This was posted elsewhere, but it sounded like a good idea to me!
Subject GAS WAR
A pretty simple plan to take the power back. I'm in.
Read on....Subject GAS WAR!
Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Want
gasoline prices to come down We need to take some intelligent, united
action. Phillip Hollsworth, offered this good idea This makes MUCH
MORE SENSE than the don't buy gas on a certain day campaign that was
going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that
because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to
buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for
them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can
really work.
Please read it and join with us!
By now you're pro! bably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded in my town.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us
to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50- $1.75, we
need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the
marketplace....not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline
from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be in! clined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers.
It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp out on me at this point...keep
reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to
at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten
more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION
consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten
friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes
one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION
PEOPLE!!!
Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If you
don't understan! d how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do
is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician
But I am . so trust me on this one.)
How long would all that take If each of us sends this email out to ten
more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you I didn't think you
and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a
difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. PLEASE HOLD
OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
This is how I received this email, but I say let's hold out till the
prices are below $1.00 per gallon range.
