>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, this is a plan that can really work.
>>Please read it and join.
>>
>>We all know that we're being controlled by the oil companies. Does
>>everyone remember how they drove up the prices and got the gas
>>prices to where they wanted them, claimin g there was a shortage of
>>oil. Well, there isn't any shortage now, and the oil is more
>>abundant than it was 35 years ago when the price of a gallon of gas
>>was 29 cents!!!
>>
>>Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us
>>to think that the cost of a litre of gas is CHEAP at $0.78-$0.85,
>>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 w e 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:
>>
>>PAY ATTENTION HERE
>>
>>For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two
>>biggest companies (which now are one), PETRO CANADA and SHELL. 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 PETRO CANADA and SHELL buyers. It's really simple to
>>do!! Now, don't whimp out on me at this point...keep reading and
>>Ill explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
>>
>> I am sending this note to at least thirty people. If each of you
>>send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) . And if those 300
>>send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 =3D 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.
>>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!!! Ill 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 $0.64 OR LESS
>>RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK!!!!
