This is what I have come up with so far for a letter that can either go on a petition or can be sent directly to the oil companies. ========================================================= The recent terrorist attacks on the U.S. and subsequent lack of support from mideast countries in tracking down these terrorists must make us rethink the importance of cheap oil. Countries who support or sponsor terrorist activities or who will not take steps to eradicate these activities, pose a threat to the lives and livelihood of civilized nations. Further, when we develop trade relationships with countries who support the oppression and abuse of their own citizens, we are further sacrificing our own values and integrity for our own personal gain. At some point, the non-dollar costs of dealing with oppressive governments who give explicit or tacit support to terrorists activities, outweigh the benefit of cheaper oil products. With that in mind, I will be looking to purchase petroleum products that are explicitely free of middle east origin. I will send this letter to each of the oil companies who supplies products to the U.S. consumer market and make it clear that whichever oil company offers petroleum products that have no content which is of middle eastern origin, will get all of my business. This is not a boycott. It is an incentive for the oil companies to recognize the other factors that are going through their customers minds while looking to spend their dollars. Perhaps the answer is for the oil companies to raise prices to compensate for the decreased supply. Or perhaps it is an opportunity for the oil companies to pursue supplies from countries who have less oppressive governments and who do not sponsor or support terrorists and their activities. Either way, there is a market for the oil companies to exploit. That of the consumer who no longer wants to provide the trade dollars that fund abuse to women, abuse to other racial, religious and ethnic groups or that end up in the pockets of the people who are threatening our way of life as well our physical well being.
