"Not One Damn Dime Day" - Jan 20, 2005 - Inauguration 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 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 national boycott 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 for 24 hours.
On "Not One Damn 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 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 that over 1,300 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 war in Iraq and give America back to the people.
Please share this e-mail with as many people as possible.
NOt only for its economic impact, but also to put you gun grabbing liberals in even more of a tizzy...
Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005
A good day to buy new furniture, kitchen appliances, building materials, new autos, boats, clothing, food, fuel, vacations, tickets...did I leave anything out?!
LET'S SHOP!!!
yes, We are :)
I swiped it from a Kitty Kaption thread a few weeks ago.
Shopping spree! Support your local country.
Commies suck.
That is just plain beautiful.
One of the most gentlemanly and nefarious insults that I have ever heard.
It's hard to outsource crack ho's.
The left has been actively boycotting chain businesses for years anyway (at least among the hard left) so their economic boycotts (they also had one the day after Thanksgiving) hurts the stand alone businessman more than the brick and mortar chains.
oh, my LORD!
*doffing crown*
that was utterly beautiful.
you aren't wrong.
zowie!
I'll be shopping up a storm that day, and will then go out for a great dinner.
Shop, shop, shop, 'til you drop, drop, drop....
A Paul Lynde moment is in store for this fool.
Meanwhile, let us spend many dimes that day!
I have long been a fan of Robert.
To do any less for him would be an insult and a disservice. ;-)
please excuse my ignorance... what IS a "Paul Lynde moment"?
a close encounter with a gerbil, or...?
