John,

Did you know that members of Congress can use their position to influence
the stock market, and then make trades based on that influence? A 2022 New
York Times report found that 97 members of Congress reported making stock
trades in companies influenced by their committees.

Yep, you read that right: many members of Congress have the power to
leverage their position as lawmakers to gain an unfair advantage in the
stock market, and penalties against insider trading are rarely enforced.

Whether it’s former Congressman Santos or Senator Manendez, politicians
from across the political spectrum are profiting off of our broken
political system. It’s a bipartisan problem in need of a nonpartisan
solution. But with Congress refusing to take action on systemic
corruption, the solution has to start with us.

Here are two things you can do:

* [ [link removed] ]Join us in telling your legislator to Ban Congressional Stock
Trading.

* [ [link removed] ]Donate now and your gift will be doubled by a generous match – it
will go TWICE as far in the fight against corruption.

RepresentUS has a proven plan, and we’re fighting back. We’re actively
pushing for the passage of the Ending Trading and Holdings in
Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act to ban members of Congress and their
families from trading securities, while also collaborating with partners
on the ground to enhance campaign finance laws and impose strict limits on
special interest group funding nationwide. We’re also continuing to fight
for common-sense reforms—including our recent victory banning foreign
campaign spending in Maine elections.

This problem is so much bigger than any one politician. And what we’re
able to raise this month determines how hard we can fight to fix our
broken system in 2024. 

[ [link removed] ]It's up to all of us to get politicians working for the people and not
for monetary gain—and with your help, we will.
