CANCEL your Thanksgiving and Christmas buying this year
only buy what is really necessary. We need to help speed up the sick situation in this country to get a speedy downfall and get a fresh start. REMEMBER who told you " the power is in your hands" we have the power, let's use it. No apologist need respond to this thread only activist wanted.

1. yes. can we tell Air America? only problem is this
those dudes are beholden to their advertisers now so they are often kept from saying things like boycott because it is essentially saying they want to help dry up their own source of existence.

sooo...failing that....write letters to the editor to spread the word?

post on blogs?

I don't know. I feel this whole thing is so big and hard to get ahold of.

2. No problem with the price of gas and heating oil still high
and likely to stay that way, we have no disposable income left over. Besides who can celebrate with another rigged election, new conservative Supreme court appointment on the horizon, and with the polar ice cap melting, all the reindeer and the elves are taking ill and Santa can't get a flu shot for them or Mrs Santa, anytime soon. So why bother.

6. Already did it and trying to decide which essentials are really essential
Like heat or food, gas to get to work or prescription meds necessary to be able to work. It's heat or eat, one of the two, a gallon of milk or a gallon of gas. I have wood for the fireplace and we can always throw some weenies on.
