Single What? Female...

if you can't make it to DC Jan 20th...

How about this silent protest my friend Cherry alerted me to:

Inauguration Day, Silent Protest
>>
>>
>>
>> Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in
>> Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to
>> oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not
>> One Damn Dime Day" in America.
>>
>>
>>
>> On "Not One Damn Dime Day," 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.
>>
>> During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one
>> damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for
>> impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for anything for 24 hours.
>>
>> On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Walmart, KMart and
>> Target. Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store.
>> Please don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that
>> matter).
>>
>> For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy
>> down. The object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war
>> in Iraq is immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for
>> starting it and that it is their responsibility to stop it.
>>
>> "Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for
>> the people of the United States of America, not for the
international
>> corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations
>> and funnel cash into American politics.
>>
>>
>> "Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The
>> politicians put the troops in harm's way. Now 1,200 brave young
>> Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis have died. The
>> politicians owe our troops a plan -- a way to come home.
>>
>> There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right
>> wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take
action
>> by doing nothing. You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.
>> For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our
>> religious leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility
>> to end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people
>>
>>
>> PLEASE PASS ON
