By way of friends in Minneapolis who got it by way of friends in Williamstown:
If Gasoline Prices are affecting you, take a moment and read------THEN ACT
It has been calculated that if everyone in the United States and Canada did not purchase a drop of gasoline for one day and all at the same time, the oil companies would choke on their stockpiles. At the same time it would hit the entire industry with a net loss of over 4.6 billion dollars which affects the bottom lines of the oil companies.
Therefore September 1st has been formally declared "Stick It Up Their Behind" Day and the people of these two nations should not buy a single drop of gasoline that day. The only way this can be done is if you forward this E-MAIL to as many people as you can and as quickly as you can to get the word out. Waiting on the Government to step in and control the prices is not going to happen.
What happened to the reduction and control in prices that the Arab Nations promised two weeks ago? Remember one thing, not only is the price of gasoline going up but at the same time airlines are forced to raise their prices, trucking companies are forced to raise their prices, which affects prices on everything that is shipped.
FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES, etc. -------- who pays in the end? WE DO ! We can make a difference if they don't get the message after one day -------- we will do it again and again. So do your part and spread the word. Forward this email to everyone you know. Mark your calendars and make September 1st a day that the citizens of the United States and Canada say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".

this makes little economic sense, unless you suspect a conspiracy: after hurriacen katrina, there is an oil shortage, and gas stations are already ("preemptively") raising prices at the pump. one day's reprieve will not choke the system but relieve the demand for gas. by participating in this scheme, you might actually take the pressure off a little, resulting in less of a gas price spike in your neighborhood. then again, maybe not.
Right-wing conspiracy to start a phony gas boycott movement just when there is a Katrina induced gas shortage ?
oy vey! the mind boggles....
