I urge you to curb excessive gambling in commodities markets like food
and oil.
Speculation imposes financial hardships on families around the
country. Sudden rises in gas and food prices force us to make
difficult decisions and sacrifices. Especially right now, with so many
families struggling, and unemployment barely beginning to decrease, we
cannot allow speculators to unduly affect our food and gas prices.
Please put in place effective position limits rules, and do not allow
them to be undermined by exemptions or exceptions, or allow Wall
Street gamblers to escape them.
Thank you for your consideration.
