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.

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 whimp 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.
