  • A Chain Email Idea I Just Received To Get Gas Prices Down

    This IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

    This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

    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!
    It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

    I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?

    We need to take some intelligent, united action. ; 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 $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.98 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 wimp 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 30 people. If each of us 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 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 $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.


    Keep it going

    OK here is the problem, We have heard this and seen these emails before telling us not to buy from company X for this much time but if we do not buy from these 2 companies are we now supporting other companies that might be tied to the middle east that are not so nice. This is a no win situation. IMO once we have a new President in office that the family has no ties to oil then and only then will we see prices drop.

      I already do not purchase from the Venezuelan companies. Citgo, Lukoil and Valero. Adding Exxon/Mobil isn't tough as I don't normally buy from them anyway.

            Lawren,

            I don't know how true this is but I got this re: Chavez.


            Subject: Fw: Chavez - NO PETRO EXPRESS


            PLEASE READ AND FORWARD

            Chavez is NOW getting a Russian Weapons Factory built by Putin.

            The RUSSIANS are building an AK-47 Kalashnikov Assault Rifle factory
            in Venezuela , to give armament support to Communist Rebel groups
            throughout the Americas.

            Chavez NOW has IRANIANS operating his oil refineries in Venezuela for
            him. It is likely only a matter of time, if not already, before Chavez has
            Iranian built LONG RANGE missiles, with a variety of warhead types aimed at: Guess Who?

            CITGO is NOW in the process of Changing Its Name to PETRO EXPRESS
            due to the loss of gasoline sales in the USA due to the recent publicity of
            ownership by Chavez of Venezuela .

            Every dollar you spend with CITGO or PETRO EXPRESS gasoline will be
            used against you, your basic human rights, and your freedoms. He will start wars here in the
            Americas that will probably be the death of millions of free people.

            THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT because Chavez is starting to feel the loss of
            revenue from his holdings.

            HE OWNS CITGO. This is a very important move that everyone should be aware
            of.

            ANNOUNCED JUST RECENTLY, CITGO, BEING AWARE THAT SALES ARE
            DOWN DUE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS NOT WANTING TO BUY FROM "CITGO-CHAVEZ", HAVE
            STARTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF SOME OF THEIR STORES TO: "PETRO EXPRESS"

            DO NOT BUY FROM "PETRO EXPRESS" EITHER!!!

            "PETRO EXPRESS" IS ALSO 100% OWNED BY "CHAVEZ."

            KEEP THIS MEMO GOING SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
            "If a Nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.... If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed."
            -- Thomas Jefferson to Col. Yancey, 1816
