President Bush and his Fed allowed the large banks to participate in commodities markets. Banks are now able to own and hold commodities such as gasoline, oil supplies of metals, etc. This allows banks to hold these supplies and profit from price manipulation that may occur. Despite lower demand and larger supplies oil prices have not decreased. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has called for investigations into the manipulation of the price of oil and other commodities but he needs our help. Sign the petition so we can get this out into the light. Get the banks OUT of the the Commodities markets!
