Victory! President Signs New Law to Stop Oil Speculation
We have achieved a great victory against Wall Street speculators. The nearly two million e-mails that you sent to Washington forced Congress to act. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed a new law to close loopholes, improve oversight and increase transparency in oil markets. We thank you for your unwavering commitment to stopping oil speculation now.

"It's my hope and expectation that new governance rules will bring more common sense to our financial markets and mitigate the risky behaviors and conflicts of interest that led to crippling our system."
