"Here's the idea,"
Who doesn't want war in the world?
The system has forgotten about something,
people power!!!
'We NEED to remind them!'
We don’t need the media we have internet.
The only way we are going to stop it,
is if they don’t have money to spend on bombs!!!!
Let's hit them where it hurts!
the plan, ssshhh,
the first week of FEBRUARY,
we don't buy corporation products,
we don’t pay bills,
we avoid the movies,
we prepare better,
we don't buy fast food!
we stop being consumorons!
we might even be sick from work,
(take a mental health day)!
"Keep our money in our pockets for one week!"
It's that easy!!
We all have to try something.
IF everyone who agrees with this concept forwards this mail,
the world will know in a week!? :)
this is a simple concept,
"NO EXCESS!"
survive with less!
easy,
just say NO EXCESS!
This crosses borders,
sets a new tone,
lets the poor know they're not alone!
The only people that can suffer from this,
are the rich,
and they don't care!
Let's come together and give them a scare!
let's give them back their fear,
with peace and love,
but no money!
"We need to show our kids that we care,
show the third world we care,
please, before it's to late!"
forward this email, it won't hurt!
hey what have we got to loose?!
NO EXCESS!
February means no excess!
just one week of no excess!

I already do, but I'm not protesting. My beleifs are different than yours! If you only do this for a month then you are in reality what you say you aren't.....carry this out to include the decade or a change in your own extravagant lifestyle.
make your own food from scratch. Live free!

The problem with ill-thought out "PEACE PLEASE PROTEST" thingy is the clerk at the gas station is putting food in their kids belly with the money you want to take away from them. Your cause won't crush the government it will only crush the people who barely get by. And if you haven't notice if the government runs out of money they borrow more. The government won't stop making bombs they'll stop funding education and food pantries that help those who need it and when that happens mothers and father everywhere will be forced to find ways to feed their children, maybe by chance walking in to where you work and taking your McDonald's Super Sized Meal Deal after they find out who started something to make them lose their job. And what will you do? Put them in jail, take their children away for what "PEACE". Peace is a state of mind nothing more and never will be. You have to fight your beliefs that's is how we create a livable peace. If you believe in something strong enough you will fight for it, maybe not physically but you will fight for it not just lay down and let your beliefs be trampled. Peace and war go hand in hand.
Do me a favor think about the people you want to hurt in the name of peace. Make the world a better place by not hurting those in need.
Good luck
Maybe try "Pay it Forward" a movie about giving instead of taking away. Watch it if you have not seen it maybe you'll get a idea that will make the world a better place.

Go for it on the protest. They need something new to show on CNN. As for boycotting "commercial" products for a week, you are just going to buy extra the week before, and replace what you used the week after. Makes no difference what day you buy it if you are still buying it. Remember, if a boycott really worked, it would put almost everyone out of a job. Shutting down corporations may sound great, but what are you going to eat and wear?
