    Dear CFTC Commissioners,

    I am writing to express my support for your request for comments on KalshiEX LLC's Congressional Control Contracts. I believe these prediction markets offer valuable insights into live probabilities, reacting quickly to current events.

    Prediction markets are more than just tools for forecasting; they play a crucial role in correcting over-hyped news and media narratives. By gathering diverse views, they provide an "outside view" of events, helping people better understand our complex political climate.

    In today's information-saturated world, these markets offer rationality and evidence-based prediction, countering sensationalism and promoting a healthier understanding of politics. This benefits both market participants and the general public, fostering a more informed and engaged citizenry.

    I understand the importance of regulation to prevent misuse. As the CFTC evaluates KalshiEX LLC's Congressional Control Contracts, I encourage the Commission to recognize their potential for the public good and find a balance between innovation and protection.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Sincerely,

    [Your Name]
