THIS COULD WORK!! We CAN buy gasoline that's not from Middle East. The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00- 8/31/01): Companies that import gas from the Middle East: Shell......................205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco.............144,332,000 barrels Exxon /Mobil...............130,082,000 barrels Marathon/Speedway..........117,740,000 barrels Amoco......................62,231,000 barrels If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil: Citgo......................0 barrels Sunoco.....................0 barrels Conoco.....................0 barrels Sinclair.................. 0 barrels BP/Phillips............... 0 barrels Hess.......................0 barrels All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis. Keep this list in your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism............. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do!! I'm 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. How much would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next eight days!

I feel sure that you are trying to be helpful, but if people followed your instructions to spread this message, you and they would be contributing to the flood of email (SPAM) that clogs up the internet. I am always wary of messages that ask me to send something to everybody in my address book or to a certain number of people. That type of message usually gets immediately deleted by me. Sorry...
