"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.
I'll see if I can get the CEO of WalMart to beg you to reconsider. Wait right here. Hold your breath.
Oh goodie. Let's see. I can fill the tanks on both cars on the 20th; do some grocery shopping, take the family out for dinner; hmmm. Any other ways I can go against this STUPID idea?
I love that song!
Buffoon. Killing our economy doesn't prove anything, who's side are you on?
Bonehead idea from a DUmbass....
does that mean fed asst checks dont get cashed
1-20 america wins again
Its in our interest to make sure they dont threaten America. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American lives is not what I consider the best method of accomplishing the key goal.
LOL
now thats 2!! LOL
Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks was calling on Bush to cancel the inauguration because that money should be sent to tsunami relief---he thought it was taxpayers money going to inauguration.
When told it was private funds, he said Bush would make a good example for Americans by foregoing the inauguration, parties, etc.,
I guess he didn't consider how many small businesses, hotels, airlines, taxis, caterers, would lose out bigtime if it is cancelled. Being an entrepeneur himself, I would have thought he might have thought of American entrepenuers before some of the charities. He suggested Bush donate to Red Cross, well that is another arguement!!
thanks....
not all the way back yet, but I am out of Iraq now :)
Im still in Qatar
That reminds me of a dirty joke about 2 female and a male in a nursing home
What's she got that I haven't
Punch line is Parkinsons.
You have to make up the joke yourself
I think I'll go the casino that day and play the dime slots.
Hey, hey, hey Robbie!
His pain shall be legendary.
you kidding...
its a chance for the constitutionalists to criticize the President. It isnt going to help them any, but it lets them vent some steam on something other than some poor migrant Mexican for a change....
why don't you do us all a favor?
Go indulge in an anatomically improbable and ultimately fatal autoerotic activity, while we adults take care of business.
