I was just remembering what a beautiful day it was last april 15th ...... ahhhhh warm weather ..... I could go for some right now.

Kat Kanning

Good ideas...and you know we always like to burn stuff.  :violent5:

Hello Folks,

It's that time of year again when we collect as big a list as we can of
actions around the country protesting the (MIS)use of U.S. tax dollars
for war. This year the last day to file is Monday, April 17, and April
15 falls on a Saturday, so there's lots of opportunity for protest.
(For
those who do Good Friday peace actions, that falls on April 14 and
could
be tied to taxes too.)

If you need a reminder as to what last year's list looked like, it's
still at http://www.nwtrcc.org/taxday2005.htm. We should be putting up
the new & growing list before too long. It will probably be at a
similar
address but with 2006 replacing the 2005.

Besides posting the list on the web, we send out a press release a week
or so before tax day. It gets blasted to hundreds of media outlets
around the country and the intention is to bring more attention to
local
actions, so we hope that you will want to get you listing in to us as
soon as you can. We also print the list in our April newsletter. The
deadline for that is next week, so if you know what you're doing now or
have a pretty good idea, please let us know as soon as you can.

Please include all the basics: who, what, when, where (with address) -
and an email contact and a phone contact if possible. Let us know if we
can post the phone number on the web or if you would like us just to
refer appropriate inquiries (media and individuals) to the phone
number.

Thanks very much. We look forward to hearing from you!

and the FedGov's use of the money has about the same productive result as just burning it.

Actually Burning money is far more productive then what the Feds use it for.

True, you can use it for fuel and wallpaper like the Inter-war Period Germans did with their Deutschmarks :D

BTW, do you see a danger of (even more) Hitleresque "fearless god-like leader" attempts to come out of the financial crash here in the US if/when it happens again? After all, last time Americans ended up w/ frikin FDR...

Actually I was thinking, if they burned the money I gave them, the money I still had would be worth more because of the decreased supply.

Plus they wouldn't be using it to beat me over the head.

Sounds like a film crew would like to come and film what we do on April 15th.  Let's come up with something good!

Russell Kanning

If noone speaks up, we will hold our event in Keene in front of the Post Office/IRS office.

How about someone can lay around in a pool of ketchup with a sign "Taxpayers being bled dry"?

Something about "You can't get blood out of a rock, unless you are the IRS"

Olympic size?
Kool Pool?

Or, the easier to arrange 'Puddle Of Ketchup'  From a large bottle, probably available at Walmart, pretty cheap?

Kat Kanning

Walmart brand, even.  Want to be the bloody body?   ;D
