Feel like Congress doesn't listen or respect your opinion when you call? Have they repeatedly ignored calls of fed-up Americans and still passed bank bailouts and pork-laden "stimulus" packages, regardless of our demands? It's time to stand up or shut up! This March 13-19th, we stop whining and complaining amongst ourselves! It is time to walk the walk! March 13-19th No Work! No School! No Shopping! March 19th: March on Washington.
Can't get to Washington? Protest locally at Congressional offices, state Capitols and local media offices.

We will no longer sit idly-by while our country is looted and our children's future mortgaged to China. Enough is enough!

Whether you call it the world financial structure, the U.S. culture of waste, or the ability of the common man to make a decent living, the system is broken. It's time for the common man to go on strike. Join or support the March on Washingon (more...)
