A Call for a National Gasoline Boycott Sept. 22 and 23rd

Link
On a previous posting on Sept. 6th, I called for a National Gasoline Boycott on Sept. 22nd and 23rd to increase gasoline inventories, hopefully drive prices down and to send a message to companies like Chevron and Exxon that we are getting tired of their price gouging. Again I call for this boycott.

In a related post on Sept. 6th, I compared the Oil companies contributions to Katrina relief to that of average citizens. For example if a worker making $100,000/year were to make a contribution of similar size relative to their earnings, they would contribute only $1.94 to relief efforts. Their contributions in light of the tax breaks alone given to them in the much heralded Transportation Bill is pathetic and an insult to all of us who care. Chevron contributing only $5 million dollars ands Exxon contributing 7 Million is a disgrace to their employees, and the nation. Get with the program or all these tax breaks will be reversed.

Again, a National Gasoline boycott on Sept. 22nd and 23rd is most needed. Please promote the call to your friends and neighbors. I am giving up my driving for those 2 days.
