Imperial Oil announces first-quarter financial and operating results
   CALGARY, May 2 /CNW/ - Imperial Oil today announced net income for
the first quarter of 2006 of $591 million or $1.78 a share, versus $393
million or
$1.12 a share for the same period last year.

Now on to the message.....please read on

Join the resistance!!!! Do it now!

I hear we are going to hit close to $1.40 LITRE  by next summer and it
might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take
some intelligent, united action.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE
than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going
around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that
because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing
to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem
for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan
that can really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.00 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently  $1.10 PER LITRE  in my town. Now that
the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think
that the cost of a LITRE of gas is CHEAP at $99.5-$1.02.7, we need to
take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the
marketplace..not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to
take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come
down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their
gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How?

Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we
CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a
price war.

Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two
biggest companies which now are PETRO CANADA and ESSO.

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their
prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to
follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions
of  gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at
this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach
millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least
ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... And those 300 send it to at least ten more
(300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the
sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION
consumers.

If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends
each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one
level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all! (If
you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to
do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am so trust me on this one.) :-)

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to
ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't
think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we
can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that
we not buy from PETRO-CAN/ESSO  UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE
$0.88  RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK
