Tell the Senate: ban insider trading, pass the STOCK Act!

Sen. Gillibrand's STOCK Act, which bans insider trading of corporate stocks by members of Congress, is scheduled to receive a key cloture vote on Monday, January 30th. The bill also makes it illegal for members of Congress to tip off others, and requires disclosure of stock trades by all members of Congress within 30 days. Let's let the sunshine in on who's cozy with Wall Street and making a nice profit, while the rest of us are left in the lurch.

In last week's State of the Union, President Obama said "Send me a bill that bans insider trading by members of Congress; I will sign it tomorrow." If we can get it through the Senate, it will pressure the House Republican leadership to show which side they are on.

Let's help get it to President Obama's desk: sign our urgent petition calling on the U.S. Senate to pass Sen. Gillibrand's STOCK Act!
