Why didn't George W. think of this?
Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it.
It might even be good for us!
The Saudis are boycotting American goods.
We should return the favor.
in interesting thought it to boycott their GAS.
Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money
into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that
don't import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I
fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to
kill me, my family, and my friends.
I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil
companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies
import Middle Eastern oil :
> > Shell............................. 205,742,000 barrels
> > Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
> > Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
> > Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
> > Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION! (@$56/barrel its $34 Billion)
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
> > Citgo.....................0 barrels
> > Sunoco...................0 barrels
> > Conoco...................0 barrels
> > Sinclair.....................0 barrels
> > BP/Phillips..............0 barrels
> > Hess.......................0 barrels
> > ARC0......................0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy
and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much
they are importing.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of 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'm 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.
How long would all that take?
If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one
day, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the
next eight days!
So, what cha all think about that?! Lets all do this...and maybe it'll help gas prices...hum.
Today was alright. I got weight watchers tonight, and I don't feel like going to the meeting. Blah! My dad is out of town. I dno. I have all A's in all my classes except Chemistry which is a C+. Not to bad. I don't know. I feel like Jerry is upset about something. I don't know. It was probably just me, but If he is I want him to feel better!!!!! I love him :)
I'm guna go now. Byes
Love,
Melissa........
