Hello everybody;

 

 

 

With

follow-through this might work....

 

 

Pass it on......

 

PETRO CANADA

AND SHELL

This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It

came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. It ' s

worth your consideration.

 

Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to

$1.42 a litre by next summer and it might go higher!! 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 on and join with us! By now you're probably

thinking gasoline priced at about $99.9 is super cheap. Me too! It is

currently $105.5 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 litre

of gas is CHEAP at $78.9 & $89.9, 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), PETRO CANADA AND 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

gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out at

this point.... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach

millions of people.

 

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to

at least ten more (30 x 10 =3D 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least

ten more (300 x 10 =3D 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches

the sixth group 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, let's face it, you just aren't a

mathematician. But I am, so trust me on this one.)

 

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. I suggest that we not buy from PETRO

CANADA

AND SHELL UNTIL THEY

LOWER THEIR PRICES THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
