PROTEST HIGH GAS PRICES EVERY DAY!
Jun 14, 2008

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!'
