Not One Darn Dime Day - January 20, 2005
Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq, and our
political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it, Inauguration Day,
Thursday, January 20, 2005 is "Not One Darn Dime Day" in America.
On "Not One Darn 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 Darn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one darn dime for
gasoline. Not one darn dime for necessities or for impulse purchases. Not one
darn dime for anything for 24 hours.
On "Not One Darn 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 Darn 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 Darn 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 Darn 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 darn 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.
