If ConocoPhillips does not demonstrate greater respect for the the history and goodwill associated with the blue and orange 76 ball, we will be taking our business to other gas sellers. </p> <p>This petition is being launched on January 31, six days after ConocoPhillips posted fourth quarterly earnings of $3.7 Billion, and we call for a sincere response to our concerns before the announcement of their next second quarterly earnings. </p> <p>Sincerely, </p> <p>The Undersigned </p> http://www.savethe76ball.com/petition#comment 1967 conocophillips historic preservation nascar oil petition save the 76 ball signage Mon, 30 Jan 2006 20:37:03 -0800 kim 31 at http://www.savethe76ball.com
