Dear Friends,
This information has probably already reached your e-mailbox; but on the
off
chance that it has not, or that you haven't gotten around to spreading
the
word, here it is again. I think it is a brilliant idea. And I
especially
appreciate the signature at the end: Bill Moyers.
Let's do it!
Frugally yours,
Tajmina
Not one Damn Dime Day
Jan 20, 2005
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 nothing 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
cor****ations and
K Street lobbyists who represent the cor****ations and funnel cash into
American politics.
"Not One Damn Dime Day" is about sup****ting the troops. 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 share this email with as many people as possible. Commercial
speech
must not be the only free speech in America!
Bill Moyers
