Stop the Surge: Demand Fair & Affordable Power Bills!
I urge you to take action by:
1. **Investigating Utility Pricing** – Ensuring power companies are held accountable for fair pricing and transparency.
2. **Advocating for Rate Caps or Relief Programs** – Introducing measures to cap excessive energy costs and expand financial assistance programs for low-income households.
Our community cannot continue to bear this financial strain. We need strong leadership to fight for fair and affordable power bills.
Why is this important?
People should sign this petition because **skyrocketing power bills are pushing families to the brink**, making it harder to afford basic necessities like rent, food, and healthcare. Here’s why this issue matters and why their support is crucial:
**1. Unfairly High Costs**
Many households are paying **as much for electricity as they do for rent**, especially in low-income communities. This is unsustainable and unjust.
**2. Lack of Transparency & Accountability**
Utility companies continue to raise rates with **little explanation**, while customers have no choice but to pay or risk disconnection. We need oversight to ensure fair pricing.
**3. Protecting Vulnerable Communities**
Seniors on fixed incomes, low-income families, and hardworking individuals shouldn’t have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table.
**4. Demand for Government Action**
Our elected officials must step in to **investigate price hikes**, push for **rate caps**, and expand **relief programs** for struggling households.
**5. Strength in Numbers = Real Change**
When enough people sign, we can **demand action from lawmakers** and utility companies to lower costs and ensure energy remains affordable for all.
By signing this petition, people **join the fight for fairness, accountability, and relief from crushing power bills
