Jan 20....Not One Red Cent Day
Received this email this morning...sounds like a good idea...if you like the idea, please keep kicked


2. Not One Red Cent Day
**********************************

Boycott Bush's inauguration by not spending any money on inauguration
day!

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 Red Cent
Day' in America.

On 'Not One Red Cent 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 Red Cent Day' please don't spend money, and don't use
your credit card. Not one red cent for gasoline. Not one red cent for
necessities or for impulse purchases. Nor toll/cab/bus or train ride
money exchanges. Not one red cent for anything for 24 hours.

On 'Not One Red Cent 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.

'Not One Red Cent 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 Red Cent 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 Red Cent Day' you take action by doing
nothing. You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.

For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one red cent, 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 as an email with as many people as possible, and
please express your opinion at www.NotOneRedCent.com .
