Sheet Music Online Update

Dear Sheet Music Online Members,

Give this some serious consideration:

Hey since this hurts us all, it might be worth a try.


Subject:Join the resistance!


I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. 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 it and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is
super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $1.97 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 whimp out on me at
this point...keep
reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of
people!!

I am sending this note to about thirty 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. 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. PLEASE HOLD
OUT
UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS
CAN REALLY WORK.
