Subject: Fight High Gasoline Prices
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 united, intelligent
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 year.
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.(California). 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, starting as soon after April 1st as possible,
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 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 them send it to 10
more (30 x 10 = 300) and those 300 send it to at 10 more (300 x 10= 3,000)
... and so on, by the time this message reaches the sixth generation of
people, we will have reached over 3 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 only one level
further, you guessed it.....THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!. All you have to
do is send this to ten 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, there it is, in black and white, so trust me on this one.)
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 GIVE IT A TRY UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK IF WE DON'T DELETE THIS AND KEEP IT GOING.
DO IT NOW, WHILE IT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND
WE'VE EVERYTHING TO GAIN. START IT YOURSELF WITH YOUR NEXT FILL-UP.
