Affect Your Cause

About Me

Our Mission:

The Affect Your Cause team believes High Gas Prices are a major cause of financial suffering today. The wide ranging effects that skyrocketing fuel prices have on everything from personal transportation to food costs and home utilities are an unnecessary burden.

Our goal for this petition against high gas prices is to secure at least 250,000 signatures which we will submit to multiple government and big business interests.

We will be demanding tighter controls to prevent profiteering on this essential commodity as well as expedited action and much greater support for increased fuel efficiency & alternative fuel products.
