Excessive oil speculation is raising travel costs this holiday season. As you spend Thanksgiving with family and friends, please share with them your concerns about how oil speculation is affecting them. By educating everyone about this important issue, we can increase the likelihood of Congress acting soon before gasoline and heating costs rise any higher.
Please ask your family and friends to sign up for e-mail alerts, so they can join our efforts to keep energy prices affordable.
The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote sometime in December on H.R. 3795, the Over-the-Counter Derivatives Markets Act of 2009. This legislation will increase transparency, close loopholes and make it more difficult for Wall Street speculators to manipulate energy prices.
We need to encourage legislators to vote for this important measure, and to be successful we will need your help. During the week the House of Representatives votes on this bill, we will e-mail you to ask that you contact your member of Congress. This coordinated action by hundreds of thousands of supporters will make a big difference in building support for reform.
We recently redesigned our Web site, www.StopOilSpeculationNow.com, to help influence policymakers during this critical time in the legislative process. We encourage you to visit the site and to follow us on Facebook or Twitter to access up-to-date information on this issue. Finally, if you manage a Web site or blog, you can help educate the public about excessive oil speculation by adding one of our Web stickers to your site.
We appreciate your continued support. Together, we can help contribute to America's economic recovery.
Thank you,
The Coalition to Stop Oil Speculation Now |
