John,
Across the country, Americans are feeling the pain at the gas pump. All the while, Big Oil rakes in RECORD profits.
Big Oil won’t regulate themselves, which means the Federal government needs to take action to combat rising prices. That’s why Democrats in Congress introduced the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act to give the Federal Trade Commission the ability to crack down on Big Oil’s price gouging.
The bill passed by a narrow margin thanks to Democrats in the House — but every single Republican voted no.1 Now the bill moves to the Senate, where Republican Senators are all almost certain to vote no, unless we take action now.
John, rising gas prices aren’t a result of inflation — they’re the result of corporate greed. If Big Oil corporations were raising prices in line with inflation, they wouldn't be earning record profits.
And when it comes to fighting price gouging, Americans are in agreement: Democratic and Republican voters alike overwhelmingly support the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act.2
But every House Republican voted against the bill that would combat price gouging by oil and gas companies and help Americans at the pump. This bill will face an even more uphill battle when it goes to the Senate, which is why we need to build an enormous amount of public pressure.
Reining in corporate greed should not be a partisan issue. It’s time for Big Oil to pay their fair share for the burden they’ve put on working families, our communities, and the climate.
Thank you for being by our side in this fight,
