URGENT! PUT A STOP TO RECKLESS OIL SPECULATION
Dear S.O.S. Now Supporter,
On Wednesday and Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives will debate a bill to prevent reckless speculation in the energy markets. Even if you already have contacted Congress, please e-mail them again today to ask your member of Congress to support the newly introduced Stupak-DeLauro Amendment, which will add additional consumer protections to this important legislation.
Reckless speculation artificially raises the price of gasoline, diesel fuel, natural gas and heating oil. Unless Congress acts now, higher energy prices will devastate our country's fragile economy. Today, you can demand that Congress prevent the manipulation of energy markets.
Before the week is over, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 4173, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009. This legislation, including an amendment by Representatives Bart Stupak of Michigan and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, will increase transparency and close known loopholes in the regulation of commodities futures markets.
Please take a quick moment to urge your member of Congress to vote for H.R. 4173 with the addition of the Stupak-DeLauro Amendment. Your e-mail could influence their vote.
Together, we can help protect America's economic recovery.
Thank you,
The Coalition to Stop Oil Speculation Now |
