Lucas,
Thanks to activists like you, the bill that would put a stop to congressional insider trading passed in the Senate by a landslide: 96 to 3!
The House is poised to move quickly. Make sure your representative knows you support the "Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge" (STOCK) Act.
Tell Congress to ban congressional insider trading.
The momentum is on our side.
Contact your representative today, and Congress might very well pass its first piece of meaningful ethics legislation in years.
The bipartisan STOCK Act would make it clear that Congress is subject to the same laws against insider trading that apply to the rest of America.
Considering the frequent meetings between corporate lobbyists and congressional members, this circumstance is ripe for corruption.
Urge your representative to pass the STOCK Act.
Thanks for all you do,
Rick Claypool
