Subject:Gas Boycott...ROTFL was: More info on the "Gas Out".

At $1.23 a gallon, who is complaining??? Aren't we the only country in the
world where gas costs less than $2.00 a gallon?

Quit the navel-gazing and whining. If you want to get fired up, get fired
up about the Butcher in the Balkins, or gun control, or Soylent Green (it's
people, you know...)

Gas boycott organized through e-mail, about as effective as a chicken wire
canoe. Have fun.

Subject: Addition to GAS OUT

I'm sure you've heard, April 30th has been targeted as a one day event to
stay away from all gas stations. THIS WILL NOT WORK! One day will not make
an impact on the outrageous prices we are paying for gas and the oil
companies are laughing throughout their board rooms.

Starting April 18th we will strategically target the BIG oil companies for
ONE WEEK.

Please do not buy gas at the stations on the following dates listed below:
CHEVRON---April 18th through April 25th
EXXON------April 25th through May 2nd
SHELL-------May 2nd through May 9th
Union 76----May 9th through May 16th
Texaco------May 16th through May 23rd
This will work if we all pull together!  There is a strong perception in
northern California by the oil companies that consumers will pay whatever
the market will bear. These weekly boycotts may be required on a continuous
basis until the message is clear that the unfair and unjustified high
prices will not be tolerated by the consumer.

Please forward this message to friends, family members, and anyone else who
will support this effort via email, fax, word of mouth etc.
