i got this off another forum
I got this in an email and thought it was a good idea....sorry that its soooo long....
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. California is already over $2.00 a gallan.
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.

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 market
place....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 2 biggest companies, EXXONMOBIL & Shell. 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 ExxonMobil & Shell 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 3 MILLION
consumers!
If those 3 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. 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
