I got this in an email from a friend and just wanted to share it with you.
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.
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola
executive. It came from one of his
engineer buddies who retired from
Haliburton. If you are tired of the
gas prices going up AND they will
continue to rise, 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 time gas prices shot up!
It's worth your consideration. Join the
resistance!!!!
We could 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. THE OIL COMPANIES JUST LAUGHED AT
DON'T BUY GAS FOR ONE DAY
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 $3.08 at Arco
and Costco for regular unleaded in Salem,
Oregon and climbing every week.
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 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 $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
