Why not?  We don't really need to buy anything on any particular day, and unlike most of these, by specifying a date instead of a generic day, people might get organized enough.  
Doesn't matter if you are Lib or Neo-Con, anyone who thinks that we shouldn't have gone to Iraq (either because it was a bad idea, or that we weren't prepared, or that there were false pretenses) should participate.

   "Not One Damn Dime Day" - Jan 20, 2005 - Inauguration Day
   Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the
   war in Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the
   moral courage to oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday,
   January 20th, 2005 is "Not One Damn Dime Day" in America.
   On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose what is
   happening in our name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour
   national boycott of all forms of consumer spending.
   During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not
   one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for
   necessities or for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for
   nothing for 24 hours.
   On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart,
   Target...Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store.
   Please don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for
   that matter). For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut
   the retail economy down. The object is simple. Remind the
   people in power that the war in Iraq is immoral and illegal;
   that they are responsible for starting it and that it is
   their responsibility to stop it. "Not One Damn Dime Day" is
   to remind them, too, that they work for the people of the
   United States of America, not for the international
   corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the
   corporations and funnel cash into American politics.
   "Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The
   politicians put the troops in harm's way. Now over 1,200
   brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis
   have died. The politicians owe our troops a plan - a way to
   come home.
   There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No petitions
   to sign.
   No left or right wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn
   Dime Day" you take action by doing nothing. You open your
   mouth by keeping your wallet closed. For 24 hours, nothing
   gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our religious
   leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility to
   end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people.
