We are now in a Consumption Crisis. We need to restimulate the economy now and we need your help.
Who: U.S. and World citizens are at risk
What: Consumption Crisis - Too many of us have stopped spending and it's leading to more problems
When: We can turn the tide December 6th and 7th
Where: Support the movement and start buying again
Why: We can't depend on our Government to save us. It's up to us! This shopping experiment will prove that we are the economy and we do have the power to improve our situation
Consumer spending is the most powerful movement in the World. When it stops, the economy stalls and people start losing jobs. We need to act now. Read the article by Thomas Friedman of the New York Times below:

Go shopping.
Obama can’t wait until Jan. 20 to weigh in on this. If we don’t stimulate the global economy fast enough and big enough, some of Obama’s inaugural balls might be held in soup kitchens.
When President Bush told us to go shopping after 9/11, he was right. We needed to stimulate the economy then. The problem was that the Bush economic team never turned off the green light and told people to “go saving.” So with easy credit seemingly endlessly available, American consumers saved virtually nothing and bid up housing prices to record levels. Retailers expanded stores and China expanded factories to accommodate all the shopping. It was quite a party. We had banks in America giving mortgages to people whose only qualification “was that they could fog up a knife,” one mortgage broker told me. more>
