Fighting the increase in Gas prices [RE-wrenches]

[Dana Orzel]

 I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer Want
gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united
action. A friend of a friend, 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 it and
join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.03 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 million! s of Exxon and
Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp 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 about thirty people. If each of you send 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 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. 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. 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 CAN REALLY WORK.
If you're not outraged by what the oil companies are doing to us, go see
your doctor, you may be suffering from terminal apathy! Perhaps he/she can
prescribe something for you...
