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, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high 
gas prices. Gas is almost $3.00 a gallon and over in most places. There are 73,000,000+ 
American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 
30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,292,000,000.00 (that's 
almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companys 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 wouldnt) 

Feel free to resend this to all on your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
