- recipient: All of the American People everywhere in the United States.
Please boycott Exxon oil and gas. Please make every effort to buy your gas and other products from other companies who have choosen to be more responcible in thier dealings with lives both human and animal. You can make a HUGE difference just by not going to thier gas stations anymore. please read on....
Twenty years ago Exxon's drunken Captian caused an oil spill in Alaska. Millions of animals and fish and otters and whales and many other forms of life were wiped from the face of the Earth. Millions more died in the years to come afterwards.
Exxon PROMISED that it would make it right, that it would clean it up, and that it would make restitution to the 32,000 people who were affected by the spill. They lied.
The courts awarded 5 billion dollars be paid in damages and instead of making good on its word, Exxon went to court. They fought the ruling for years, delaying payments for affected families and the enviroment until most people couldnt hold on any longer. A trick that big money knows well how to play. People went bankrupt, lost everything they ever had, thier homes, thier boats, thier ways of life all gone. Some even lost thier lives, and others killed themselves as a result of what happened.
And all along Exxon did nothing. They hired experts and lawyers to go in front of judges time after time to tell them more lies about how things were great back in Prince William Sound Alaska. And since Exxon was able to hire the best, the court ruled that they only had to pay $500 million to those lives that were destroyed. All of this while Exxon sat on record profits !!!
Your whole family, your home lost, your boat gone, your whole way of life handed down father to son for many generations gone over night. And Exxon told to pay each family $156,250. What would you do if that were your family ?? And after waiting 19 years for the money, what would you do if the court came along and said "Exxon, you can lower that to $15,625 for every family you destroyed" ???
In your heart, you know this is wrong. In your heart, you know that the good guy rarely wins in this world of corruption and greed. But today, you can make a difference.
Hurt them in the wallet. I am asking EVERY American who reads this to stop buying oil or gas from Exxon gas stations. And not only you who read this, but your friends and families. If you read this and sign it, its up to you to pass the torch as it were. Tell everyone this story, make them feel rage against those who have everything and how they have treated those who they destroyed.
And not just one day, but every day. I am sorry if its convient to stop there on the way to work. But does that extra minute justify the trade off of doing whats right in life. So many of you sit in church week after week and hear these lessons, now is the time to act on one of them.
Boycott Exxon gas. Take millions out of thier pocket and I promise, they will listen then. Do this for the future of this planet also. For you know if this is news today, it will be news tommarrow to a company who does business this way.
Please, take a look at this pisture. Just look at it. Buy gas at Exxon and thats what you support. Stop buying ANYTHING from them. Now.
Thank you for reading, and signing. And for doing what you know is right inside you each and every time you drive down the road.
