PUT A PRICE CAP ON OIL / GAS ! ! !

Target:

ANYONE WILLING TO SIGN

Sponsored by:

This petition is going to be sent to all of the US Representatives and US Senators that represent the people signing this petition. We need to do something about these gas prices. They are averaging (as of 4/25/2008) $3.60 a gallon. The price is over $4.00 in some parts of the country! I'm not going to sit here and say that we need to boycott stations or companies. That will not work. However, the US Congress has the power to pretty much do whatever they want. We need to tell them that they need to put a cap on prices. What are the oil companies going to do, stop selling gas in the United States? I don't think so. As one of major consumers of gas and oil in the world, they could not afford to lose us as customers. A lot of our Congressmen get special interest money from a lot of these companies. And the one thing keeping them in their position is our vote. Remember, they are our representatives! They are there to do our bidding, not just theirs! I am proposing that we cap prices at $3.50 a gallon nationwide. If our representatives don't enact some type of capping on gas and oil prices, then we need to vote them out! One person doesn't have that strong of a voice. However, if just a 1,000 sign the petition in the 5th Congressional Disctrict here in PA (my home district), that is a significant portion of citizens. Any representative that does not vote to do something on the national level, I will actively support anyone that runs against them. And I urge you to do the same. So please sign this petition to show OUR representatives that we mean business!

Something needs to be done about these rediculous prices, low income workers can not afford to get to work or feed their families with gas prices so high.

We are a family of three and when we are working which we arent, myself and my Fiance have lost our jobs because of the gas prices, we worked for a transportation service who had to close down because they couldnt make any money because the gas is rediculiously high, so we all lost our jobs and a fine young single mother who had been in business for almost 14 years has had to face bankrupsy, something has to give. I am most certain that the elected officials can afford to go to the grocery store and buy gas, why cant we?

Gas executives should have trouble sleeping at night after the hardships they're placing on the average consumer. It's also vested interest when so many of our leaders have stock in oil companies. No wonder they're in no hurry to put a cap on gas prices. Bush and Cheney will leave office as the richest President and Vice President ever. In Cheney's case, it's easy to understand the term "Vice".

we have a war on terror, People are losing jobs and homes and it all started with the price of oil going up. Oil companys are doing they're part to add terror here in the states. Why are we not fighting them? The price of gas could be cut by 50% and the oil company's would still make Billions.

What the Oil companies are doing to blatant price gouging. It is ridiculous that they are getting away with it.

Gas is now an astonishing $3.60 a gallon here and growing day to day. And to make it worse I am college student who lives almost 300 miles from home and I can�t go home more than once every two months because a round trip costs over $80, which is 4/5 of my monthly budget. Please keep the prices from rising any higher.
