Getting Gas Prices Down
This came from my friend Mark. I don't have a car yet but seeing as I hope to have one soon I thought that sending this out to the people might be a good idea.
"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 at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is
to reach millions of people.
I am postng this note to 69 people. If each of us sends it to at
least ten more (69 x 10 =3D 690) ... and those 300 send it to at
least ten more (690 x 10 =3D 6,900)...and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over SIXTY NINE MILLION consumers. If those sixty nine million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 69 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... SIXTY NINE 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 690 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'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. 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.
RE-POST NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
(or if you have a diesel, go fill your tank with bio diesel, might cost a little more but that's not supporting the oil companies at all!)"
