Check out the costs accumulating with the war.

Freedom comes at a big price.

Wow!

Just goes to show that the price of Freedom is not cheap. But worth every penny.

Instead we could find an alternative to fossil fuels and we would not give a crap about anyone over there to begin with. But that would really cut into the pockets of the politicians being lobbied by the big oil companies. Aint gonna happen soon.

Don't get me wrong, I support our troops, but there has been conflict in that region since recorded history and we are not going to end it any time soon. I don't know the answer, but getting off the oil would be a good start.

The cost of war is overwhelming and that is just counting the dollars, not the lives...
But just think what the cost of tyranny would be...

Passing it on, tell your friends….

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007

Don't pump gas on MAY 15th

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 now over $3.00 a gallon 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 companies 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 wouldn't) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
