Not One Damn Dime Day

I received the following email from a friend recently. She had received it as a forward. I felt it was important enough to share.


Subject: Not One Damn Dime Day

This seems like a good idea to me...might be the closest we could come to a general strike in this country and could be pretty powerful symbolically if it were wide spread...pass it on...and do it! Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan. 20, 2005. The anti-inauguration! 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 and Pepsico (Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, & Pepsi products). 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 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. 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 share this email with as many people as possible.

“Well, in all my years I ain't never heard, seen nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about."

I wrote the following letter to my state's senators' about the upcoming counting of electoral votes. I urge you to write to your senator and ask for two (2) hours of discussion. Don't we deserve at least this much from a government of the people?

“Well, in all my years I ain't never heard, seen nor smelled an issue that was so dangerous it couldn't be talked about. Hell yeah! I'm for debating anything. Rhode Island says yea!”

Dear Senator

After careful consideration of the available evidence, I strongly urge you to join with a member of the House of Representatives and object to counting the Ohio electors’ votes, requiring the Senate and House to separately meet and consider the objection.

It is ultimately reasonable to have our elected representatives spend a short period of time to discuss the election in the state of Ohio. This meeting can be, by law, no longer than two (2) hours. No member may speak more than once nor for more than five (5) minutes. After each legislative body determines a final disposition for the objection, the votes of the remaining electors can be acted upon.

Given the dangers present in the world today, the next president will be making life and death decisions for our troops and all Americans. Two (2) hours out of the thirty-five thousand, sixty-four (35,064) hours of a presidency (less than 0.006%) is an extremely minor inconvenience to properly validate the election results. Without this discussion, there are questions as to the legitimacy of President Bush’s presumed reelection. Our democracy requires no less by our elected representative in Congress.



Respectfully Submitted,
