GAS WAR - an idea that WILL work

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.

online mass emailing

This is strictly for fun.
This is not about the fact that hacking email is illegal (we all know it is)
nor is it about how her privacy was violated (ethically it was, no matter if you think it was partially justified).

So last night I was reading about all this and found a chat thread were a few people were ticked because the know the conspiracy theory people will immediately blame the DNC camp and Obama.

Others pointed out that while that was an easy conclusion to reach, it was really too simple an answer given that only the most useless information from the account got publicly posted (seeded across) on the web. That a more interesting assumption was that Karl Rowe had it done so he can spin it into a sort of watergate issue and make people sympathize with the victim, i.e. Palin.

As I’m going to sleep though a beautiful theory occurs to me. What if this is Carleton Fiorina paying back Sarah Palin for cutting her off from the main campaign? That’s a great motive for someone who probably has the skills to do it in an untraceable way. Plus it has the added benefit of them almost certainly turning back to Carly for advise on how to toughen up their PC security to prevent another hacking!

A very pretty little theory I think. And maybe, just maybe Karl Rowe sort of suggested it to Carly because he a) knew he could spin the results in favor of the McCain ticket and b) that he felt having Carly around was more important than the mistake she made in the interviews the day before

Why Carleton Fiorina was cut off from media access thus giving her a motive for this: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/17/2172/51510/770/601288 & why Palin was so mad at Carly: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/17/palin-fiorina-ceo/
come on guys, give me YOUR conspiracy theories!
and for heaven sake, why did that idiot just spam a chat software? don’t follow it, it could be a virus or cookie grabber site that enables them to hack you!
hey Paul Grass, do you know who Carly is? She works for the RNC and McCains campaign, but most importantly she is the former CEO of HP!
