NO GAS...On May 15th 2007

Don't pump gas on may 15th
...in April 1997, there was a 'gas out'
conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.

There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets
for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry
for at least one day.

If you agree (which I can't see why you wouldnt) ...resend this to all your
contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th'

I don't see how it makes a difference to the oil companies if they sell gas on the 14th and 16th rather than on the 15th.

They've got us right where they want us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

Yer right. Seems we need to pick one company and do a longterm boycott to start a price war. And since we all hear about Exxon/Mobile's huge record-setting profits every quarter, I say let's start with them. Heck, I don't buy from them anyways.

The next step is to find out why we can't build more refineries - it seems to me the reason prices are so high is due to lack of refinery output, not oil shortage. That's what I hear from the media at least. Anybody hear anything in the news about fewer tankers coming to the U.S.? Nope. But everytime we hit hurricane season the price goes up.

Either that, or we could all stop bitchin' and buy oil stocks. Maybe dig our hands back into their pockets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

It's quite amazing what you can do if you get enough people moving in the right direction. I don't see the point in bitchin' about it w/o doing something about it. It could start here or somewhere else.......eventually enough is enough

Make a stand.....Throw your vote in and let's make a choice. Pass it on if we can show the people can shut down one station for a month (not just one day) then we will have been noticed and the other companies will not want to take a chance with being the next boycott victim

Turn this thing around on them and show them where the power really lies. My rant but I'm fed up.
