Got this tidbit of info online, needed to share it somewhere here on my site. I think it is a good idea..






Forcing a Gasoline Price War


Join the resistance!!!!



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 in a couple emails. 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 neither am I, but 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





Have a happy day!!!
