Dear S.O.S. Now Supporter,

 

Wall Street lobbyists continue defending the rights of oil speculators - even as gasoline prices soar nationwide. Enough is enough. Help us fight back against wild speculation and reckless greed in the oil markets.

 

The government agency responsible for overseeing energy trading, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has proposed a new rule to limit rampant speculation. If adopted, this rule would limit risky trades and prevent big banks from dominating oil markets at your expense. This rule, in combination with Senate passage of financial reform legislation, will close loopholes and help return gas prices to reasonable levels. 

 

By law, this federal agency must consider public comments on the rule before it decides whether or not to implement. This means your e-mail has the power to influence Washington. Ask the CFTC to adopt this rule before energy prices rise any higher. Your comments will help stop oil speculation now and provide a great victory for consumers.

 

Wall Street lobbyists will do everything they can to prevent new oil trading rules. This is why we need you to take a moment to submit your comments in favor of the proposed rule. By working together, we can protect the economy from future fuel price bubbles and stop the fat cats and speculators from unfairly profiting during the worst recession in decades.

 

Stay informed about the latest developments by following us on Twitter. We also encourage you to share your concerns regarding high energy prices by commenting on our Facebook page.

 

Together, we can help protect America's economic recovery.

 

Thank you,

 

The Coalition to Stop Oil Speculation Now
