Not One Damn Dime Day
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 20, 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 on 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, K-Mart 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
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 who
funnel cash into American politics.
"Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The politicians put
the troops in harms 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 way in
Iraq and give American back to the people.
