John,

There are a lot of issues that Americans are deeply divided over these days.

Banning congressional stock trading isn’t one of them.

86% of people agree that members of Congress shouldn’t be able to trade stocks while in office. Will you help us get the word out to them about our growing movement to ban congressional stock trading?

Members of Congress, as part of their jobs, have access to privileged information, meaning they know about developing situations before we do. Because they are also allowed to trade stocks, they can use that privileged information to enrich themselves on the stock market.

This means they have a financial incentive to vote against the interests of their constituents in order to enrich themselves.

Here are some of the most egregious examples from just the last few months:

• About 90 minutes before Trump announced he’d be rolling back his extreme tariff threats, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought $300,000 worth of stock. She was able to increase her wealth just about overnight!

• Freshman Congressman Rob Bresnahan campaigned on targeting corruption, even promising to lead on ending congressional stock trading, but since taking office in January, he has executed hundreds of trades moving millions of dollars. (We’ve since endorsed his opponent.)

• Representatives John James and Shri Thenandar of Michigan both disclosed their stock trades several months past the mandated deadline, just in time to not catch any heat from their constituents. We will continue to call out members of both parties.

This is why we’ve launched a two-pronged strategy to ban congressional stock trading for good: a pressure campaign to get current legislators on board, and a campaign project to support anti-corruption candidates taking on the most notorious traders.

86% of people want to ban the trade – will you be one of the 5% who chips in today to help us make it happen?

Together, we’ll create a stronger democracy that works for all of us. Thank you for standing with us!
