Dear S.O.S. Now Supporter,

Congress will draft the final version of the financial and speculation reform legislation in the coming weeks. Please remind your representative and senators to support regular Americans - not wealthy executives on Wall Street - by stopping oil speculation now.

 

Big banks are spending millions of dollars to preserve the loopholes that they exploited to make billions of dollars. According to a recent report, Wall Street is using "a lobbying army that includes nearly 1,500 former federal employees and 73 former members of Congress." We cannot allow them to win.

 

Oil prices dropped 8 percent to the lowest level in 10 months on the day the Senate passed its version of financial reform. Speculators are fleeing the oil markets as fast as they can because they know that financial reform will mean the end of unjustified profits.

 

Congress now must reconcile the differences between the House and Senate versions of financial reform in order for the legislation to become law. Make sure that your representatives in Congress listen to you, not Wall Street lobbyists. Please take two minutes to remind your elected officials of the importance of stopping oil speculation now - before it is too late.

 

Two years ago this month, we began the battle to reform oil markets. With your support, the Coalition to Stop Oil Speculation Now has exposed Wall Street speculators, pushed the issue of oil speculation into the national limelight and passed speculation reform in both the House and the Senate. Now it is time to finish what we started.  Please contact Congress today.

 

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

 

Thank you,

 

The Coalition to Stop Oil Speculation Now
