Indivisibles,

Yesterday, we found out that after a closed-door briefing on the severity
of the COVID-19 crisis in January, several senators sold personal stock
holdings and even purchased stock in telework and pharmaceutical
companies.

That’s right. These senators -- including Richard Burr (R-NC) and Kelly
Loeffler (R-GA, one of our Payback Project targets) -- heard information
about the coronavirus threat that wasn’t publicly available, and instead
of working to protect their constituents, they worked to protect their
personal fortunes. [1]a screenshot of a tweet from Leah Greenberg that
reads: Republicans knew this was going to be bad. They cared enough to
protect themselves. They didn't care enough to protect you.

This is unacceptable. Our elected officials are supposed to use their
authority to represent their constituents’ interests and govern with
transparency, and put people over profits. But when NPR asked Burr’s
office for comment on these stock sales, a spokesperson simply replied,
“lol.” (That stands for “laughing out loud.”) 

Loeffler and Burr have made it clear that working people aren’t a priority
-- even during a crisis. They’re not fit to govern. And that’s what the
Payback Project is all about: sending them home.

back the Senate, put people over profits and support all of Indivisible’s
work.

These are uncertain times, and we don’t need our senators making it worse
by undermining trust in the government. But we can still accomplish a lot
by coming together. Thanks for sticking with us.

In solidarity,

Indivisible Team
