Our votes are only useful every 2-4 years.
Spending boycotts are easy.
Can be done from the comforts of home.
When you're not spending you're saving money.
They can't shoot you in the streets.
Cut out the Starbucks and Dunkin donuts on the way to work could save you $25-30 a week, $100± a month rainy day emergency stash.
Think about it. Everyday, every month each of us can get a little satisfaction from sticking it to the Man.
Remember, starve the beast, was that during the Bush/Cheney days?
