don't put mail in your mailbox, nothing.

The object is simple. Don't spend, Don't work, Don't participate in the economy.


Send A Unified Message To Washington

The People of the United States CAN and WILL come together in a time of crisis. We will take steps as necessary to secure our country.
Let Mr. Bush consider THAT as he takes his OATH of OFFICE.

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, no one works except emergency workers.


For 24 Hours SHUT DOWN THE U.S. ECONOMY
