i just got this in my e-mail, please read and pass it on


This has the beauty of simplicity.

> 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
>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 'Big
>Business' and K Street lobbyists who
>represent the corporations who 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 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 PASS ON
