I dont know about you guys, but im sick and tired of the gas prices going up, espically diesel. So I thought I would share this email that I got from a friend. Some of may have received it but for those of you who have not, here is it. I dont know if doing this will REALLY work, but I am willing to give it a try. (Subject: Gas War (IMPORTANT)
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from
one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s worth
your consideration.
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a
gallon by next 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 on and join with
us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is
super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.79 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 wimp
out at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to
reach millions of people. I am sending this note to 30 people. If each
of us sends it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300
send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the
time the message reaches the sixth group 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 long 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.
I suggest that we not buy from
EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
