Don't buy gas on Wednesday.

But WAIT, there's more.

When you have a few minutes to spare, on any day, stop in a gas station, pull up to the pumps, get out of your car, and tell anyone there:

"Don't buy gas on Wednesday".

We did a good job back in May when we asked everyone to not buy gas on the 15th, and we spread the word so well that it even got on the news,... lots of people did not buy gas on the 15th and the prices started down within a few days after that.

Previous 'gas out': http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/368245

Some how we forgot about our homes, families, and our own economic survival and only continued the 'gas out' for four (4) months. So gas prices went down for 4 months, and then when we went back to buying gas on the 15th, prices starting going back up - NON STOP - since.

So now I am trying to start a Protest - Boycott.

1 Do not buy gas on Wednesday.

2 Stop in gas stations and tell everybody not to buy gas on Wednesday.

1 If you have difficulty with avoiding the pumps on Wednesday,... make it a point to buy gas on Monday or Tuesday so you wont be tempted to buy on Wednesday. Sure, they may sell just as much gas this way,.. but in big business,... they watch their daily profits so they can laugh at us on a daily basis. If those dollars drop significantly on Wednesday,... they will panic, and prices should come down.

2 If you do this alone,... nobody will notice. You alone do not buy enough fuel to be noticed.

This means you need to tell others. So, make it a point to stop in at least one station every day and tell everybody that they should not buy gas on Wednesday.

What we want to hear about is when you pull into a crowded gas station and discover that, everyone there is plugging up a pump while telling every one not to buy gas on Wednesday.

Nobody can buy gas at the pump you are blocking.

On Wednesday,... go park in front of a pump and spread the word. This is such an easy protest! Just park in front of the pump and nobody else can buy gas till you move.

Please remember, that 'PEACEFUL PROTEST' is protected by the Constitution. When the police arrive,.. and beat people into submission, it is no longer peaceful. Please leave before the government can provoke a fight.

I suggest that you do not remain at any one station for more then ten minutes and leave immediatly when law enforcement arrives. (If they do not get an opportunity to tell you to leave,... you can return again and again)

This means we will need a whole lot of protestors so that we can tie up each pump all day long,... with people only staying in front of the pump for 10 minutes or less.

If people do this around the world, we should see prices below $2 a gallon in only a couple months.

Remember you cannot do it alone,... tell others.

We could continue to do this till the price is below $2 per gallon.

REVIEW:

1 Don't buy Gas on Wednesday!

2 Park at pump, while you tell others 'Don't buy Gas on Wednesday!'

As you can see gas prices are on their way back up.

I have responded by restarting the campaign:

Don't Buy Gas On Wednesday Till The Price Is Under $2

This time though, I am going to try something new.

First of all,... every day or few, I stand by a very active freeway offramp with a 20" x 30" sign so that everyone can read the message from a distance.  I ask for $upport, and have been getting enough to consider building up the effort.

I have just ordered 1000 bumper stickers that I am going to sell for $5 each.  I did get the $5 on the bumper stickers I sold in the last campaign.

These stickers can be put on the bumper, or taped inside the window facing out.  Either way, the message gets out.

If you would like some of these bumper stickers to distribute,... please let me know.

With more $upport, I can do more for the campaign.

When you consider whether you would want to support this effort,...

Please consider how much gas you use.  Let's say you use just 30 gallons a week.  At under $2 per gallon you are paying $60 or less per week.  That would be $3120 or so per year you spend on gas.

Add a buck to that price and at $3 per gallon,... you are paying $90 per week or $4680 per year.

If we do nothing and allow the price to go to $5 per gallon,... that would be $150 per week, or $7800 per year.  Do you folks make that much money?

What if it does not stop there,... What if the price goes up to $10 per gallon,...$300 per week,... $15,600 per year,...

But hey,... all those extra dollars could be used to buy an electric car and you could use all that gas money to buy the electric car and actually have something to show for the money.

Remember, when you buy an electric car,... you no longer have to pay for gas.  You would have to pay a fraction of the money for electricity, but you would have more money left to pay it.  Yeah, electric cars can only go about 100 miles per charge right now,... but most people could live well on 100 miles per day.

If you need to go long distance,... rent a gas car for a day or a few with the money you would have spent on gas.

If enough people start using electric cars,... then the people that make the cars and batteries for those cars can start doing mass production and the price will come down with it.

Soon enough we will be able to pull into a station and switch batteries about the same as we fill up with gas. 

Better then that,... we could help build the Pollution Free Electric Power Generator, that I want to create,... and switch to driving slot cars or something like that,... and not have to stop for refills of gas or batteries.

If you want to help with that,... please go here:

http://forums.treehugger.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=10756

and post a message of support about my efforts to Ed Begley Jr suggesting that he take a little time and meet with me.  I believe that Ed could help me build the first one, without using the technology to rip us all off,... like the gas companies are doing.  Most everyone else I can think of would try to use the generator to gain power over the masses and not really help anyone at all.

If you want to help me directly,... please put some money in an envelope and send it to me directly.  I will send you some of the bumper stickers and you can sell them to get your money back.

If anyone here needs an income,... you can sell the bumperstickers for profits,... and buy more of them to support the cause.  You make a lot of extra money,... and I would have enough money to make this campaign more noticable.

