John, it's simple:
We deserve to know that our representatives in Congress are looking out for us, and not their own financial interests. And right now, any member of Congress is allowed to own and trade individual stocks. Members of Congress should not be allowed to own or trade stocks because people deserve to know that they are their representative’s number 1 priority.
Will you send a letter to your representative right now to let them know that you support the ban on members of Congress owning or trading stocks?

There are multiple bills under consideration right now in Congress that will ban members of Congress and their families from owning and trading stocks.
Members of Congress should be looking out for the interests of the people they represent; not their own financial interests. The same lawmakers whose job it is to pass and vote on legislation are also allowed to profit from the industries they are overseeing. This is especially concerning during a pandemic, which millions of Americans are still reeling from the financial impact of the last two years. A recent poll found over 70% of registered voters support banning members of Congress from trading stocks.
Even more, allowing representatives to own stocks creates a blatant conflict of interest and blocks progress on many progressive priorities, such as climate change, health care, and prescription drugs.
Here’s how you can make an impact right now: Click here to send a letter to your representative and let them know that you’ve had enough. Members of Congress should be banned from trading or own stock.
Thank you for taking action today,
Team Cisneros
