A pretty simple plan to take the power back. I'm in._
Read on....Subject: GAS 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 gaso line priced at about $1.50 is_ super cheap. Me too! It is cur rently $1.60 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 gaso line_ from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If_ they_ are not selling any gas, they will be i nclined 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 friend s 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.
C&P and pass this on.

I guess it's worth a try, but I still think we should let the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members include Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela, eat SAND until we get oil for a FAIR PRICE.
