A great idea  forwarded by a friend and business associate.

Join the  resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon 
by next summer  and it might go  higher!! 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 on and join with us! By now you're probably thinking gasoline 
priced  at about $1.50 is super cheap.  Me too! It is currently $2.79 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 at this 
point.... keep reading and I'll  explain how simple it  is to reach millions of 
people.

I am sending this note to 30 people. If  each of us sends it to at least ten 
more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and 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 group 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 just aren't a mathematician. But 
I am, so trust me on this  one.)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail 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 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. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY 
LOWER  THEIR PRICES TO THE  $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.

THIS CAN REALLY  WORK.
