Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
Silver market analyst Ted Butler today alerted us all that the close of business tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12, is the deadline for submitting comment to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in regard to enforcement of position limits in the futures markets. The CFTC is encouraging submission of comments by e-mail to this address:
energyhearingcomments@cftc.gov [1]
The CFTC's press release about submitting comments can be found here:
http://www.cftc.gov/newsroom/commentprocedureinstructions.html [2]
GATA urges U.S. citizens to send a brief note to the CFTC at the e-mail address above, urging the commission to heed the comments sent to the commission by Butler and GATA board member Adrian Douglas.
Butler's comments can be found here:

Douglas' comments may be found here:

Just a short note will do. Urge the CFTC to heed Butler and Douglas, include the Internet links to their comments, and sign your note with your full name, postal address, and telephone number, so the commission can see that you're for real. You can make a difference!
