� 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 $3.08 at Arco and Costco� for regular unleaded in Salem, Oregon and climbing every� week.

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.
