It's your money. Don't make it their money

For many it is difficult to simply close out all accounts at banks and move them to Credit Unions, mainly because you're buried in debt. There is no better time than now to get those debts paid off. Everytime you refuse to make an impulsive purchase you are refusing to feed the Bush economy. Cut way back on purchases, buy used, freecycle, shop at your local Farmers Market and thrift stores or consignment shops. I do. I have for years and I don't smell bad or look particularly destitute. I even cut my own hair. Don't look just yet, it's still growing out.

Take the rest of this month and vow that you won't buy anything new, not even a new pan for that Thanksgiving pie. Yes, you can get a real haircut if you must!

Leave a comment and let me know you're on board. Bob would like to know too. The more who participate, the deeper the impact! I'm considering setting up a separate, more interactive web page if interest indicates. This IS within our power. Our money is one of the only voices we have readily available for awhile.

For some more practical steps look at the Co-Op America website. I'll point to more of these ideas in the future.

With Bush still on my mind, I want to point to Deb's page outlining his Civil Rights record. The man is pitiful. His accomplishments are as skimpy as his smirk. Don't feed his machine.
