Eh, I got this in my e-mail today.
this is worth a try!
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola
executive It came from one of his engineer buddies
who retired from Halliburton. 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.
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 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 over 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
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.

Thanks for your support,
Anyone else seen this poppping up in their inbox lately? I'm wondering if this is just a really good marketing campain against EXXON. Those ads people have gotten smarter you know. :)
