I drive a van for my small business, and these days can use an easy $100 a week in gas for ONE van. We generally have only one or two stops a day, but we need to cover some ground. The van is a 2001, so it's not like I'm driving an old guzzler. The prices going up are directly affecting the life of me and my family. I'm afraid what the even higher prices will do to all of us as we drive even more this summer!
Do this for you!
Do this for your family!
Do this for everyone!
The gas companies that are crying that the gas taxes are responsible are recording record breaking profits in the BILLIONS!
Do you think it's any coincidence that the last couple of years we have seen gas stations go from places where gas is sold to gigantic spotless merchants with fancy pumps, advertisements and unnecessary extras!
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy prosperity as much as the next guy, an a clean gas station with a clean restroom is necessary to me, but it was all budgeted and paid for overnight. It's only because they feel they have all the power that they can do this.
It's a pretty simple plan to take the power back. I'm in.
Read on....Subject: GAS 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 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 about thirty people. 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 I am ... so 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.
Trust me. If they can get us to pay $3.00 a gallon, they will be happy to have us pay $3.12, then $3.29, then $3.47... Where will it stop?
We can afford this!
This hurts our WHOLE economy by not letting us spend our hard earned money at e business's we chose!
We can't allow this to happen!
Tell EVERYONE!
Tell the newspaper.
Call into he radio stations.
Make this fit on a page, print this up and hand it out at work, and to your family and friends.
Hand them out and pin them up at the gas station and the grocery store. Place it under windshield wipers.
Your whole way of life could be on the line if the economy suffers for the greed of big oil.
Don't brush this off as a chain letter.
This is your chance to take control.
Remember!
DO NOT buy their gas unless they are the ONLY station available. Then buy only what you need to get on with your day.
We will be victorious!
