Don't consume/spend anything tomorrow
Let's show * what we're made of. I plan on not spending a cent tomorrow. Also am thinking about fasting.

3. I planed on
keeping the wallet closed. Didn't think about fasting. What a great idea. Lots of water for me.

4. Ed Schultz had a point:: this only allows them to label us
as anti-business nutjobs.

How about a compromise: buy Blue (Costco) tomorrow, or not at all?

5. Better not do anything that the Rethugs can attack us for.

I don't trust this Schultz guy, who Clear Channel puts on Air America here and takes away Mike Malloy's air time...

6. Fine. You can participate in the circular firing squad;

me, I probably won't buy anything, but I'll mourn the possibilities of masses of people buying Blue or not at all.

7. I'm with you on this, R.
"Not one damn dime" day tomorrow. I'll inform the rest of my family. Actually, we've seen some results of our "Buy Blue" "Boycott Red" action here at the DU.

It's actually worked! Wal-Mart showed losses, while Costco showed a 10% profit. Who says boycotts don't work.
