This just might work.
GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from
one
of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It's worthy of
your
consideration.
Join the resistance! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a
gallon by
summer and it might possibly 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 earlier! 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 2007, 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 sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at least
ten
more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more
(300 x
10 =3D 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.
