> Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If
you

is
> send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a

> 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.
