Not One Damn Dime Day

Evidently, a few Americans are unhappy that the President won reelection. Some of them have decided to put their dislike of this administration into action. USA Today's Craig Wilson reports on this interesting development:

There's a movement afoot, and the interesting thing is this: No one knows where it began.

It's called "Not One Damn Dime Day," and it means just that. Proponents urge Americans not to spend any money on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day, to protest President Bush's policies in Iraq and the estimated $30 million to $40 million cost of the inauguration.

You might already have received the plea in your morning e-mails. If so, it probably was sent to you by friends or family, because the e-mail encourages everyone to share the contents with as many people as possible. And people have.

The message is simple: "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."
Very interesting...
