Hi,
Even as the price of gas per barrel is well below recent records, gas
prices remain high.^1 That's because oil and gas companies are gouging
consumers, and taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to rake in as much
profit as possible.
Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced a bill that cuts to the heart of the
problem: corporate profiteering. The Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax will
stop price gouging at the pumps by forcing oil and gas companies to share
their recording-breaking profits with consumers.^2 This can't wait, tell
your elected officials to pass this bill and stop gas price gouging.

Senator Elizabeth Warren's bill would take on price gouging. The Big Oil
Windfall Profits Tax would tax the big oil companies and also go a step
further: by using that revenue to give Americans a rebate to offset how
much soaring gas prices hit people's pocketbooks.
If oil and gas companies had their way, every major news event would
trigger unnecessary gas price hikes at the pumps, and squeeze new record
profits out of the hands of everyday Americans. We have to put a stop to
this.
