I hear we are going to hit close to $1.00 a liter by the summer.
Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent,
united action. Philip 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 $.65 is
super cheap. 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
$.65-.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), ESSO and
PetroCan. 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 ESSO
and PetroCan gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp 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!
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 30 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 AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK. YOU KNOW THEY LOVE HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER TRAVELERS.
You don't own the future, you don't own the past, today is all you have.
