SHUT R DOWN
THIS 4TH LET’S DECLARE OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM HIGH FUEL!!
I just put gas in my car, $4.23 a gallon and talk of $7 a gallon within 2 years. I really don’t believe that if we remain status quo that gas will ever go back down. We have received no help from our current President, either political parties or their Presidential candidates. Our U.S. Congress was so concerned they left early for the holiday weekend without making any decisions on the energy issues. Big Oil Companies, OPEC and the mid-east countries rub their hands together in glee as we middle class Americans watch our savings, our incomes, our quality of life and our futures disappear down the fuel tank.
So what do we do? Well we can stand here and wring our hands in despair waiting for someone to help us out or we can remove our heads from the Middle East sand or should I say fuel tank, stop breathing the fumes, get off the couch, turn off the T.V. and make a difference! As the politicians will say…Yes we can!
Here is what I have proposed we do.
Starting at midnight Thursday July 3rd we park our vehicles and pledge not to move them again until midnight Sunday July 6th. Can you imagine the effect it might have on our country and fuel prices if even 25-50% of U.S. citizens rebel and refuse to drive over a 3 day holiday weekend?
Yes, this may put a crimp in your plans and cause a little bit of personal sacrifice but if we do not try and make a difference, life as we know it will quickly disappear as fuel costs eat up more and more of what we have left to enjoy. One weekend is so little to ask. I believe if we stand strong and unite we can make a difference.
Stay home and spend time with your families and demand that your children stay home and spend time with you. Stress to them that it is their future in the balance here. Have back yard BBQs. Get to know your neighbors with a block party. Play games with your kids. Take the money you did not spend on gas and help the U.S. economy by spending it on American made products and American produced food. We keep hearing that we need and want CHANGE, then let’s get off our butts and make it happen. We middle class Americans are losing ground quickly and I believe it is our patriotic duty to unite for this cause and put some back bone back into our citizens. What better time to make a stand than on the anniversary of our independence? Our quality of life and independence is now at stake. I would like to see this quickly grow into a National movement that will see the citizens of the U.S.A. pledge to park their vehicles for one whole weekend every month and continue to do so till we see a drastic change in fuel costs. I truly believe that if enough of us make a stand you would see the bottom drop out of the oil speculations, reserves rise and prices drastically fall.
At this point in time we have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Please email this to everyone in your address book, post it on every blog and forum known to man. Send it to talk show web pages, and every source of media you have access to. Phone family and friends; discuss it with co-workers and neighbors. Make posters. It will take us all to make a difference. We have only 3 days to create a citizens non-violent revolution! I believe we can do it…yes we can!
