To whom it may concern:
I support the CFTC in passing a new set of rules that would limit speculation on 28 core markets, including crude oil, fuel oil, gasoline, and natural gas. Speculation limits are needed in order to reign in Wall Street speculators whose self-interest runs counter to the interests of the American people. If the CFTC's new rules can help to limit the widening gap between those who are vastly wealthy and those who barely make ends meet (or don't), that would be a significant contribution to the struggle for economic equity in this country.
Thank you.
