>This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day"

>$2.79 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

>Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN

>Here's the idea:

>For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest

>But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and

>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 e-mail out to ten

>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,

>UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

>THIS CAN REALLY WORK
