[RECEIVED IN E-MAIL -- SOMEBODY IS ACTUALLY *THINKING* ...thanks, Deb]
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.
An interesting thought 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.
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!
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!
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!
