Representatives Mark S. Kirk and Robert E. Andrews will be presenting a bill which causes any company that provides Iran with gasoline or helps it import gasoline after the end of the year could lose its access to American customers through sanctions. This is an effort to put pressure on the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to construct more oil refineries.
I think this is a important bill, because it will force Iran to lessen its dependence on foregin oil will helping its economy. Although we shouldn't have to force a bill for them to realize this, because the people in the country are already rioting of the rising oil prices. All in all, I think this is the right approach but it shouldn't be forced upon the people of Iran, just merely suggested.

I agree that there should be penalties against those companies that support Iran by suppying them with oil. Those that do this have opposing views with the United States. Iran should make an effort to be more self-sufficient regarding oil production. I don't know that passing this bill would deter oil companies from providing Iran with oil because they tend to make a lot of money from it.
I agree that companies that support Iranian oil should be punished in some way. This contradicts their views with the their own nation. Iran needs to start being independent because they are taking away from the United States.
