"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.
I'm getting a manicure and a pedicure tomorrow.
And I'm tipping $20 extra for each.
And I'm saying REAL LOUD, it's because I'm so proud of President Bush's inauguration.
Could you make friends with my wife? ;^)
You know, I've been wanting a new gun. Tomorrow would be a good day to get one!
Hey, I think I could get behind this "Not One Damn Mime Day."
Huh? What's that....? Oh, nevermind.

DEMOC
What idiots
This will be about as successful as the confederate flag boycott.
Delusion.
Drop, meet bucket.
We'll also buy a new TV tomorrow. Been putting it off, but it looks like the time is right. I also plan to do serious buying at a hobby shop, and maybe restock the reloading supplies.
Yet another holiday this week for the metrosexuals!
While filling up the tank, I gotta scream, too? OK...
I really don't need anything, but I'm waiting until tomorrow to fill my car with gas.
Plenty of parking at the mall, close to the door!

New recliner and 30 gals gas for starters
