Sorry, again couldn't think of an appropriate title. Brain=mush.

Here's something serious Something light And something positive you can do to feel a little more in control:
CAVEAT EMPTOR: I (Kid Sis) didn't write this, nor did I research it. Just trusting the Email Chain Letter Gods on this one. Please let me know if it's a hoax.

Gas rationing in the 80's worked, even though we grumbled about it, The Saudis are boycotting American goods. We should return the favor. An interesting thought is to boycott their gas. 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 Saudis.

Nothing is more frustrating than knowing every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill my family, my friend, and me. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern Oil:

SHELL-----------------------------205,742,000 BARRELS
CHEVRON / TEXACO---------------144,332,0000 BARRELS
EXXON / MOBIL---------------------130,082,000 BARRELS
MARATHON / SPEEDWAY--------------117,740,000 BARRELS
AMOCO------------------------------62,231,000 BARRELS

At $56.00 a barrel these imports amount to over $37 BILLION

HERE ARE COMPANIES TO BUY FROM
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
ARCO---------------------------------------0 BARRELS

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

However, to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It really is simple to do.....Now do not wimp out at this point...... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people | I am sending this note to thirty people. If each of you send it to at least Ten more (300x 10=3000)....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 onto ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted. It goes One level further, you guessed it.....THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.

If each of us sends this E-mail out to 10 people within one day, all 300 MILLION people could be contacted within eight days.

It's not that hard to find these gas stations. Just go to their websites and enter in your city's info under their locator page.
