>> GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work
>>
>> 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 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 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. Heck,
>> pass it on even if it doesn't make sense to you, we need to
>> reach as many people as possible. 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.
