It has started.

You don’t go to work.

You don’t go to school.

You DO NOT BUY anything.

We start our protest against fascism.

Spread the word…

2. Remember, remember the 6th of November!

K&R! We must do something - and this is a good start! Sometimes you have to throw your body onto the gears of the machine...

:applause:

3. C'mon folks...

This is the do nothing something to stop what is happening to America.

The French completely stops what they are doing to end a bad decision in their country.

What do we do? Not sure... Nothing has changed yet...

Nov 6th - do nothing. No work, no school, no stores.

Bike, hike, talk, pray - whatever.


Inspired by Mike Malloy and his callers....

I think don't buy anything might have more effect on 'murka than don't work!

[Breeze54]

6. I'm already doing all five!!

You don’t go to work.

You don’t go to school.

You DO NOT BUY anything.

We start our protest against fascism.

Spread the word…

Thanks for the heads up but is this an 'official, organized' thing or a suggestion? :shrug:

[SnoopDog]

7. Yes Breeze54... it is official. It is not organized...and it is a suggestion!

300 million Americans have to do SOMETHING.

Or we become complicit - which I refuse to do...

[Breeze54]

11. Another thread says 3200 truckers aren't rolling that day.

Sounds at least somewhat organized.

8. Cool my Birthday!

Hey 'yall if there is a national strike I would be proud to say my birthday is the same day as the day it all began.I'll never forget that day that's for sure.I will spread the word.Because a national strike is the day the empire and oligarchy begins to DIE.And this makes me feel hope for a better future.
Thanks.

9. Don't know if they meant only on Tuedays, or every day after the first one.

Hmm.

I only buy a few groceries and gas and a few things at the dollar store.


A lot of us don't buy many things because we have been tossed out of the middle class.

[defendandprotect]

10. Wait . . .. how did the STRIKE over Labor Day go????

[Dora]

12. If you MUST work - please don't buy anything that day.

No act of resistance is too small.
No act of resistance is too small.
No act of resistance is too small.
No act of resistance is too small.
No act of resistance is too small.

14. Make it a day of fasting.

The strike should be for three days. A day before and after. All three should be days of fasting. Don't eat or drink anything, not even bottled water.

That way you won't be tempted to load up the day before to get you thru a single strike day. The day after will be to reinforce the strike. Use it to get into the streets and protest. A hungry protester is a determined protester.

[bbgrunt]

15. I'm in. Malloy's in.

[bdamomma]

16. we need to do something, we got shut things down.

we cannot expect the Congress to do that, so we should do it.

enough is enough, now they want to veto SCHIP and give this to this wicked man, fuck him!!! let's strike back!!!
