McIntyre Backs Measure To Lower Gas Prices

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Mike McIntyre is supporting legislation to lower gas prices, put money into the pockets of Americans, and save taxpayer dollars.
Congressman McIntyre stated, “Gas is way too high! We must do all that we can to help provide relief to our citizens as we approach the summer months when demand increases and prices will likely continue to rise.

Congress targets gas gouging, oil cartels

By: Dave Pearson, State & National Editor
Issue date: 5/31/07 Section: State & National

Gas prices are a nationwide concern, even at the highest level. The U.S.
House passed two bills last week aimed at affecting the price consumers pay for gasoline.

Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., sponsored a bill titled The Federal Price Gouging Prevention Act, which allows the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and fine companies for charging exorbitantly high prices.

That worked really well didn’t it - the “High Prices” then were under $3 a gallon! We can’t afford him sponsoring more bills “affecting the price consumers pay for gasoline.”
