Good comments. A one day strike is never going to bring down the government and it is not intended to do so. The purpose of a one day strike is to show the government that we Americans are united in our disgust and we have the organizational ability to effect change if they won't. However, if enough of us strike for one day, it will certainly have an economic impact. Think about what you do in one day, where you go, and what you spend. Now think about the same if no one did it.

You are correct, the post is a little redundant....well maybe totally redundant. Sorry. I have read some of the comments made regarding the blog. My thought is that if as many of us as possible call in sick, then the government loses tax money that day (some of your income is not taxed when you call in sick) and it will let them see how many Americans can pull together to form a possible voting block. Also if we stay home, it hurts many industries who depend on people
Read my blog. Are you tired of being ignored by government? Do you think your vote doesnt count? Think about this. In my previous blog I discuss ways to get congress to listen with little effort on each American citizens part. Just stay home. Yup, thats it....Just stay home. One day only....No driving-No shopping-No work. Read the blog
When are we going to pull together as a nation and get off of our lazy butts and do something about a do-nothing congress. In the last 2 years: 1. Gasoline prices have doubled 2. Fuel oil prices have tripled 3. Electricity has doubled 4. Oil company profits have skyrocketed 5. Congress has failed on immigration legislation which affects all of us. &
