someone on Myspace decided to start a little protest on May 15th about gas prices, and since memebers on myspace are from all over, they had to come up with an idea that would allow everyone to take part.
i think this needs to be taken 1 step further.
frankly, i dont know about all of you, but im getting seriously disgusted at gas prices lately. im in school and playing a sport, so i dont have time for a job right now, but i do enjoy going to places and chilling out with friends. and its getting to the point that im not gonna be able to do that, just cause i cant afford the gas. the car im driving gets 13 miles per gallon, and it costs me $30 a week just to go to school and practice and games. THATS $120 A MONTH JUST FOR GOING THE NECCESSARY PLACES! thats complete bullshit, this is my senior year of high school, im supposed to be out enjoying myself and spending the little bit of time i have left with my friends before i need to leave for college. i cant really afford to keep doing it, so i for one will definetly be taking part in this protest.
i think that this little protest is not even enough to make the gas places have a second thought. so this needs to go bigger. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE YOU CAN, I WANT THIS TO BECOME A NATIONAL (OR INTERNATIONAL) THING. I DONT WANNA SEE A SINGLE CAR AT ANY GAS STATION GETTING ANYTHING MORE THAN COFFEE ON MAY 15TH. I WILL BE SPREADING THE WORD TO EVERYONE I KNOW, AS WELL AS ANNOUNCING IT TO MY SCHOOL. ANY TYPE OF PUBLICITY THIS PROTEST CAN GET WILL HELP.
Myspace said:On May 15th all myspace members are not going to go to the gas station in protest high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places. There are 72,110,073 members currently on the network, and the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up. If all myspace members did not go to the pump on the 15th it would take $2,163,302,190.00 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 oil industry for at least one day.
