Stop Oil Speculation Now to Protect America's Economy 
Wall Street speculators drive up the price of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel by buying and selling oil with no intention of ever using it. The Stop Oil Speculation Now Coalition is working with organizations, companies and concerned Americans around the country to prevent the manipulation of energy markets and return prices to reasonable levels. Together we can protect America’s economic recovery.
What the Experts Say ...
"There is no question that speculation is playing a role in the rise in gas prices."
Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), United States House of Representatives, 03/17/2011
