Remember when gas was over $4 a gallon? Remember the global food crisis that resulted in dozens of food riots around the world and plunged over 100 million people around the world into hunger?

These crises where not caused by shortages of oil or food. Instead they were caused by massive bets made on Wall Street. A large portion of the higher prices were brought on by the same thing that caused the global economic crisis - market deregulation. While we had to pay more for our gas and food, fat cat investors made a bundle. Luckily, we already know how we can avoid future gas and food bubbles. The answer is proven and cheap - all we need to do is say yes to it.

Watch this video and explore the rest of the site to learn more about how speculators brought about last year's food and oil bubbles. Most importantly, write to your members of Congress telling them to take action to avoid future bubbles. They need to know that this is important to you. Right now, they are only hearing from Wall Street.

Clearly, this seven minute video is a simplification of a complex issue, but it sums up the history behind and key problems brought on by the deregulation of commodity futures markets.

Please explore the site for more details about this important issue and then scroll down and click on Take Action. Thanks very much! :)
