I received this from a friend. Given the constant increase in gas prices, the sounds like a good idea. I'm tired of being ripped off by the oil companies.

All the Canadians PLEASE forward this to all the
Americans in your address book.
Don't pump gas on May 15th
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted
nationwide in protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, we ask that all internet members not
go to a gas station in protest of
high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in a lot
of places.
There are 9,000,000+ American members currently on all
the internet networks, and the
average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.
If all internet user members did not go to the pump on
the 15th, it would take
$2,700,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil
companies pockets for just one day,
so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and
lets try to put a dent in the
Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) repost
this bulletin repost it with
