Start voting now.
As consumers, they say our biggest vote is with our wallets. we can help make shrub look back and stick it a little bit to corporate America by shutting down our spending as much as possible(like everybody hasn't already). I mean even more so. Buy only food, rent, booze, smokes, gas, and nothing else. Quit going out to dinner, to the movies, pro sporting events, cut your cable package back, your phone package, no cars, appliances, cloths, etc. make the consumer confidence index look bad. Just until we get rid of the chimp. Then go back to normal. If we could use this as a flanking move to go along with the AWOL issue at the front. Maybe we could get moveon.org and some of the others to join in. Put it out there on meetup.com also. I know we can make a dent. What do you folks think???

3. Have stopped buying everything
I don't need to live. My car is 10 years old, drives great and only has 72,000 miles. I've always bought the same type of clothes, jeans, oxford or denin shirts, blazers, loafers and/or keds. In style or not it's MY style.

The only money I plan on spending this year is to the Presidential Campagin and I'm going to give the max and then have family members max out. I'll go barefoot and nekked but, I'll find money to support this election. We are going to WIN!!!!

I also stopped doing business with local shops by finding out who they vote for. Bush...lose me forever as a customer. Lost a great haridresser that way. Found another - she's a Democrat.
