But what if enough people stopped buying "NEW" automobiles, and bought
"used" ones instead...until the manufacturers sped up the process of tech
advancement to totally non-gasoline vehicles. What if this happened
dramatically over the next 4-5 years? Hmmmmmm.....

Folks, hope I'm not being bothersome with this but it's something that
affects all of us. I normally don't even read these must less forward
them on to anyone...but in this case I think this is "legitimate" and it
might really be helpful. It certainly seems feasible. Not directly
related to records management...but then you know it certainly relates
to virtually all of us at least here in the USA! If you found this
irritating I apologize in advance.

Important and POWERFUL INFO...read on and help reach a common sense
goal:
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
$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.
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 $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is
currently $2.79 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.
