not one damn dime day, silent protest Options

[banddorko]

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.

no other protest is going to change the fact that we're at war either, it's just letting other people and the government know that we don't like the decision they made. but guess what? YOU complaining about THIS protest won't change the fact that it's going to happen too. and i don't think that everyone in america will all of a sudden know about this because of this thread or that website, but i think combined they will both reach at least a couple hundred people.

I'm not necessarily complaining about the protest, thank you. I just don't support it. I think it's dumb. You are the one complaining pointlessly.

What you don't seem to understand is what you are doing is pointless. It won't do anything for us. That's why I don't support this little useless silent protest. It is not a complaint.
