Is this political? Yes. Sorry. But I feel it's damn important.
Here are the basics:
On January 20, Inauguration Day, people against bush and the War in Iraq are staging a massive boycott. "Not a Dime" consists of as many people as possible, for one day, spending NOT A DIME. Absolutely NO consumer spending that day.
Not One Damn Dime!
Particularly considering that the bloody Inauguration is going to cost something like 40 million dollars... Gah.
*kicks The Shrub*
Hope you can do this!

And to add insult to injury, the city of DC is being asked to fork over a big chunk of its meager Homeland Security funding to help pay for it (including for things that aren't security related, like bleachers for people to watch the parade).
DC voted 9-1 for Kerry in the presidential election. And I have a feeling we're going to be made to pay (literally and metaphorically) for that for the next four years. No statehood for us anytime soon, and blessedly little chance of Congress giving us the financial support we need. Which, given how dependent we are on federal money for damn near everything, could really damage a city that's already got more than its share of poverty and crime.

And....a kicky little skirt?
*happy place*

I can do the skirt, if it makes you happy.
I'm not sure about the acrobatics though... I'll try not to break anything!

The skirt!
I don't need any acrobatics. Just, you know, a little 'rah rah'

Shouldn't be a problem. I heard an interview on NPR yesterday about the inauguration and the problem with space allocation along the route and some moron was complaining about a coalition of activists against Bush's second term as well as Code Pink and saying they were equivalent to "Saddam Hussein and the terrorists." I was gobsmacked that they simply aired this astounding statement with no questioning or qualification whatsoever.

You'd think NPR would know better!
I loathe and despise my government, i really do. And most of the people that are 'my fellow americans'.
Since when did protest - and peaceful protest at that? - become 'terrorism'?
Arrrrrrgh.
