Only Americans can save the economy

Stop waiting for the President to do something. Stop applying for phony "shovel ready" stimulus money (as of yesterday less than 14% had been spent by federal agencies).

1. Go out and buy something from a local business today. Skip the internet.
2. If you are in business, put an advertisement in a local newspaper or magazine or TV channel.
3. Take the kids to the zoo or go to a movie and then out for ice cream.
4. To to the lumber yard or hardware store and buy that item to do the home repair you've been promising.
5. Leave bigger tips--bus boys pay rent too, you know.
6. Buy school supplies for a low income family at the neighborhood five and dime dollar or drug store.
7. Have a party--invite the neighbors.
8. Put $5 more in the collection plate next Sunday.
9. Buy stock in an American company whose products you know and trust.
10. And if you live in a state like Ohio that is proposing more gambling to bring in jobs, consider the fall out, the outside interests, and cost of social problems before you vote.
