Forwarding........


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. 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 $1.97 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 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!!!
