I was sent this e-mail from a friend in Tennessee. For what it is worth.
Subject: Dropping Gas Prices
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU
HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his
engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the
gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take
time to read this please.
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! It's worth your
consideration. 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.
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 $2.00 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.19 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.
And under no circumstances buy from CITCO. 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 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 30 people. If each of us send it to
at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten
more (300 x10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches
the sixth group 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 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 $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
