Help Bring Gas Prices Down
This was originally sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came to me via e-mail but wanted to post it because it’s worth your consideration.
Join the resistance!!!! I hear we are going to hit close to $4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action.
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 $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.89 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.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 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 EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Running a home based business reaps many wonderful tax deductions that other businesses some times may not claim. Most of the time, average home expenses can be related to your business can be added as a deduction on your taxes. We already had things like high speed internet access, cell phones, cars, and a room in the house we used as an office, but could not claim any of those items before. Because we talked with our tax accountant last year about our business, we were able to keep and now claim all of the receipts mentioned above which gave us an extra $4,700 in additional money returned to us with this years return! Even if we didn’t make a dime in our Home Based Business, we ended up saving over $3,700 more than we would have without investing in our business for the entire year! ($4,700 less $995 for startup and monthly web site fees for our On-Line Travel Agency.)
I am helping more and more people who see this business as a viable option. Just because you may not see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there. Federal Express has a slogan, “Moving Forward”. In their logo, there is an arrow pointing forward. Do you see it? If you don’t, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. I had no idea what the FedEx slogan was, or that there was any type of arrow in the logo. Now, I can’t look at a FedEx package or truck without that arrow slapping me right in the face. (If you still don’t see the arrow in the logo, you can
