AVOID the BIG ONES!

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 $2.43 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 market >> place....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 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. >> >> 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. >> >> PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE >> >> $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. >> >> THIS CAN REALLY WORK. >> >> Kerry Lyle, Director, Research Coordinator Interventional Cardiology >> Research Laboratories Division of Cardiovascular Diseases 932 >> >> Ziegler Research Bldg >> >> 703 South 19th Street >> >> University of Alabama @ B'ham >> >> hmmm...might be worth a try, folks....nothing else has worked... Get on >> board???? >> >> The most beautiful things in the world are not seen or touched. They are >> felt with the heart
