NO GAS...On May 15th 2007 Don't pump gas on may 15th
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest
of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are asked not to get gas in protest of
high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and
the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil company's pockets for
just one day, so please, do not go to the gas station on May 15th and let's try
to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree send this to everyone on your contact list, requesting they
''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
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 Haliburton. 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 $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 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 x 10 = 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 $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
