Inauguration Day, Silent Protest

Since our religious leaders will not speak outagainst 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 nationalboycott
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 anything for24
hours.
On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Walmart, KMart 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 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 havedied. 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 oftheir moral
responsibility to end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people
PLEASE PASS ON
