Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 09:35 PM by FirstLight
I have an idea how to get some of that fat cash and make our point and bring the fed to it's knees with the power of the PEOPLE!!!

So, you know how if you rip a bill, you can send in the half and get a whole new bill sent to you?

so I think we shoould call it the 'Double or Nothing' campaign!

Let's all pull out our wallets and start rippin'
...send them tons of half dollars and fives, etc...and then they will be sending the new bills to US. If enough of us iunundated them they would probably not even know if we send in two halves of the same bill (we'd have to trade the halves between us so we'd be untraceable...)

we could theoretically double our money!

then we HOLD ONTO IT, just like the banks....collectively this could be millions of dollars, right?
so we leverage OUR newfound spending power to get the progressive agendas moved ahead...

just a wild thought...but crazy is *IN* this year and maybe if we all did it, it could work...

1. silly, that money isn't for you and me. It's for the bankers and other well-connected
scum bags.

5. The money is virtual money...
nothing is printed.

They just loan the virtual cash to banks who they hope loan virtual cash to companies so they will hire, I assume, virtual employees.
