action to teach them that

> With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to
take action.

someone in the

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.

from the two biggest

prices.

suit.

reading and I'll explain how

PEOPLE!!!
