"NOT ONE DAMN DIME DAY
Since our leaders don't have the moral courage to speak out against the war in Iraq, 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, and don't use your credit card. Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse purchases. Nor toll/cab/bus or train ride money exchanges. 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."
This is an anonymous letter that has been circulating the net and been posted on many left wing websites (the idea has been attributed to Bill Moyers). I just thought I'd pass the info along to my fellow Freepers. The left hopes to strike a blow to the U.S. economy with a 24 hour boycott beginning midnight tonight, and I think it would be great if we do everything we can to counter this.
So Freepers, if you've been saving up for a new TV, or any big purchase, or if you just need an oil change or a fresh tank of gas, try to buy it tomorrow. Get out there and support American businesses on inauguration day, and help cancel out this pathetic leftist attempt to hurt our economy.
Darn! I should have closed on my new house tomorrow!!
Not to worry, they may SAY they won't buy but their greedy little fingers will be out there pulling money out of their pockets...that's a fact.
Liberal coffeshops and minorities hardest hit.
What a great reason to purchase something!
I tell you them thar Demo-whacks are at it agin with their hair-brained eye-dee-ers!
Glad I waited until tomorrow to do grocery shopping.....after the inauguration, of course.
Let's see. A new subscription to the Limbaugh Letter. Complete collection of Ann Coulter's books. Full tank of gas. 10 reams of premium paper. Fresh pine boards to make into boxes. Marinated sirloin steaks. Not enough time for all the shopping that needs to be done.
Lefty free day??? Whoopie!!!!!!! Going to be a fun day at work tomorrow!!!!
I used to waitress. We had 'welfare weekends' (First of the month). It was hell because they rang up a huge bill and never tipped.
Ok, but I'm not going to Target either:')
What do you want to best the business notice no difference in sales. Of course of Dems will be all over the internet saying they brought the US economy to a halt. Sadly there will be many who believe them.
Walmart: Ammo, DVD, slippers, storage container, light bulbs, scientific calculator, headphones
Grocery Store: Eggs, bread, milk, cereal, apples, chicken, cream cheese, bacon, orange juice
Gas up car and run it through the carwash.
What are they going to do, stay in their section 8 projects and not spend their food stamps?
Tomorrow will be as good a day as any to use some of those Christmas gift cards.
You know the DU drug addicts will still contribute to their drug dealers. These morons couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag with a bayonet in their hands.
No problem! Time to take the staff out to lunch!
Note to self: "Buy new expensive driver golf club tomorrow...."
Spate of dual-posts as of late here, huh?
