Dear Sirs:
Please read this email and do not just sent a form letter in return.
The People of our country are suffering because of your ineffective commission !
Although both Brent & West Texas crude oil prices continue to fall, Gasoline at the pumps around the nation still hover
around $3.40 to $3.55 per gallon ($3.55 unleaded regular, Stuart Florida)
Why are you letting this happen ? Senator Sanders from Vermont was on TV tonight on Cramer's Mad Money Show(Jim Cramer, cnbc)and
Stated that Your Entity was supposed to regulate speculation (involving margin trading) of crude oil futures.
He also said that 80% of the trading is done by a very few rich speculators, who are getting richer by the day.
Do you know that next to my mortgage, my health care bill and the price of food, the price of gasoline is literally stealing all of our discretionary income ???
We cannot afford to go out to dinner like we used to or even buy new cloths on a regular basis. Our family, like all Americans, is suffering from the "TAX"
that the price of gasoline is placing on us.
We, Like other Americans who used to be middle class, are struggling to put food on the table and keep our homes are often forced to put gasoline on our credit card
and to carry more debt each month just to drive our cars.
We also understand that SUPPLY IS UP and Demand is down from 2 years ago, so we, the consumer are not to blame for this price gouging at the pump!!!!!
Please enforce higher margins on Oil Future Trading Today! Listen to the voice of Americans, rather than the lobbyists for a change!!!
