Price fixing not only hurts our economy, it is destroying our wallets.

We, as consumers, are dedicated to educating the public about the egregious activity of manufacturer’s forcing retailers to fix prices on their products, so we consumers don’t get a better price, and our goal is to band together as a community and demand that corporations turn their focus back to consumers.

Price fixing is an agreement when manufacturers and/or retailers dictate the price at which a product can be sold vs. allowing companies to sell at a discounted price.

In general, it is an agreement intended to ultimately push the price of a product as high as possible, leading to profits for all the sellers. Price-fixing can also involve any agreement to fix, peg, discount, or stabilize prices. For the buyer, meanwhile, the practice results in a phenomenon similar to price gouging. The purpose is to coordinate pricing for mutual benefit at the expense of buyers. Sellers might agree to sell at a common target price; set a common "minimum" price; buy the product from a supplier at a specified "maximum" price; adhere to a price book or list price; engage in cooperative price advertising; standardize financial credit terms offered to purchasers; use uniform trade-in allowances; limit discounts.

Consumers and retailers from all
around the globe are constantly being
cheated and ripped off due to price fixing enforced by many corporations. We, therefore, the undersigned victims of price fixing, petition the U.S. Congress to act immediately to put an end to this outrageous act by passing Congress bill s.2261 Discount pricing consumer protection act.
