{NAME}, help me end corrupt stock trading in Congress

Accountability and transparency in government are critical. But right now, we have a problem: ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ [Sherrod Brown Senator for Ohio] {NAME}, Ohioans and Americans deserve accountability and transparency in government. It's what ensures that our elected officials are working for the people – not corporations, special interests, or themselves. But right now, we have a problem: Lawmakers often have access to private information about individual companies and entire industries – information that can directly impact stock prices – and right now, they have free reign to buy and sell stocks. I don't own individual stocks because my job is to serve Ohioans, not a personal stock portfolio – but many members of Congress do, and it's a practice we need to end. That's why, for years I’ve led the fight to ban members from stock trading, and I just introduced the Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act. This act will strengthen government accountability and prevent members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from profiting off of their positions for personal gain. I'm fighting as hard as I can to pass this important legislation and stand up to corruption in Washington – and I need to know you're with me. I'm looking for 20,000 folks to add their voices to this fight by midn‌ight, but your name is still missing, {NAME}. So please: [Will you sign on to my petition right now to help end corrupt stock trading in Congress? I'm counting on you to speak out before midn‌ight toni‌ght.]( [Add Your Name]( I promise to always call out corruption when I see it and fight for you and your family. Thanks for being by my side, {NAME}. [Sherrod Brown signature]( Sherrod Please read on for a personal message from Sen. Sherrod Brown: {NAME} – thank you for being a part of our grassroots movement and for sharing our commitment to the Dignity of Work. Fighting for workers means building an economy that prioritizes the needs of workers over tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. No matter who you are or what kind of work you do, I promise to fight for you. But I need your help: Experts say I'm one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection and Senate control could come down to Ohio. The only way we can defend this critical seat is with grassroots contributions from supporters like you.
