Let's try This Again...

here's the thing-Nobody really listens to you or me anymore. When's the last time a cop or a judge wanted your opinion? When's the last time a poll showed a public opinion that you thought was a realistic view of American Public Opinion?

I just want to do a little experiment. This is as much to prove something to me as to you.

I want you to imagine that we all took an unannounced day off. Every cop, every fireman, every truck driver, factory worker, CNA, CPA, social worker, grocery store clerk, construction worker, etc. If every working-class American just sat down one day and refused to participate, what kind of effect would that have on the economy? On international trade? On the media and our government?

Who runs this country? Who takes out the trash, cooks our meals, guards us in our sleep? (sorry, had to throw a little fight club in there)

We do.

Who votes, pays taxes, keeps the country running?

We do.

In order to remind the powers-that-be that we are, indeed, still running the show, we should stop doing what we do for one day. All of us.

Impossible, you say? Not at all. Unlikely? That all depends on how many people get convinced that it is a good idea.

So now we get down to details.

We want to take the day off on Friday, October 22nd, 2010. We want no legislators or government officials involved in this campaign. This is a holiday in protest of crooked government policy and corruption in the United States Congress. This is neither a conservative or liberal act. This is not a Republican or Democrat plan. This is an attempt at a united protest of our failing government.

Pass it on...
