John —
Members of Congress – both Democrats and Republicans – are making a
killing in the stock market.
How much trading makes you a “killing,” you ask? Try a BILLION DOLLARS in
trades.
You read that right: many of the very same people making decisions that
impact the value of their stocks are reaping profits. Does this seem like
a massive conflict of interest? It is.

There's a way to stop it. RepresentUs is teaming up with Unusual Whales to
demand Congress to pass the ETHICS (Ending Trading and Holdings in
Congressional Stocks) Act. A bipartisan bill, the ETHICS Act would
prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent minors from
owning or trading securities, commodities, or futures.
86% of Americans (including 88% of Democrats and 87% of Republicans)
support a ban on individual stock trading by members of Congress.
This extraordinary support across party lines stems from the glaring truth
that the people making decisions about subsidies, tax breaks, military
interventions, environmental regulations, and countless others things that
impact stock prices SHOULDN’T BE MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT.

Together, we’ll increase transparency in Congress and help voters trust
that the people they elected actually have their best interests at heart.
