>> GAS WAR!
>> Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to
>> $3.00 a
>> gallon by the summer and it might go higher!! 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 probably thinking
>> gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is
>> currently $2.09 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
>> inclined 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
>> &nbs p; 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 understand 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 lo ng would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail
>> 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 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. Kerry Lyle, Director, Research
