When's the national strike start?

[ticapnews]

That's the only thing we have left.

Our president betrayed his oath of office.
Our representatives have sold us down the river.
Corporations care only about their bottom line. Human beings are just another "resource" to be used up and discarded.

We can't change this at the ballot box. And we're not going to get anywhere marching with pitchforks.

Only if their serfs don't show up to perform manual labor will the corporations take notice.

So when do we go on strike?

[lonestarnot]

1. MONDAY!

[MercutioATC]

3. Monday works for me.

...of course, I don't work Mondays.

[lonestarnot]

4. TUESDAY

for you then! :evilgrin:

[roguevalley]

26. I'm good for the whole week. I'm retired. I'll bring donuts with sprinkles too. :)

[mdmc]

2. not sure

I can take a couple of days off I guess

[lonestarnot]

5. So pick your day.

[OwnedByFerrets]

6. Good luck finding 100 people willing to

do what you are suggesting. Yes, I have become the ultimate pessimist. Hell, there arent 10% of amerikans who even know anything is fucking wrong. Most of them are sitting in front of their tv's watching football.
And the ones who do know are too apathetic to care.

The absolute future of amerika is in the hands of the rich and powerful.

9. Go rub your ferret pessimist!

[OwnedByFerrets]

21. Prove me wrong.

8. Few are going to put their livelihoods on the line. A better idea would be:

A national no-consumption day, where no one consumes or buys anything but food (not in restaurants), electricity, and rent.

Edit: And it should be on a weekend, so that it's clear and immediately apparent.

[lonestarnot]

10. Well if is as bad as they are pretending, your life is already on the damn line. So what are you

going to do after you do your one day of non-consumption? LOL :hi:

[LBJDemocrat]

12. Do it again in a few weeks, hopefully attracting more people to the idea.

I can't lose my job. I just can't. My life is on the line, but I'd rather save as much as possible up until I get laid off.

[Mariana]

15. Given what the future likely holds

We should all be doing that EVERY day, as much as possible.

Don't buy ANYTHING that isn't a necessity.

[nichomachus]

18. Yeah, that sounds like five out of seven days for me.

Most people are down to buying necessities as it is. All they will do is shift their purchase by a day or two. No big deal.

11. Feb 2009. TVs go off. On the other hand, if we don't do it before Oct. 1st we face the new infantry

Bush's 'interventionists' straight from helping Iraq to helping us.

[lonestarnot]

13. MONDAY!

[hootinholler]

14. When Obama calls for it. n/t

[flamingdem]

22. This is the correct answer. We have to follow his lead

[tavalon]

30. Why?

He's in campaign mode right now. This wouldn't be helpful to his campaign but it really needs to happen.

[petgoat]

23. That'll be the day nt

[hootinholler]

24. Don't be so sure of that.

I'm certain he knows he has that option in his arsenal. Hopefully he realizes this is no time to keep one's powder dry.

[petgoat]

32. Kerry broke every promise. nt

[Jamastiene]

16. I like your way of thinking.

If you can get people to do it, it will be the only thing that will make them stop and think. I'm not working right now, or I'd join ya. I'll tell you what I can do. If you can organize it and give me a date, I won't buy anything that day. That'll help some too.

[Jamastiene]

17. Btw, Off to the Greatest Page with you.

5th Rec. and another :kick:

[nichomachus]

19. You can't have a general strike without unions -- period.

Which is why it was so important for them to destroy the unions.

[ColbertWatcher]

20. October 1, before Biden-Palin debate. n/t

[blue sky at night]

25. the only way to hurt them....

is to pull our cars out onto the highways and park them. Shut the roads down at every major junction of the freeway system and see what happens.

[fascistgroovething]

27. I'm ready

[awnobles]

28. Hell Yes,

stop paying their bills with your labor.

[Motown_Johnny]

29. This sounds like a south park episode

[Jeffersons Ghost]

31. never...

the average American is too lazy and complacent to do anything until it directly affects their family. By then, it will be too late. Losing TV remotes or cell-phones is their biggest current concern. Soon, they'll become concerned about making mortgage payments, after skyrocketing fuel prices put them out of work. Then, they can worry about which viaduct bridge is the best shelter for their kids.

[cayuga]

33. November 5...if McCain wins. Shut the muddafukker down.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. Oh. You Said National. Oh Well.

If you woulda said "when does the strike of a handful of people that won't have any impact on anything start?" I would said "Any time now!!!!"

[Moochy]

35. re: post #34

WOW an anti-labor post by OMC? So out of character for a predictable conservative douchenozzle!
