Jack, sign the petition: Members of Congress should not own or trade individual stock.

SIGN THE PETITION
The COVID pandemic turned out to be a financial opportunity for lawmakers like former Sen. David Perdue and former Rep. Kelly Loeffler–who made millions by using non-public information only granted to Congress to trade stocks.

And this unethical practice continues. At least fifteen Congress members with a hand molding defense policy invest in military contractors. Congress members in key roles shaping energy policy own stocks in fossil fuel corporations.

Congress receives insider information that makes trading stocks a conflict of interest–it is unethical and skews who Congress serves.

Sign the petition: Members of Congress should not own or trade individual stock.

SIGN THE PETITION
It’s time to address this by prohibiting politicians from using non-public information to personally benefit in the stock market. The Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from abusing their positions for personal financial gain by owning or trading securities, commodities, or futures.

Congress must restore public trust and ensure that our elected officials remain focused on the nation's welfare, not their stock portfolios.

Sign the petition: Members of Congress should not be allowed to own or trade individual stock.

SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
