Fw: FW:Lowering Gas Prices --PLEASE READ THIS AND PASS IT ON

[Guest guest]

Off topic, except for people who drive..> Received this from a friend and thought it worth passing on.> ___________________________________________>> 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. 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. 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.> ============================================================---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.598 / Virus Database: 380 - Release Date: 2/28/2004Packing horses, mules and donkeys, their equipment and methods.
