Subject: Help stop summer gas price gouging

Hi,

Can you face another summer where a day trip to the lake or the beach costs
you an arm and a leg? It's shaping up to be just that if we don't ask
Congress to stand up to Big Oil now.

But there is a bill in the House this week that could make gas price gouging
a federal crime, so we don't pay more while the oil companies rake in record
profits. I signed a petition to urge my representative to pass this bill
this week -- can you join me at the link below?

Thanks!
