   Come on people, lets get behind this--I for one want to take a long   
   trip this May and probably will go but would like to pay at least a   
   reasonable price for the gas.   
      
      
      
   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!!!
