Ban Members of Congress from Trading Stock While in Office

Members of Congress write the rules — and far too many of them are quietly getting rich from the very companies they oversee. Every month brings new reports of “perfectly timed” trades, suspicious stock moves, and lawmakers striking it rich.

While Americans struggle with rising costs, these members of Congress are beating the market by margins no ordinary investor could ever achieve. 

It’s time for the only solution that actually works: A complete ban on trading of individual company stock by sitting members of Congress and their immediate families.

They can still invest in index funds.  They can still invest through blind trusts.  What they cannot do is use their office as a cheat code.

Sign now to demand Congress pass an immediate ban on stock trading by lawmakers — no more loopholes, no more excuses.
