Ed note: Will someone explain whether this will really help?
Posted by Jon Stewart but initiated by John Clemens:
“The 24 hour Economic Blackout”
As our initial act, we turn it off. For one day we show them who really holds the power.
WHEN: Friday February 28th from12:00 A.M. to 11:59 P.M.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
Do not make any purchases; Do not shop online, or in-store; No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy; Nowhere!
Do not spend money on Food & Gas
Do not use Credit or Debit Cards
Do not hire anyone to do work around your house, etc.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Only buy essentials if absolutely necessary (Food, Medicine, Emergency Supplies)
If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE
Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day!
WHY THIS MATTERS?
DT and his minions only care about their pocketbooksCorporations, banks only care about their bottom lineFinancial markets rely on consumers to spend
If we disrupt the economy for just ONE DAY, it sends a powerful message.If they don’t listen (they won’t) we make the next blackout longer (We will)
This is our first action.
February 28thThe 24 Hour Economic Black Out Begins.
PLEASE PASS IT ON
