If you’re not a millionaire when you get to Congress, you will be soon.
It’s one of the things people hate most about Washington: a corrupt culture that enables politicians to trade public office for private gain. They get rich; we get the bill.
A new report paints an even more disturbing picture. A group of GOP senators allegedly used inside information about the threat posed by coronavirus to pull their own money out of the stock market—all while assuring their constituents the outbreak was under control.
That’s not just outrageous, it’s illegal.
The STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act prohibits members of Congress from engaging in insider trading. But any law is useless unless we enforce it.
Join us in urging Cory Gardner to call for the immediate enforcement of the STOCK Act.
This is a serious offense. Lawmakers who betray their oath and profit from this pandemic should face prosecution.
That won’t happen until voters—and senators like Cory Gardner—demand it.
Gardner voted for the STOCK Act.
Sign our petition to enforce it.
