As you may have heard on the news a few weeks ago, it was announced that strategic oil reserves would be released to drive down the price of gas at the pump. While this might be a reasonable first step to reign in out-of-control speculators, it now seems that that’s simply not enough. Prices have not, in fact, come down in many parts of the country and in others they have started to climb up again!

We need to continue to put pressure on our government to send the message that we’re not going to accept half-measures: we need to reign in out-of-control Wall Street oil speculators that are robbing us blind at the gas pump!

If you haven’t already done so, please remember to share this petition in your Facebook, Twitter, and via your e-mail to your friends and family to ask the Attorney General to launch a Grand Jury investigation on Wall Street speculators that are artificially driving up oil prices.  As Senator Sanders said it best:

There is mounting evidence that the sky-high price of gas has nothing to do with the fundamentals of supply and demand and everything to do with Wall Street speculators jacking up oil and gas prices in the energy futures market.

How are gas prices in your area? Are they still frozen high? Did they start to climb right back up again?
