First Steps

I have taken the first steps. I have e-mailed all of my congresspersons the following e-mail:

Yesterday oil prices declined to $92 per barrel. A little research has indicated that the last time the oil price was that low the average price per gallon of regular gasoline nationwide was $2.699. Gasoline prices now are far higher than that.

Now to the meat of my question, this fact alone indicates that the oil companies are engaging in price gouging. For some reason when the price of oil goes up, the price of gasoline rapidly goes up but when the price of oil descends, it is never matched by a matched decrease in gasoline prices. Will you insist that the oil companies be legally pursued for these unfair, predatory and inequitable business practices?

We will see how and if they respond. If they do respond, I will post their responses here. Now it is your turn. I need you to send a similar message to your congress-persons. If we make enough noise, perhaps they will stop ignoring us.
