Sorry about the annoying format of this, but I thought youse might like it. _> I know this > is going to sound like a crazy idea, but if a group of terrorists > armed with determination can virtually stop the world's greatest > economy and nation, just imagine what we as Americans can do if we ban > together. Before you pass judgment, just think about the logic of > this for a moment and join in the effort. Then forward this e-mail to > everyone you know and ask them to help.Just as everyone else has over > the last several days, I have been wondering what I can do to help. > I've donated blood and I've donated to the charitable relief efforts, > but I've sat and thought about what can I do to help the economy? Our > airlines were shut down for almost a week, commerce virtually stopped, > America was stunned into silence and in the only time since the Great > Depression, Wall Street did stopped. This last year has been > especially rocky for our economy and the stock market. After an > unprecedented 10 years of growth, all of a sudden the stock market > declines and unemployment increases. The economists say that the leading market indicators are consumer confidence and consumer > spending. We've all watched the news, if Alan Greenspan (just one > man) can make a few remarks to Congress and impact the economy that > day, what would happen if all of America drew together and decided to > jump start the economy? It is time we show what we can do together and > that we WILL be the strongest nation on this earth.Now, what is my > crazy idea? On Sept. 20-23, in *addition* to your normal spending, > buy 1 additional item, use 1 additional service and donate $20 to your > favorite charity. I can hear the laughter now (you want us to help > America by shopping?), but I urge you to think of the logic ... What > better sign for us to show our consumer confidence and to support the > entire American economy then to buy American products and use American > services? You've been thinking of buying those new shoes. By buying > those shoes, you support the sales person, who can then in turn pay > their rent, who can pay the property taxes, who can then pay the > police, who can then buy groceries, etc. You say, I really don't need > anything right now, then buy an early Christmas or birthday gift and hold it. Don't make irrational decisions, but for those of you who > have the income and the wealth, we need you to make jobs. To make > jobs you need to use services and buy products. When these services > and products are bought taxes are generated and our government is > funded. The military actions we need to take are then paid for, as > well as the restoration of America.You don't have to do necessarily do > anything elaborate, just open your wallet to something you have been > putting off. While New York prepares to mourn the World Trade Center > Victims on Sept. 23, let's give the survivors jobs and a brighter, > secure future. Not one terrified that the economy will collapse just > like the buildings. So, during those 4 days make reservations for > your next vacation, buy a stock, look at a new car, take your kids to > the movies and ice cream, call your realtor, buy a boat/car/computer, > or buy a book/newspaper/magazine subscription. Then call your lawyer to review your will, review your insurance, schedule your teeth > cleaning, schedule your physical/mammogram/prostate exam, have your > tires rotated, get your car washed, go out to dinner, get your > hair/nails done or go to a theme park. Got the idea?Lastly, write a > $20.00 check to your favorite charity. A charity with money funnels > it into your local community and the economic chain impact starts all > over again. If you can't afford to write a check, look around your > home ... do you have items you can donate to the local shelter or food > bank? Can you donate a couple of hours to help out a local charity so > that they can spend their dollars elsewhere? Do you have a few hours > to spare to run an errand for someone else who would like to help > out?In summary here is what you need to do:1. Say a prayer;2. > Tell a family member and a friend you love them;3. Continue your > normal spending;4. During Sept. 20-23 - buy 1 additional > product;5. During Sept. 20-23 - use 1 additional service; and6. > Send $20.00 to your favorite charity.Don't let the terrorists win. > Those Americans died because they were hard at work. When you pay for > this additional service or buy this additional product on those days, > tell the clerk "This is for America, we're taking charge" to remind > him why you've made this decision at this time. It will encourage > him/her to pass it on. Let's ban together. I'm going to, are > you?Pass this on. September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
