John,
This month, we received another example of how members of Congress and their families are able to take advantage of their positions of power by profiting off of trading stocks.
Now we learned that prior to their purchase of Gilead, Rand Paul, and his wife, Kelley, hadn’t bought an individual stock in over a decade.
Let’s not forget that last year, Senator Kelly Loeffler bought stock in a teleworking company, and Senator Richard Burr sold his stocks of hotel chains while telling his wealthy contributors to prepare for the worst.
These examples of insider trading are why DFA is working with Robert Reich and AOC to pass the Ban Conflicted Trading Act.
With public pressure from you and progressives across the country, our campaign to pass this legislation is gaining momentum.
Now, we need your help to build the widespread support needed to pass this crucial legislation. Rush a donation of $10 or more right now to fuel this campaign!
People across the country are raising their voices about this issue because the conflict of interest is so obvious.
Members of Congress use knowledge that is unknown to the average investor to profit off of trading individual stocks.
We cannot allow this blatant corruption to stand.
With overwhelming grassroots support, we can build the momentum and pressure that is needed to pass the Ban Conflicted Trading Act.
Help build the campaign to stop members of Congress from buying stocks with a contribution of $10 or whatever you can afford right now.
Thank you for supporting DFA. None of this important work happens without you.
