Do you trust your elected officials, John?

It seems so simple: The people we send to Congress should have our backs.
Voters should be able to trust that our elected officials have our best
interests at heart.

But right now, poll after poll shows the trust just isn’t there.^1

One major reason why is that we continue to allow members of Congress to
trade stocks while in office – with little oversight and accountability.
Until our elected officials get serious about cracking down on real or
perceived conflicts of interest, the crisis of confidence will only get
worse.

That’s why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Ending Trading and
Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act to address this serious
conflict of interest.

The ETHICS Act would:

* prohibit members of Congress and their families from owning or trading
stocks.
* include financial penalties for continuing to hold or trade covered
assets.
* take us one step closer to restoring public faith in Congress.

A recent poll found that 70% of voters believe that members of Congress
should not be permitted to trade individual stocks.^2 Passing the ETHICS
Act is a no-brainer.

to crack down on corruption and put an end to conflicts of interest.

Thanks for speaking out,
