COLORADO SPRINGS , CO - Jeff Crank, Republican candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 5^th Congressional District, tomorrow will give out free $10 gas cards and an ear of corn to the first 30 people who arrive at a public press event.

“Americans are increasingly getting squeezed by higher prices for gas and food,” said Crank. “Federal government policy is making this competition between food and fuel worse than it needs to be.  Tomorrow I will propose a simple plan to lessen this unnecessary food versus fuel tension.  We need to lessen the burden on the American people.”

The Crank Campaign will host the press conference at the corner of Montebello and Academy, just one block north or Austin Bluffs and Academy near the Diamond Shamrock gas station. The event will be held from 10:30-11:30 a.m.
