[ [link removed] ]TWEET: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought up to $15k of Lockheed Martin
stock the day before she tweeted, 'War and rumors of war is incredibly
profitable'...Lockheed's stock is up 21% since Greene's purchase two days
before Russia invaded Ukraine.

In 2020, a Republican senator from Georgia used confidential info about
COVID to invest in body bags. We defeated that senator. But the corruption
remains.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jon Ossoff, and Reps. Pramila Jayapal and
Andy Kim (among others), are pushing new legislation to ban members of
Congress, their families, and other top government officials from buying
and selling individual stocks.

Our government relations team -- P Street, the progressive alternative to
K Street -- is leading a coalition of a dozen organizations that has been
urging the House Committee on Administration to hold a hearing on the
proposals. That hearing will be held next week.

insider trading in Congress. Can you add your name in advance of the
congressional hearing next week? Sign on here.

Momentum is growing for a ban on stock trading in Congress by the day. And
it is easy to see why.

A recent Insider report showed that in 2020 and 2021, dozens of lawmakers
flouted even the existing -- toothless -- rules that require lawmakers to
report stock trades.

A New York Times Editorial demanded, "Members of Congress should not be
trading stocks, ever....The nation is experiencing a crisis of confidence
that is eating away at its strength and unity. Americans have lost faith
in Congress. Now is the moment to drive home this popular, common-sense
reform."

But we're up against some very powerful people. It will take the voices of
voters to pressure Congress to end insider trading and self-dealing in the
halls of the Capitol.

[ [link removed] ]This is a moment where public outcry can get this across the finish
line. Can you sign on as a supporter today? (On the page, you will have
the option of sharing a comment with the media.)

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
