This was emailed to me, couldn't hurt.
Join the resistance!!!!
We are approaching $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Do you 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 year!
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. It is currently $1.97 for regular unleaded.
Now that the oil companies 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 the 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 million! s of Exxon and
Mobil gas buyers.
It's really simple to do!! Now, 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 and DON'T purchase
ANY gasoline
from EXXON and MOBIL. 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 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 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 COULD REALLY WORK.
PASS IT ON, PLEASE!
