Creating yet another organization to "protest" and whine about a problem instead of fixing it is of no value.

1) Use less gas yourself, to reduce demand.
2) Work to get more refineries allowed to be built.
3) Work to get the U.S. back on the gold standard so the bastards can't devalue the dollar every time they want to spend another shitload of money they don't have.
4) Work to get us out of the wars in the Middle East, both because that affects the prices directly and also because paying for that shit is why they're printing money like crazy right now driving up the prices of *everything*.

5) Other than that, just get used to higher prices because worldwide demand is going up and not stopping. I guess if you agitated for the government to nuke China and India back to the Stone Age that would help a lot.
