  • Inauguration Day, Silent Protest

    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.

    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.

    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. --
