Copy and send this e-mail about Mobil and Exxon, take consumer action NOW!

[Sgt. Peppers]

Think about this when you take a trip. Interesting.
>Subject: gas,,,,,,,,please read n send,
>Join the resistance!!!!
>
>I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. 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 it and join with us!
>
>By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super
>cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 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 about thirty people. If each of you 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
>generation 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 may not be a
>mathematician. But I
>am ... so trust me on this one.)
>
>How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email 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 I 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. PLEASE HOLD
>OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM
>DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
