      <![CDATA[Ribbons are gay.  We need to vote with our dollars, not with our accessories.... Less ribbons, more stuff like this:<br />
<br />
"We are calling for a nationwide strike and economic boycott by all members of our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered community AND OUR STRAIGHT ALLIES on December 10th, 2008, International Human Rights Day.<br />
<br />
WHY SHOULD WE DO IT?<br />
<br />
Because LGBT workers, business owners, consumers and taxpayers contribute over $700 billion to the U.S. economy each year and should not be treated as second class citizens.<br />
<br />
Because general strikes and economic boycotts are a powerful weapon in the history of non-violent protests. See <a href="http://www.pbs.org/now/society/boycott.html">http://www.pbs.org/now/society/boycott.h&hellip;</a>. For many of those protesters, their actions came at a cost, but we must be willing to make sacrifices to fight for equal rights, including the right to marry.<br />
<br />
Because marriage should be a Right for all Americans, regardless of gender, race OR religion.<br />
<br />
Because until ALL are equal, NONE are equal.<br />
<br />
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?<br />
<br />
Strike: call in gay, shut down your business, take the day off.<br />
<br />
Boycott: don't buy anything or spend money.<br />
<br />
Participate: visit <a href="http://www.daywithoutagay.org/">www.daywithoutagay.org</a> for a list of volunteer and/or protest opportunities.<br />
<br />
Communicate: we need everyone's support!<br />
<br />
Our co-sponsors include:<br />
JOINTHEIMPACT.COM<br />
DAYWITHOUTAGAY.ORG<br />
DAYWITHOUTAGAY.NET "<br />
<br />
Thanks for forwarding this, Travis.

      <![CDATA[#14 - wasn't yellow also the "I support the troops" or "bring home the troops" or somethingrather from the first Gulf War? Or was that gold?<br />

I can't wait to buy my OFFICIAL ribbon... where there's a movement, there's a buck to be made.

      <![CDATA[Jeeeez.  All these colors.  I can't remember them all.  I went to <a href="http://www.craftsnscraps.com/jewelry/ribbons.html">http://www.craftsnscraps.com/jewelry/rib&hellip;</a> to find out what color went to what.  I think they should pick Pale Yellow.  That way, the movement only has to compete with spina biffida.
