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.[font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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?[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'] [/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.98 for regular unleaded in my town.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'].[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'].not sellers.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one),[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'] EXXON[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'] and [/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']MOBIL.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. [/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'] [/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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!![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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 x [/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']10 = 3,000)...[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'].
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']If it goes one level further, you guessed it...... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif'](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.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']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!!![/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']
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.[/font][font='Bookman Old Style', 'serif']

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.
"What are you doing in there?" she asked.
The rabbit replied:
"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?", to which the lady replied "Yes."
"Well," the rabbit said, "I'm westing."
Sorry... I couldn't stop myself.
Have a Wonderful Easter...
