Hi John,
While Pioneer Natural Resources and ExxonMobil were preparing to merge, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) uncovered illegal activity being perpetrated by Pioneer, the largest oil company in Texas. Pioneer was found to be colluding with OPEC, an oil conglomerate including Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, to keep prices sky-high.
In accordance with federal law, American oil companies are prohibited from engaging in price fixing or restricting competition.
Pioneer’s CEO, Scott Sheffield, multimillionaire and GOP mega-donor, was caught conspiring with Middle Eastern Oil Ministers to keep prices artificially high.
Thankfully, the FTC has taken swift action and dealt consequences to Pioneer Natural Resources. Scott Sheffield has been banned from working with Exxon in the future, and for the next five years, Exxon will be unable to appoint Pioneer executives. Additionally, the FTC has referred the case to the Department of Justice (DoJ) for potential criminal prosecution.
Sign our petition now and proclaim that we, the American people, demand that the DoJ investigate this case and prosecute American oil executives colluding with foreign agents to raise gas prices.
Thank you for taking action to prevent corruption.
