S.oldiers

H.ome from Iraq!

"I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it."

--George W. Bush, 11/4/04



BACKGROUND:

We United States citizens have allowed the Bush Administration to effectively bankrupt the U.S. economy by using OUR taxpayer dollars to fund an illegal, preemptive war on Iraq. To date, over 1,250 U.S. soldiers and an estimated 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died and nearly 8,500 U.S. soldiers have been wounded in this illegal war.

A growing number of people of all political persuasions are renouncing this illegal war as a grotesque failure. To George W. Bush we say, "Enough is enough!" It's time we citizens take control of how our money is spent! It's time we, the people, TAKE BACK AMERICA!

We must band together as a UNITED FRONT to stop the funding of the illegal, genocidal war on Iraq and bring ALL U.S. soldiers safely home.

Preventing the flow of capital to the government is the only way that the Bush Administration will comply with our demand. This can be accomplished through a MASSIVE, collective, cooperative CASH-flow boycott.

THE B.U.S.H. BOYCOTT:

WHEN: Monday, November 22, 2004*

(Phase I)

WHERE: banks, savings & loans, credit

unions, ATMs--nationwide

OUR ONE DEMAND:

Bring all United States soldiers

safely home from Iraq.

(B.U.S.H.)

HOW:

1) On Monday, November 22, 2004,

withdraw as much CASH as you can

afford to NOT SPEND from your bank,

savings & loan, credit union, or ATM

until all U.S. soldiers are safely home

from Iraq.

The amount of CASH can be $5, $10, $20

or more, whatever you can afford to NOT

SPEND until all United States soldiers are

safely home from Iraq.

2) COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE!!

If you withdraw CASH from your ATM,

black out your account number on your

receipt. Write: B.U.S.H. BOYCOTT on the

receipt, and put it in an ATM envelope.

Insert the envelope in the ATM message

slot.

If you withdraw CASH from a bank, inform

the teller or bank manager that you are

participating in the B.U.S.H. Boycott and

will REDEPOSIT this CASH when all

United States soldiers are safely home

from Iraq.

Email, fax, call, write government

representatives, the media, corporations,

businesses, and financial institutions

explaining that you have withdrawn CASH

from your savings account, that you will

not spend, lend or invest your CASH, and

that you will REDEPOSIT your CASH when

all United States soldiers are safely home

from Iraq.

3) Put YOUR CASH in a safe place. Do not

spend, lend, or invest it. Think of it as an

investment in our children's future.

4) Tell everyone you know about the

B.U.S.H. boycott.

5) The B.U.S.H. Boycott is a grassroots

effort created and supported by

concerned citizens who want the illegal

war on Iraq to end. It is not controlled by

the media, political pundits, or corporate

America. Its success depends soley on

we, the people of the United States of

America.

*THE B.U.S.H. BOYCOTT, will be REPEATED on the following dates:

Wednesday, December 22, 2004, Phase 2.

Thursday, January 20, 2005, Phase 3.

(INAUGURATION DAY)

PASS IT ON!!!!

Not for Just 1 Day, Not Just ATM's



Finally, a sensible suggestion! Appropriate to begin on November 22, the 41st anniversary of the beginning of the Neo-Con coup - in 1963 - the assassination of JFK.

But more than just one day must be observed, and more than cash withdrawals must be done.

ADD to the list:

A. Cancel all your cable & satellite TV contracts, and TELL YOUR CABLE'SATELLITE SUPPLIERS that the reason you're doing this is because of the war crimes against humanity in Iraq

B. DO NO HOLIDAY SHOPPING this season -that's right no presents bought in November & December 2004. And TELL YOUR CHILDREN, FAMILY, FRIENDS AND [most importantly] THE PRESS AND MERCHANTS that you won't be shopping for or from them and anyone else -and that you ask them not to shop for you. This includes for children.

Sorry, but gotta show we're really serious, and that means SACRIFICE and no more important symbol of commitment and sacrifice could be made now that to not spend anything on the Holidays. This will have a major impact on retail sales, and the economy, which of course, supports the war machine.
