… It is NOW time for us to do something. The great thing about Americans is that we get up and fight when necessary. We don’t have the luxury of sitting and complaining anymore, it’s time to “do something about the rising gas and oil prices, and it is time to do it right now.”
As Americans, we can show the oil companies and politicians that WE can stem the rising oil problem, and we can have a surplus of gasoline in 30 days. Please take a moment to read this message, and how we /you can cause an immediate positive affect.
Oil prices are absolutely out of control and it will take 3 to 4 months for Middle East oil production to get high enough to help us out. In the meantime, we are likely to face oil costs that will rise from $140/barrel to $150/barrel and then to $200/barrel. It will kill our economy, kill jobs, and cause inflation that will substantially hurt all of us. Yesterday’s panic stock market selling showed the level of fear that investors are reaching by the “do nothing about the oil paralysis mentality” that is going on. Shares of General Motors Corp. plunged to their lowest price in more than 33 years.
Out of control gas and oil prices can be stopped within 30 days. In a moment, I will tell you how.
Last night, I emailed Vice President Cheney. I am waiting for a response, but I am sure that he and the White House are underestimating what we, as citizens, are willing to do.
The essence of my message to Vice President Cheney was the following:
“We can drop the amount of gasoline consumption in a flash and dramatically reduce our usage during the next four months by doing just one thing. We did it years ago, and I don't know why we are waiting so long to do it now. Now is the time, before we pay dearly in the coming days or weeks by waiting “too long”.
What's the answer? Car pooling. If we can get 3 people per car going to work in our big cities, it will take two cars off the road for every three cars … and we will have a gasoline surplus in less than 1 month." (For those who were not around to car pool almost 40 years ago, this is just about driving to and from work, you can still go to the grocery store, visit friends, and go places on your own.)
Don’t think it will work?
Consider the numbers:
1. According to the government’s population polls in 2006, there were 74,559,554 citizens living in the 200 largest U.S. cities. That does not count the surrounding cities everyone drives in from.
2. Assume that we car pool with 3 people per car: 1 driver and 2 passengers. Also assume that the average distance driven is 20 miles each way … assume that it takes 1 gallon of gas to get to work and 1 gallon of gas to get back home. That would save 29,541,423 gallons per day.
3. That would be a reduction in usage of 590,828,468 gallons per month, and 7,089,941,612 gallons per year. That’s right … over half a billion gallons per month, and 7 billion gallons per year.
The reality is that we would probably only have to do it for the next 3 to 4 months until oil production levels get cranked up.
What would happen?
We would probably have a surplus of gasoline in less than a month. Gas prices would plummet, you could take that vacation you cancelled because gas prices were too high, stock prices would stop plummeting, and the increasing rate of inflation would be curtailed by a large amount .. something Bernanke needs help on.
Who can make this happen now …
It is now up to “us,” you and I … each of us to individually make a reasonably small sacrifice during the next four months to stop this insidious problem that is spiraling out of control with no one willing to do anything about it, except talk about it and wave their fingers at each other.
We are Americans.
We are “doers”.
We don’t have to wait for our politicians to do too little, too late.
We need to do something now, and WE CAN … but only if YOU are willing.
My suggestion?
Let’s take the initiative as concerned Americans and push for mandated car pooling now. Let’s car pool for only 4 months and then reassess the situation. If we don’t, we will have a recession bad enough for you to never forget.
How do we get it mandated?
We call or email our Senators, Congressmen, and State Representatives. We tell them that we want to save 2.3 billion gallons of gas every four months by mandating car pooling in at least our largest 200 cities.
We call or email our local newspapers and TV stations and tell them the same. We each send this message out to 10 people, and ask them to do the same ... if we don't, nothing will happen. I will personally start by emailing over 10,000 people that know me right away. If each person sends this message to just 10 people the same day after receiving it, then in 4 days time, TEN MILLION people will have received this message and Washington will do something about it. In less than 10 days, we could have all this passed as an emergency response act.
Our politicians won’t do a thing without us telling them that we WANT them to do it. The reason is that this is a big political year and everyone is scared about doing the wrong thing that would upset their voters. I will be upset if they don’t do anything and you should be too.
Let’s tell them we are willing to meet this necessary challenge now, that we are willing to make the sacrifice to avert a problem that will mean much bigger sacrifices later.
Are you willing to take just 15 minutes out of your day to contact those who can make this happen?
I will even make it easy for you by providing you with all the email addresses of our Senators, Congressmen, and State Representatives. All you have to do is click on the email address and send them a message.
Make a decision now ... a decision that will affect the rest of this year, your finances, and the economy. Make a decision for your family, your job, your company, your friends, and your neighbors.
Please … make a decision now and let’s show our politicians that we do not have to wait for them while we continue to suffer economically and personally.
By acting in unison with our friends, workers, and fellow citizens, we have the power to change things … with an incredible magnitude of power that only few can imagine.
Sincerely,
Marty Chenard, President
