25. 1/4 page flyers with exec salaries AND phone # of their reps in COngress/Senate
these can be handed out anytime a person goes to the gas station or anywhere else
cost is cheap at about 2 cents a piece
Do NOT leave them in a stack at the pump as that may be considered littering
Do NOT tape them to the pump as that may be defacing property
they can be posted at your local community message board (if rules permit it)
Carry the handbills with you where ever you go-pass stacks out to your friends to pass to their friends to pass out to the public at any public gathering
it is spring and will soon be summer, there are a number of places one can go to distribute flyers
when you are grocery shopping, at the movies, at a concert in the park, at your earth day festivals, at the company picnic, at the park
anywhere people are gathering
FED-UP with HIGH GAS PRIÇES?
Exxon-Mobile CEO Rex Tillerson makes $13.16 million
Chevron CEO David J. O'Reilly makes $34.61 million
ConocoPhillips CEO James Mulva makes $6.61 million
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation CEO James T. Hackett makes $19.65 million
Occidental Petroleum CEO Ray R Irani makes $54.40 million
Sunoco CEO John G Drosdick makes $12.49 million
CALL YOUR REP

maybe someone here can design a nice flyer w/a better title to print out
then people can add their local reps phone numbers before making additional copies
edited to change title on handbill
edited again to add what I posted on other thread
making a simple statement with a simple solution is about all people have time for these days
if people have energy and time they can also make a larger version and stand on the corner near the gas station
they can also call their local media and let them know when/where they will be protesting these insane prices
a child's art easel works great to tape a large poster with the info on it
but once again asking people to do something drops like a lead balloon
check out the number of views and response to my (this) separate thread...
many people will bitch to each other about the deplorable state of things, but are not willing to take a little time to contact the people (legislators) that can make a change
