"Not one dime today" seems a brilliant way of registering our
discontent with the meddling of this country in IRAG.Sadly enough,
though, we don't believe in ourselves anymore. we dboubt our abiity to
change the status. We don't even know that we can check the excesses of
the powers-that-be by voting with our wallets as you do rightly
suggest.We have lost faith in ourselves. We don't love ourselves. Do
you know that if MARTIN Luther King were ressurrected today and had to
lead an anti-status protest he will most probably succeed in marching
only with his wife and kids? YES, that is what individualism has done
to our moral fiber!
Let's keep ruminating.

> Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005. Since our religious leaders

> Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not One Dime Day" in
> America. On "Not One Dime Day" is for those who oppose what is

> During "Not One Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one dime

> 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 Dime Day" is to remind the politicians that they work for the
> people of the United States of America, not for the international
> corporations and lobbyists who represent the corporations and
> funnel cash into American politics. On "Not One Dime Day" you
> take action by doing nothing. You open your mouth by keeping your

> 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.
