12. Boycott GAS
I have to think that boycotting gas and oil is the way to go. I know this has been tried before without a lot of success as it has lacked a coordinated effort. However, it IS where most of the Bush/Cheney crew's money is invested and I think it deserves another look.

As most of us are gas-dependent as to how we get to work or school, are we willing to take one day of the week to find another way to get there? Bike, bus, carpool, commuter train, walk, or just work from home?

Maybe if we agreed to not buy gas at all on that day as well that would create a larger ripple in their pond ... if I could pick a day, it would be Friday when most gas stations hike their prices for the weekends.

And, it must be understood that if we start this boycott, it will go on indefinitely until the effects are felt and reported widely in the M$M.

Anyone up for this? Can DU provide the leadership to get the other bloggers and liberal sites to sign on to this?
