To whom it may concern:
The inflated and outrageous gasoline prices are helping to further bankrupt more Americans, even those that escaped foreclosure on their mortgages. I know, I'm one of them. My husband has to drive 100 miles a day here in rural Florida to his job as a corrections officer in the Alachua County Jail. We are going broke in a hurry, not able to afford a lot of the things we used to consider essential, like Iams dog food, like long distance phone service, like scheduled oil changes for our car. Last time gas went to $4.00 a gallon we maxed out all our credit cards to get by and no longer have them. Now, with the prices approaching that again, we have no more to give. The American people can only take so much and we are approaching the limit of our endurance. Stop the rich from making their millions on our backs!
I am writing you to demand that you impose and enforce the Wall Street Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Rules in order to reduce the cost of gasoline and energy for average American consumers like me. I am calling on you to regulate the speculation of oil futures and to in doing so reduce the price of energy for the American people.
Sincerely,
