Hopefully not a RP: Oil Companies and Terrorism Support

[Wheezer]

This was e-mailed to me from a friend of mine who had it forwarded to her. I did a search and found nothing so I thought I would post this for anyone who might be interested.

Saudis held a telethon in April 2002 to collect money to pay families of those that commit suicide bombings to become martyrs. They collected $92 MILLION!

Want to send a message back to them? Read on and do a simple little thing each day:

Where to buy gasoline and not support terrorism actually is food for thought. Buy from the gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis [Middle Eastern].
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from.

Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01).
Shell............... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco.......144,332,000
Exxon/Mobil..........130,082,000
Marathon.............117,740,000
Amoco................62,231,000

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to almost $20 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Citgo...........0 barrels
Sunoco........0
Conoco........0
Sinclair........0
BP/Phillips..0

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can
be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state
where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on
a monthly basis.

Keep this list in your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism.
