Forum Post: the plan

the point that i would like to plant in our minds is that we ourselves hold the power we are the nation, the economy, the population. how we spend our paychecks makes up 100% of the economy. to change things we just need to set our minds to doing what it takes to get it done. heres the plan.1.to take control and not be controlled2. look for ways to spend our money locally with our friends and neighbors 3.reduce your trip to the big box stores 4.consider farmers markets over a chain food store 5. use small bank or credit union 6.use local gas and c-stores 7.look for American made products 8. stay out of micky-ds and look for more healthy and wiser family owned store 9.understand that these family owned stores really can't go head to head with the big boys. understand you will pay more, service will suck, return policy will be worse, staff may be limited. but your money stays local, that's important and worth the pain. 10.understand that your actions have power, where you spend your dollars really counts, look for ways to get your dollars in the hands of those around you. this make your community strong. if you need a service look on craig to see whos offering that service. this creates jobs, and please use caution. 11.always vote with your dollars, the rich are rich because we give them our pay checks each week. they suck at investing in communitys. so its up to us. 12.remember we are the customer. the whole country wants our dollars. we hold the power. lets us use it wisely, and god bless all of you
