I know this is off subject matter, but if we do this it just could
work, I'm willing to give it a shot, how about you folks?

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.

> It's worth your consideration.  Join the resistance!!!!

> I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next

down?
>  
> We need to take some intelligent, united action.  The oil companies

"hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas.

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

> 
> The only way we are going to see the pric e 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

> 
> 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 x10 = 3,000)...and s o on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth group of pe ople, 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 d on '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 couldconceivably 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 < /U>UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR
PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.  THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
