AOA SISTERS

VERY IMPORTANT !!!!! dh recieved a text message on his cell phone saying it is national do not buy gas day to protest the high gas prices so i urge all of you to stand up against this highway robbery . as i was reading a post by another sister about saving money on gas i remembered that and sis kemi reminded me as well about it in that thread so thanks sis kemi way to go lets all do our part and boycott buying the gas on that day and tell anyone we know as well . in shaa Allah it will help alot of us have families and think of the money we can save to spend in ways of Allah swt if we can save some $$ on the gas . also i buy gas at sam's club dh told me about it and got me a membership there becuase we buy alot of things in bulk there and you can usually save 8 to 12 cents a gallon depending on where you live today at regular gas stations it was over 3.00 a gallon .

Salaams,

Sis, I hate to break it to you, but this isn't true :? http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasoline.asp tells that the email is just a rumor...I've actually seen the same email for the past few years ;)

Stacyg is correct, as this email as been making its rounds, and is INCORRECT, though it would be great if we had a national or even worldwide boycott, and the prices would come down..I remember when my son was born in 1996, the price of a gallon of unleaded was a whopping 89 cents...

Even if its not true. Its circling around like crazy. If all of us refrained from purchasing gas on May 15th it could still work. [hijabisis]

Assalmau alaikum,

I don't know how true this is or not. But the fact still remains we do need to take a stand. It definetly won't hurt and I sent the suggestion the paper. Maybe the will print it and maybe not. But the only failure in trying is not trying at all. :wink:

I think boycotting a certain company or something instead of boycotting a day might work better...If people don't buy gas on May 15th, then they'll just go the next day and sales will be even bigger than a regular day, right? But, if they boycott a company, you'll see that company start to lower the prices of gas to get more customers...what do you all think?

I agree serenity...we do need to take a stand...the prices of gas in the U.S. and many countries are really getting out of hand!

It was actually on the news here, on one of the Detroit channels (NBC 4). That people were actually doing this. We will not be. We run a taxi company. Our livelihoods depend on being able to drive.

aoa sisters

wether or not if its true or not . i still say with this going around and enough ppl do it then who knows maybe it will impact them . Allah aalam . just like if all musims united we would not have all the fitnah going around ? intresting isnt it

It was on the news here too, and they are right - boycotting one day isn't going to change anything. Everyone would just fuel up the day before or the day after so technically we would be spending the same amount on gas. They say the only real way to do this would be for everyone to collectively reduce the amount of gas they use. Walk, bike, or use public transportation or at least carpool as much as possible rather then driving everywhere.
