Please move forward without incorporating the misguided rants of Senator Bill Nelson and his ill-informed followers. Free trade is a cornerstone of the economy. Speculators should be allowed to buy and sell futures to assist in clearing the market.
It is sad that Senator Nelson and the New York Times don't recognize the value of allowing open trading in these futures. Further regulation and restriction is more apt to harm the economy. I appreciate your calling to uphold the principles that have made this country great. I hope that you will carry out your responsibilities without feeling hampered by the attempts to make you feel guilty for doing what is right. Thank you for your diligence and commitment.
