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 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. 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.
