Dear Friends, Please sign, below, asking Europe to divest their country's practice of buying Russian oil! It won't start World War III, but It surely will raise the cost of gasoline in their countries. In ours, it will add a couple of percentage points to the cost of buying gas, an already expensive commodity. I remember as a very young child, my father was too old to be a soldier, but my parents bought war bonds and put older pots and pans and other metal objects out at the curb. These things would be collected to support the war effort. Obviously, Americans had other sacrifices concerning what we could buy. We need to support Ukraine's sacrifices-they are currently at the front line of Putin's ambitions, giving their all. Just clicking on this notice to Europeans is a small thing to do.
