"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 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.
Nor toll/cab/bus or train ride money exchanges.
Not one darn dime for anything for 24 hours.
On "Not One Darn 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 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"
