    <title>Wrote a letter to Congress titled 'H.R.3784 Gas Price Spike Act of 2012'</title>

    <content type="html">
I am writing as your constituent in the 22nd Congressional district of New York.  I oppose H.R.3784 - Gas Price Spike Act of 2012, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.

In reading this bill, I have to ask : are House Democrats TRYING to propose the Randian nightmare that your opponents have been talking about for years? A &quot;Reasonable Profits Board&quot; is straight out of Atlas Shrugged, and completely ridiculous.

Here's the first clue: If the oil and gas companies are making so much profit that we have to ask if it's reasonable or not, why are we still subsidizing them?

Make that go away, and let them make whatever legitimate profits they want.    </content>
