A buddy of mine sent this to me today. I think it makes a pretty good point. Instead of sending out usless emails I thought I'd post this in forums that were related to the issue. Anyway, take a quick read and see what you think.
Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money
into
the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that
don't
import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating
than the
feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my
money to people
who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I
thought it might be
interesting for you to know which oil companies are
the best to buy gas
from.
Major companies that import Middle
Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00
-
8/31/01).
Shell................ 205,742,000
barrels
Chevron/Texaco....... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon
/Mobil......... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon............. 117,740,000
barrels
Amoco................ 62,231,000 barrels
If you do the
math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION!
Here
are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo
0 barrels
Sunoco 0 ! barrels
Conoco 0 barrels
Sinclair 0
barrels
BP/Phillips 0 barrels
Hess 0 barrels
All of this
information is available from the Department of Energy and
can be easily
documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required
to state
where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They
report on
a monthly basis.
Keep this list in your car; share it with friends.
Stop paying for
terrorism.............
But to have an impact, we
need to reach literally millions of gas
buyers. It's really simple
to do!!
Now, don't wimp out at this point...keep reading and I'll
explain how
simple it is to reach millions of people!! .
I'm
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 ex cited 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!!! .
