Here's a web page that everyone should be able to appreciate - an appeal to the President (of the US) to defer increasing the percentage of Ethanol in Gasoline without appropriate research and impact analysis - in the form of a petition.
It has this verbiage, space to add your own comments and the option to compose your own message altogether (be careful, now - don't get too excited).
"Dear Mr. President:
I strongly urge you stop the Environmental Protection Agency from raising the amount of ethanol in our gasoline from today’s 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15) – a 50 percent increase. EPA should not act hastily on this issue. It should wait for the results of thorough and objective scientific testing on the impact of E15 on all gasoline-powered engines."

I will be including in my own message why the current Ethanol strategy is a failure from the contamination aspect as well as its impact on the production and price of foodstuffs because of the diversion to fuel.
