Here’s what loyal reader Max suggests:

“Had to sneak into South Carolina today in search of gasoline. Happened upon a service station near Greer. Guy in front of me was from Asheville and commented that his friend had placed a call to the NC governor’s office. Ask if the governor was taking any action to aid WNC in its gas crisis? Voice on the other end responded ” that is not a concern of the governor’s office, it is a commercial problem.” Pass this along, please. I believe we in the WNC need to bombard the governor’s office with phone calls, emails, and faxes to the point that the system locks up.

“To everyone in WNC, be nice to your neighbor during this shortage. It looks like we will have to look out for ourselves, and Let’s show Raleigh that you don’t piss off the folks in the west.”

So here’s how to do it:

Email Gov. Mike Easley here.

Call Gov. Mike Easley here: 1-800-662-7952 valid in North Carolina only or (919) 733-4240, or (919)733-5811.

Write Gov. Mike Easley here:

    Governor Michael F. Easley
    Office of the Governor
    20301 Mail Service Center

Raleigh, NC 27699-0301

Gov. Mike Easley’s contact page here.

Office of Gov. Mike Easley here.

No Gasoline in Western North Caorlina at all. City closing offices and Schools are closing.

To the Asheville Citizen-Times this might allegedly mean:

No Gas
No Travel
No Sales
No Revenue
More Advertising Bonuses
More Lay Offs
What? Did I read that right? LOL

LIMIT THE PURCHASE TO TEN GALLONS.

IF YOU WANT MORE, GO TO THE END OF THE LINE.

It is the only way to deal with this.
