Xen: Great or Greatest?

We need to organize a nation-wide general strike. The various protests and stuff are fine, we can do that while striking. If we stop buying stuff and don't go to work and everyone who thinks Bush should be impeached and we should leave Iraq now, did that, it would stop all work in the country. If we add in common cause with illegal immigrants and throw in citizenship for all illegals in the country now, this country would be totally shut down. Yes July 4th is a holiday, so no one will notice, but its an important symbolic holiday, plus when no-one goes back to work on the 6th or 7th or... etc. It would take little time for the corporations to notice and would tell the people they are bribing in Congress to carry out impeachment, withdrawal and legalization of immigrants. This seems to work effectively in other democracies, so why not ours? I have no idea who to contact and how to get this going, but that's why I am posting it here. It needs no real organization anyway, everyone just do it. Stock up on supplies for at least a month and save some extra in case other strikers need some food. If we all work together we can change this country. The right is loud and claim that everyone supports Bush, but less than a third do support him and this cursed war.


Begin
Once it's over, we repeal the Patriot Act and end the War on Terror; I think we should end the War on Drugs too. We have a lot of debt to repay and one good way to do that is to legalize and tax drugs. Then we pardon everyone in jail who is in only for drugs only (no firearms and/or other charges). The we start fixing the country; we need to rebuild our infrastructure and rein in corrupt corporations. We also need to rebuild our standing in the world and return to a more altruistic foreign policy and try to normalize relations with as many nations as possible.
