The only thing I can do that they can't ignore
I can/have written to the media
I can/have written to my elected representatives
I can/have protested
I can/have boycotted
I can't do a tax protest.

But I can stop spending. I won't add a single extra penny to the economy until the government stops its insane course. We know that the little man in the White House told people to go shop to help the country so we know he's worried about it.

Maybe they won't notice our single household. But I'm not supporting this farce any longer.

1. Will you stop spending on your internet connection?
Unfortunately, every penny spent on an internet connection typically supports the "evil empire".

My money supports Verizon. What does yours support?

4. Yeah, I understand - I work at home
My entire business is internet-based (web development). When the fiber goes dark, I am out of work.

3. The choices I make every day...
that add to the mayhem are many. Paper or plastic ad infinitum.
