It’s time to fight back, time to stop the exploitive and predatory practices of the oil companies and their investment bank cronies. This winter, due to the price of heating oil, many of us will be making an obscene choice, heat or eat!
The whole world has been held hostage by greedy, oil rich countries, and their partners the big oil companies. This year these businesses have made more profits than any other companies or industry in all of history. And all of it at our expense! OPEC and the big oil companies think that we are helpless as they arrogantly continue to pick our pockets. They’re right about one thing; the price of oil is determined by supply and demand.
When we don’t consume oil it is immediately reflected in the price of oil, the price goes down. So let’s all take a few days off from driving and reduce that demand.
Starting on Sunday, August 17 let’s just stay home, walk, ride our bikes, canoe, whatever, but don’t get in your vehicles. Not using your car for a day in the summer is easier than not turning on your heat in the winter, so we need to start now. You can stock up on your milk, bread, beer and newspapers on Saturday, but on Sunday, none of us ride in our cars. That includes trucks and boats too. If you have to go somewhere,carpool.
It would be great to get everyone in a whole town to participate, but wouldn’t be awesome to have a whole state, a country, the whole globe, stay home on Sundays? Yes we can people, we can do this. Just send this text as an email (copy and paste) , or our url www.snoilnow.com to 10 people and have them send it to 10 more. Make sure that newspapers and web sites get a copy, send it to politicians, clergy, businesses, activists, students seniors, everyone. If you have friends abroad make sure that they get a copy. It’s important that this movement goes international. Write letters to the editor and put up posters. Organize! Then sit down with your family, friends and neighbors and plan and prepare for SNOIL. (Sunday No Oil.) Make a real dent in our oil consumption. And the price of oil and gas will go down! Supply and demand controls the market remember? If we’re serious and committed we can stop these predators from destroying our economy and impoverishing us.
