Think about it and do it. It will work.

>Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a

>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 on and join with us! By now you're probably
>thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It
>is currently $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 that BUYERS control the
>marketplace..... not s! ellers. 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
>at this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to
>reach millions of people.

>I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at
>least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at
>least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the
>message reaches the sixth group 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 e-mail 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 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. I suggest that we not buy from
>EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND
>KEEP THEM DOWN.

>THIS CAN REALLY WORK
