JOIN the RESISTANCE!!!!



I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the end of
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 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 $2.43 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 market place....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 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 = 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. That's all.

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.



PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE

$1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

i was fortunate to fill up at 2.75 (for 93 octane). Since then, premium has gone up to 3.25 today at the cheapest place you can get it.

i'm about a half tank, and i'm going on a trip this weekend. [&:] i really don't want to pay for gas now. too bad i don't have my own gas pump

don't worry Audiphiles... Our Fearless Leader has a solution for us: don't buy gas unless you need it. that's right... that's the entirety of Bush's solution to the energy crisis: don't buy gas unless you need it. problem solved.
