What you can do RIGHT NOW, to try to slow down the machine

(Mods I posted this inside another thread but...)

Here are the things I want you to do....

First off, get your hands on a GOOD history of the American Revolution (Howard Zinn prefeerably, you want one from the POV of the people)

Then THINK how did they ahem make a point? Well they signed petitions and all that but the brits truly started paying attention when we colonials started playing wiht the economy

Think about it how well do you think the Empire took the idea of an American MAKING a shovel? (Mercantilistic system, he is suposed to send goods, and import finished goods)

Ok now that you are thinkng how can you do this today?

Easy.

GET OUT OF DEBT, be thrifty, live within your means, and DO NOT get back into debt. YOU CANNOT PAY FOR IT, you don't need it. (I know I know the mortgage and all that but there is a rason for this)

Cancel ALL your credit cards but one, and the one you KEEP local trade union avoid MBNA, and if you have a citi card, CANCEL IT ASAP (Yes once mine is paid out guess what is next, canceling it)

Celebrate the spirit of the season but do not do what we do every year and get in debt until April... at the least, DO NOT buy anything or if you must, from LOCAL merchants, and DO LOOK for the Made in Amerca label...it does exist.

Thanksgiving... do with chicken, make sure them turkeys have to go on sale

Find LOCAL businesses that share your views and SUPPORT THEM, you cannot, Etalilers.

DO NOT go to Walmart or Starbucks for that matter

Get involved in peaceful CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

Remember, governments depend on teh consent of the governed.

Oh and the revolution HAS started, just that the signs are not out there to see, because the MSM WILL NOT cover it for a good reason, FOLLOW THE MONEY

Oh and insofar as the MSM is concerned, please DO continue to write those Letters, and DO NOT watch. DO NOT buy but show them through letters that YOU ARE AWARE.... and send them Letters regarding the BBV issue.
