Hey all, I got this in an email. I think this will work, if we work the plan. It's kind of a long post, but take the time to read it and pass it on.

Subject: A good idea I heard we are going to hit close to $3.00 a
gallon by the end of summer. 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 it and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.50 is
super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.75 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. (Tony's words: I already don't buy gas from
Exxon/Mobil because they get their crude oil form the Middle East and
some of that money ends up supporting terrorists to help them kill
our troops and I'll be damned if any of my money goes to terrorists
even if it's unintentional because my son is a Marine, so I buy gas
at either Gulf or Sunoco because they get all of their crude form the
US or Venezuela.)
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 (sic) 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 and DON"T
purchase ANY gasoline from EXXON and MOBIL. 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!!!
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! It will work even FASTER if you
send it to everyone in your email program. I just did.
