Reverend Billy and the authentically soulful Church of Stop Shopping Choir are a polished act..." "By the time they're done, they've made a convincing case that the spiritual bankruptcy of nonstop consumerism is not only psychologically corrosive but contributes to the destruction of the global environment, the concentration of American economic power in an ever-smaller number of hands, and the abuse of impoverished and politically disempowered workers in developing nations. Not bad for a fake preacher."
This film opens this week-end, see it if you can.
Every year at this time we sit around the table and celebrate Thanksgiving. It's a time we share with family and friends and each reflect on what we are most thankful for!
Then Friday the madness starts! Millions of American's flood the malls and super-stores to spend money on presents that might eventually be forgotten or misplaced. It's known as Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year.
So let me make a suggestion, do something different this year. When you sit down this Thanksgiving, remember our fore fathers who gave us this great nation. Then on Black Friday be a "Beacon of Hope" that shines on our future. It's your chance to purchase a gift that we can pass on to our children: a better America. A free America. The protection of our democracy!
Want a different kind of president! One that will put the country back the way we the people want it -- contribute to Dennis Kucinich
Be a "Beacon of Hope" - please make your contribution.
