Think it might work?

Just received this e-mail:


IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME,
THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.


AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

THEREFORE SEPTEMBER 1st HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR BEHIND " DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THESE TWO NATIONS SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GASOLINE THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE
ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?

REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES
ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL
SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT

AGAIN AND AGAIN.

SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE SEPTEMBER 1ST A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

Maybe a week would send a message, but I don't think a day would do it.

Let’s face it, they have what we need......if we don't buy any gas for a day, it won't be long before we'll go crawling to them for our fix like junkies. :twitch:

I was thinking - if I fill up the S-10 - I can easily go for a week without having to gas up. But some folks have to travel far to their workplaces.

But wouldn't it be nice to put the squeeze on them for a change? :lmao:

What a bunch of Communists. The price of oil goes up and we complain and threaten boycotts. The oil companies have a right to charge whatever they want.

I think they should jack the price of oil up so high that NONE of us can afford it, because that will entice some enterprising soul to invent a feasible alternate fuel. Right now, there's no incentive because everyone is so stuck on the way things currently operate. But make that prohibitive and watch the inventors come out of the woodwork.

Yeah, it would, but they have us all by the short hairs and they know it. <img src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aktion/action-smiley-073.gif">

I should tell you the guy who sent me that e-mail is a Democrat; hates Bush and Republicans. :lol:
