John,
Trump tanked the stock market with a reckless tariff announcement, only to walk it back a week later and send stocks soaring. In between? Some members of Congress made moves that would make Wall Street proud.
One of them was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who dumped Treasury bills and dropped as much as $300,000 into stocks like Amazon, Tesla, and JPMorgan, right before the market rallied. The public deserves answers on what she knew, but more than that, we need laws to make this corruption illegal.
It’s time to rein in the corruption. Fortunately, a bipartisan coalition led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act, which would BAN members of Congress, their spouses, and dependents from trading individual stocks.
Let’s be clear: if this bill doesn’t pass, it’s because too many members of Congress want to keep the grift going. So help us make sure they hear loud and clear that the corruption stops here.
Tell Congress to pass the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act and ban congressional stock trading NOW.
This bill is even backed by Republicans like Josh Hawley and Cory Mills. Why? Because the American people are sick of the grift. Nearly 9 in 10 voters across party lines support a ban.
This is one of the few areas where the entire country agrees: Congress should regulate Wall Street, not profit from it.
If Congress wants to rebuild public trust, it can start by putting its money where its mouth is literally. Banning congressional stock trading isn’t radical. It’s just common sense. It’s also the first step toward cleaning up a political system that’s been rigged for the rich and powerful for far too long.
We have long led the charge against this blatant corruption. For years, we've fought to end the practice of members of Congress trading stocks while in office. Now, we're on the verge of a major victory, but we need your voice to push it over the finish line.
Send your message now and demand that Congress pass the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act.
Together, we can restore integrity to Congress.
