We can fight back!!
I know this isn't really technical or third gen specific but it needs to be seen. I got this email today and think it is a good idea.
Please don't lock this it needs to be seen.
This really is a good idea, it makes a lot of sense. Lets all try it, I
mean
what do we have to lose, more money for gas...we are doing that anyway.
)
A pretty simple plan to take the power back. I'm in.
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!!!
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.
But I am . 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 I 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.
This is how I received this email, but I say let's hold out till the
prices are below $1.00 per gallon range.
