We’re loving all the support for a Congressional stock ban

Hi John,

Congress trading individual stocks is like an umpire betting on a game they're officiating: unfair. And finally, something is being done about it. 

Last week, we let you know that the Restore Trust in Congress Act was just unveiled in the House of Representatives. This bipartisan bill would ban Members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from trading individual stocks, meaning Congress could no longer profit off of its insider knowledge.

That message spread far and wide. In just one week, we reached: More than 114,000 people on social media 35,000 people through text messaging 21,000 people from email

And when people know about the stock ban, they like it! In the last week, RepresentUs supporters have sent nearly 2,000 letters to House representatives urging them to support this bill.

 2 Instagram comments. One says Absolutely no reason to wait, just get it done and the other says It never made sense that a normal person would go to jail for insider trading but a congressperson would not. They have been allowed to break a law--a law everyone else has to follow--and profit from it. Even Martha Stewart went to jail for getting/acting on an insider tip

But we’re just getting started. Will you help us get to 3,000 letters sent? Send Your Letter Today
