What can we do?

Posted March 5th, 2007 by Anonymous

Mr. Shames I wanted to thank you and your staff who work so hard to keep us informed.
This is my first visit to your web site.
Im born and raised in San Diego, third generation. I cant understand "WHY" or "HOW" the oil companys are allowed to openly pork us?
What about the Attorney General? is there a petition or grass roots style campaign to make some one stand up and investigate these phat [expletive deleted]? Its so sad we are so powerless. what can we do? besides ride our bikes? Cars are a evil neccessity.

thanks,

L

Lets start a Gas War

On May 7th, 2007 Anonymous (not verified) says:

There is a chain of emails out about making a consumer statement to a major gasoline distribution company. The email is for people to boycott EXXON MOBIL for gasoline purchases. By singling out one company, may cause them to lower their prices. This could bring about competition and may start a "GAS WAR". There is nothing else most of us can do but to organize. Pick the least expensive gasoline price available and keep you tank only half full. A larger gasoline inventory will also cause lower prices.

Let's get started. I live

Let's get started. I live in the country in Louisiana. We do no have public transportation. I am a teacher and have to drive into the city everyday to go to work. I am not going shopping and just playing around. This is my job. I drive a Nissan Quest minivan because I have three children. I pay 60 a week in gas. That is so out of my budget. This is putting a hardship on me. Groceries, my kids medicine or gas to go to work? I really do have to make that decision. Not to mention what my husband pays in gas to drive to his teaching job that is the opposite direciton from mine. Together we spend around $120 per week in gas. This is ridiculous. Last night I paid $3.16 for gas in rural louisiana.

Let's boycott!!!!! Tell me how to get started and I'll do my part in passing the word.
