here's the deal: on january 20th (president bush's inauguration), there is going to be a nationwide silent protest against the war in iraq. to participate all you have to do is not spend any money at all on that day- that's it.
for more information, go here. one of my friends told me about this and i thought it was very cool. if you support this please tell everyone you know and try to get them to participate. put a link in your profile. start a chain email. make a topic on another forum. tell your friends. i obviously am going to be participating (and wearing my homemade "impeach bush" t-shirt  ). i hope some of you will participate too.if you don't think this is a good idea or don't agree with it, please don't post it here. i really don't want this to be a debate, i just wanted to inform you guys of it. thanks. |

this isn't a protest about president bush being elected again... it's against the war in iraq. so all of you who are saying "get over the fact that he was re-elected and deal with it", that's NOT the point of this. it's to show that you don't approve of the war- NOT that you don't approve of bush. i can see why some people think it's a stupid idea (i don't really think it will effect anything unless tons of people get involved) but the reason i posted this is to spread it around so it MIGHT work. and of course they really don't except people not to spend ANY money, they're trying to get people to spend as money little as possible.
but seriously, some of you should be failing basic reading comprehension. you still post petty comments about how you don't think it's going to work and that it's stupid and that bush is good, even after i put this- QUOTE(banddorko @ Jan 7 2005, 9:30 PM) if you don't think this is a good idea or don't agree with it, please don't post it here. i really don't want this to be a debate, i just wanted to inform you guys of it. thanks.  and you know what? i don't really care what you guys think- i'm trying to get the word out, not listen to people says it's stupid. thanks. |
