So, wish we were making this up:

Earlier this month, just days after a senators-only briefing on the emerging dangers of the coronavirus, a number of GOP senators sold hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars of their personal stocks in the face of the coming crisis. Among those senators was Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee Richard Burr.

This reeks of insider trading -- using information not yet available to the public to buy or sell on the stock market.

What's worse: They knew the economy was going to suffer. They knew American lives and livelihoods were at risk. And they capitalized on the privileges they hold as elected officials instead of taking action to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Our partners at Tax March put out this statement and video calling for Senator Burr's resignation. Can you watch it, then share it with three people?

Tweet: Instead of preparing doctors, nurses, and front-line responders for this crisis, these senators were preparing to make a profit in the stock market. They knew before everyone else but did only what served their financial interests. Our health care workers deserve better.

We must hold these senators accountable. Call your senator right now and tell them to demand Burr's resignation >> (202) 224-3121.

Let’s be clear: these senators were focused on lining their pockets while vulnerable communities across the country started to feel the impact of the global pandemic. That’s simply unacceptable.

More to come soon, and thanks for taking action --
