Hold Senators accountable for reported insider trading on the COVID-19 crisis!

We usually ask for action against the dominance of Big Money in politics that buys elections and makes government responsive to the wealthy and not regular voters. Today we're writing about a different serious financial conflict of interest that some elected officials engage in: profting off of individual stocks.

Recently several senators dumped MILLIONS of dollars in stocks after a confidential Congressional coronavirus briefing in January before the public learned of the severity of the pandemic and the stock market crashed.

It's wrong for elected officials and government officials to profit by trading stocks of companies their actions can influence or by using confidential government info.

SIGN the Coalition Petition NOW! Hold the Senators accountable by investigating their suspicious trades that dumped millions in stocks before the COVID-19 market crash!

Unfortunately, it's a bipartisan problem. Senators Richard Burr (R), Dianne Feinstein (D), Jim Inhofe (R), and Kelly Loeffler (R) made stock trades after receiving inside info they had as members of Congress. Senators Burr and Loeffler even misled the public by downplaying the grave threat to the market, economy, and all Americans!

The good news is that after great public pressure, the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have together launched an investigation into these reported violations of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK) Act.

Now we must insist that the investigation be thorough, expeditious, and uninterrupted — and if these senators really did engage in insider trading, we must demand that they resign.

SIGN the Coalition Petition NOW! Demand a real investigation into Senators' stock trades to save themselves and profit off the disaster while secretly knowing it would wipe out the public.

The coalition petition says:
Any public official who used insider knowledge to make a profit off of the coronavirus crisis has no right to hold office. Those who sold off millions in stocks just before the market crashed in response to COVID-19 must be thoroughly investigated and held accountable.
