This was Email to me by a bud, take a look.
Let's put a stop to these out of control greedy companies. Enough is enough.
Subject: Gasoline Prices
Dear friends & family,
I hear we are going to hit close to a $1.42 a
Litre by the 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 $.80 a litre is super cheap. Me too! It is
currently $.92to $.95 depending on what day it is, for
regular unleaded gas in Vancouver and also in Montreal, Qc. We all know that we're being screwed by the oil companies.
Does everyone remember how they drove up the prices way
past a dollar and got the gas prices to where they
wanted them, claiming 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 litre 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 we all rely
on our cars, we cant 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 plan : For the rest of this year, DON'T
purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
(which now are one by the way),
PETRO CANADA & 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. Its 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 = 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 (If you don't understand how we can
reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this
to 10 people... Well, lets face it, you just aren't a
Mathematician. But I am. (This was written by the original
sender)so trust me on this one.)
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! This will work. 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 $0.70 OR LESS RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK!!!!!!! So...don't buy from Petro Canada or Shell at all until the gas is below about $. 70 and then shut the others out, What do you think?
JUST DO IT!
PLEASE take a few minutes and pass this on to
everyone you know!! If you can't e-mail it to at
least ten people, please print out a bunch of copies
and hand it out to your family and friends!!
Let's put a stop to these out of control greedy companies. Enough is enough.
