i recieved this in an email AB.
Hey Guys,
>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. 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

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 themarketplace..... 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

are not selling any

reduce their

>
>But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions
of Exxon and

wimp out at this

to reach millions

consumers. If

>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

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.
