GENERAL STRIKE ON 1/20

by call to action

You CAN do something to show this government you find their policies repugnant. STRIKE! EVERY ONE OF YOU STRIKE AGAINST THIS REGIME ON 1/20!
This is a call for a general strike.

Complete nonparticipation. No work. No school. No shopping. Get in the streets - resist this government and its anti-poor anti-hope anti-peace anti-reason agenda.

You CAN do something to show this government you find their policies repugnant. STRIKE! EVERY ONE OF YOU STRIKE AGAINST THIS REGIME ON 1/20!

Don't shop
Don't work
Don't go to school
Don't drive
Don't participate in anyway with this regime

HIT THE STREETS!!!!

Don't buy anything day is not enough to oppose this regime.

This is a call for a general strike. Complete nonparticipation. No work. No school. No shopping. Get in the streets - resist this government and its anti-poor anti-hope anti-peace anti-reason agenda.

For one day let's bring this economy to its knees. No work will be done and no commerce will occur. Take note of those businesses that don't participate in the general strike - they are collaborating with this government by propping it up and sustaining it. Then boycott those businesses each day. Maybe the strike will continue into the next day and the next. But first Strike!

Let's stop this regime with the greatest power we have - our own will and strength to resist.

GENERAL STRIKE!!!

I’ll see you in the streets!

A general strike like the one occurred recently in the Ukraine may seem wholly spontaneous but the message of the idea has to break through to the masses. Notonedamndime.com has had some success already but there is still time for a push... Tell everyone you know about the general strike protest via email, word of mouth, letters to the editor, and talk radio. Stay as busy as you can if, for nothing else, a day of slacking on the 20th. If you absolutely, positively, must work on inauguration day please try to be slack about things.
A strong act of solidarity with the protesters in DC is almost as effective as being there oneself. We can do this.

I suspect not. There has been no talk of this "general strike" with three days notice in the general population or any workers organizations. This proposal for a "general strike" is poorly presented and without any of the groundwork necessary. All it is leftist sloganeering without an ounce of reality to it.

This extremely abstract proposal will attract no one to it because the time for a general strike is not near.

Building mass support for demonstrations against the inauguration, against the war is the revolutionary method for organizing, not spouting off the most leftist SOUNDING type of action. The masses must be brought into the demonstrations, these are the actions that dramatically change consciousness. Not isolated calls for "general strikes" that have no labor orientation and are completely out of touch with the current conditions of the struggle.

All over America the fake democracy has become apparent with the advent of the internet. Their propaganda media in this one nation are just one voice of many in the world internet that is overflowing with tales and pictures of war and prisons. The USSR tore down their wall. Let us tear down the American government wall built to restraint our development as a whole society.

A Mobile Alabama police officer called to deny my right to film with my Indy Media reporters hat at the gate of the Mobile Alabama city council. Thanks for the hat San Francisco Indymedia, I also have one from Beirut Lebanon from their Indymedia.

Positive Capitalism inspired innovation. Negative Capitalism inspired casinos, corrupted governments, unnecessary wars, and a fake democracy that is more like a state of territorial fiefdoms with terrorist intent in much of the USA, especially Mobile and Alabama and much of the Southwest where injections are allowed in addition to forced medical experiments.

Proof is at the links at the Mobile Audit Club. Free Art and Music also.
