> 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,
> the Post Office.... 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).
>
> Please alert your teenagers, your children, your workplace associates.
> This is passive resistance at its keenest and most effective, and everyone
> in the U.S. can participate. Do you have the courage to make an impact on
> this nation?
>
> For 24 hours, please do what you can to tell our consumer-driven
> economy that Americans have a message. 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. Now 1,200
> brave young Americans and over 100,000 Iraqi men, women, and children have
> died.
>
> The politicians owe our troops a plan - an honorable 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 email with as many people as possible.
>
> Commercial speech must not be the only free speech in America!
