[FTCR] Bodman must stop oil barons from exporting heat oil to hike prices
Santa Monica, CA -- As Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman visits Massachusetts today, he should respond to yesterday's letter from the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) warning that oil producers' exporting of heating oil will cause unprecedented price spikes this winter if the Administration does not halt the exports. 1.5 billion more gallons of liquid heating products were exported in the first seven months of 2005 than during the same period in 2004.

2. Tell me about it.
It strikes me as going through the motions, like writing your freeper Congressperson to support progressive bill or vote against fascist legislation.

I guess they have to write a letter to * because OFFICIALLY and LEGALLY he is, like it or not, the President of the United States; and it wouldn't do much good sending the letter to Kerry or Gore.
