Hi John,
Your help is urgently needed! Today, a bipartisan group of House members has introduced the Restore Trust in Congress Act, which bans lawmakers from trading individual stocks.
Tell your member of Congress to become a co-sponsor of this bill and make a public statement about it. There is only a limited time for your representative to get on board. Take action NOW to make sure your voice is heard.
The bill, sponsored by Representatives Chip Roy (R-TX) and Seth Magaziner (D-RI), would require lawmakers, their spouses, and dependent children to sell all individual stocks within 180 days or face a fine equivalent to 10% of the value of the stock.
This commonsense legislation has significant bipartisan support and would mean that members of Congress would no longer be able to use knowledge gained from their work in Congress to personally profit on the stock market.
The bill marks the most serious bipartisan attempt in years to end Congressional stock trading. We can get it passed if we put pressure on Congress RIGHT NOW!