The address to order the bumper stickers is

Bill Edison (Checks and money orders should be made out to Eric Ormsby)

2915 E. South St

Long Beach, California, 90805

Please consider

1  Any money you send to support this cause,... will be regained by not paying over $2 for gas.  If you send $100 in support,.... then if we bring the price down from $3 back to under $2,... you will be saving $1 for each gallon you buy,... and you have your money back after buying 100 gallons of gas.

If you use a lot of gas,... then additional savings are yours to keep,... unless you want to support the cause more.

2  When I receive your 'donation' to the cause,... I will send you some bumper stickers and you can get your money back by selling them.

On the off chance that a whole lot of people were to send money,... Even $10 or hopefully $100 or $1000 or more,... that will help me get the generator built,... so whatever amount you send,... you will get benefit from it. We can start sanctuaries,... install the power generator,... and that would make each sanctuary fully $elf $ufficient,... with money left over to buy homes for those helping with this like yourself.  Everyone wins.

Saving money on gas, selling the bumper stickers,... or if enough comes in we could have sanctuaries that produce pollution free electricity.

Please copy this message and send it to your friends list,... or your friends of friends list,... and lets make it happen.

We stand together or we fall apart.

For the past month I have been gathering signatures on petitions.  It is the begining of the season, so the pay is very low, and the issues are not so good.

There is a positive side to this.  I have managed to get enough money to register my car,.... near $400 and now can go to better places to gather the signatures.

More petitions are coming,.... so instead of people signing just one,.... they can sign many and that increases the pay without the price per signature going up.

I am looking at buying a box truck.  I can put my storage in it,... then I have to have insurance and registration up to date just to keep the city (government) from towing it. 

However, I can use the car to find some property where I can have animals, and start gardening and rescuing animals,... while finding anyone willing to help.  Hopefully I will have my box truck storage there.  Most likely will be living alone,... so expect that the box truck and most all my belongings will be stolen when I go to town for supplies.  That has happened most every time so far.

Wish I could find a friend that would be willing to live near enough that they can watch over my stuff while I build up.

I am presently gathering signatures in a very wealthy neighborhood.  I am surprised how many people are indicating an interest in helping with the sanctuaries. 

Even though we do not have any discussion about the sanctuaries here,... I still present the idea to many while doing the petitions,... and might get some help from these folks even though they have no real need themselves.  Many here actually care about others and would likely come out to a nearby sanctuary to help out on weekends and hollidays.

I do still suggest to them to come here to discuss the issues related to designing a sanctuary and have learned a lot from the people that are willing to discuss the issue.

I would still rather have the people in need help develop the sanctuaries but will likely have to go with those willing over those that wont discuss it.

I would also rather start the sanctuaries somewhere further from the big city,... so I am likely to go out and about to the smaller communities where animals are still allowed to live and see if I can get some help with a startup.

If not,... I am still interested in going to Ohio,... because I can help Dennis Kucinich with his campaign for President if he is still interested.  This will include organizing his campaign and helping bring it to the Internet so he can get off to a better start.

Supporting Kucinich should provide reasonable income to support a start up sanctuary there (which should help him get elected,... going green).  Hopefully Carol will help out.  Although I still do not know how she feels about Kucinich,.... and hope helping him is not offensive to her.

That is about it,... struggling to rebuild after a year without income.  Fixing my car up to sell it,... get a better one or just being happy with the box truck. 

Still trying to escape from here at the body shop.  The people here do what they can to block my efforts,.... however, John has been easier on me and so I do have a chance.  Still have not found a place to go where I can be surrounded by friends that help me build up.

Perhaps I might find someone that will be kind to me in exchange for me helping them out financially (when I have money,... I have friends?)  A friend in need is about the only friendship I usually get.

Will post more later as I rebuild my life.

For those that are interested,... the Marijuana petition will be coming out soon,... and they will be paying money for those willing to gather signatures for the petition.  You can gather signatures in California,... no matter what city or state you are from.  You do have to be a US Citizen though.  Non citizens can work with a citizen if they want to help.

Anyone interested should post an interest and even send me a network message so I can get their address and phone number.  It will happen fast, but they need a million plus signatures,.... so it might last a month or so.  It will be easy money,... and you can travel the state gathering signatures and it is like a paid vacation.

Any of the petititions here are like having a paid vacation.  You gather the signatures,... send them to the cordinator,... the cordinator deposits money in your account,... you get the money from your account anywhere there is an ATM.

Let me know if you are interested.

If anyone is interested in traveling with me gathering signatures,... I really do need someone to drive a car or the box truck, and enjoy the adventure of finding a place to start a sanctuary.

Write if interested.

My paid vacation is about to begin.  I get paid to gather signatures on 'real' petitions.  These are petitions that will be on the ballot for a vote.

The California petition season is just begining and we are just getting the second and third petition to work on.  Each petition pays for gathering the signatures,... so with one I get paid once,... two I get paid double,... three I make more,... and 15 petitions are just incredible money.

So I tend to get a motorhome or other vehicle to go to the small towns to gather the signatures.  I send in the signatures,  They deposit money in my account.  I use my ATM card to get the money. 

It is like a paid vacation.  We can go most anywhere in CA to gather the signatures,... so I have been wanting to explore Northern CA, like the Humbolt County area,... so am planning to get on the road soon.

If you would like to join my travels,... earn yourself a paid vacation,... I can help you get a motorhome to live in as we go galavanting around the state.

Or you can use some of the money to motel it,... sleep in the national parks,... the choices are nearly endless.
