Good morning FRiends. I wanted to share an email that I received this morning. Maybe you have seen it and maybe you havent't but I think it is worth looking at and I think if you agree you should ping all of your friends to it.

Have a Great day. Here is the email.

Subject: Gas

Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the
coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their
oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every
time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to
kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for
you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from.

Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00
-8/31/01).

Shell................ 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco....... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil......... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon............. 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco................ 62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo 0 barrels
Sunoco 0 barrels
Conoco 0 barrels
Sinclair 0 barrels
BP/Phillips 0 barrels
Hess 0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can
be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state
where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a
monthly basis.

Keep this list in your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for
terrorism.............

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers.

I hope my email posting was not too intrusive. If so I am sorry but i wanted to share that important note. If you feel it is not wanted in this thread please have it removed and let me know so that I do not make the same mistake in the future.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing that email about the gas companies....I thought it was going to be a "gas joke" but instead it is an interestng observation....

Thanks for the info, Mixer!

Yikes, Mixer! The cards I use are, of course, in that top group!
