what YOU can do to stop terrorism
Faster than the Army, FBI, or CIA.
21% of our oil is imported from the middle east.
The middle east is a region of religious fundamentalism, and religious intolerance, which in turn, ultimately produces extremism. These countries do not support the ideals of religious freedom upon which this country was founded.
Through our consumption, you and I support these countries every time we fill our tank at the pump.
Here is what you can do.
Make a commitment to immediately reduce your personal consumption at the pump by 20%. Develop strategies for carpooling (even once a week would do it), using your most fuel efficient car at all possible times, simply driving less, etc. (This goal is highly attainable. Recently, Californians were asked to reduce energy usage by 20%, and almost overnight an energy shortage transformed into a surplus.)
Send this email to all of your friends, ask them to consider doing so as well, and to please forward this to all of their friends.
Next, email Congress and let them know what you are doing and why. (Find your senator here: senate.gov ) You, the American consumer, are reducing your personal consumption by 20%, to eliminate the need to import oil from the middle east with certain demands.
You will continue to reduce your consumption until all those involved in the recent terrorist acts in the US are captured and brought to justice, and until all oil supplying governments in the middle east make commitments to eliminate international terrorism.
Meanwhile, with the money you save, support the American economy, and go buy something made in the US. |
