Hi- I thought this might actually do something. So, I'm passing it
along to my friends, folks I know at church, or through my Yahoo groups. Thanks
for reading it- Catherine
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL
SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON. (I'd be happy with
$2.00)
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came
from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired
of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take
time to read this please.
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! It's worth your consideration. Join the
resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by
summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action. 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
$2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.46 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 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 30 people. If each of us 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
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 t o 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
$2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
Keep it going
