Please help to prevent market-driven artificial increases in the prices
of commodities that result in real cost increases for American consumers
for food and energy.
By imposing reasonable position limits on the buying/selling of futures
contracts, market prices for commodities will be more closely aligned
with actual demand -- instead of being driven to excessively high levels
that benefit only Wall Street insiders.
During this time of economic uncertainty, persistent unemployment and
rising prices, the American consumer needs a break!
Please take action to control futures trading practices that result
in artificially high prices that affect everyone from large enterprises
down to the average American household.
Sincerely,
- Lee Garner
