An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Yes on H.R. 1756 - Stop War Profiteering by Congress & Spouses

18 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing to express my strong support for HR.1756, a resolution that seeks to prohibit certain defense industry stock trading and ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses. As a concerned citizen and your constituent, I urge you to co-sign and vote in favor of this important measure. The integrity of our democratic institutions relies heavily on the trust and confidence of the American people. When Members of Congress hold investments in the defense industry, it raises significant ethical concerns about potential conflicts of interest. These conflicts can undermine public trust in our elected officials and the decisions they make on behalf of their constituents. The perception that financial interests may influence legislative actions is detrimental to the very fabric of our democracy. By supporting HR.1756, you’ll take a vital step towards ensuring that the interests of the American people come before personal financial gain. This resolution is not just about preventing conflicts of interest; it is about safeguarding the integrity of our legislative process and promoting transparency and accountability among our elected leaders. In addition, this measure aligns with the principles of good governance and ethical standards that we should all strive to uphold. It is essential that we demonstrate to our constituents that their representatives are committed to serving the public good rather than personal financial interests. In a time when many Americans feel disillusioned with politics, passing HR.1756 would send a powerful message that we are taking steps to clean up Congress and prioritize the needs of the people. I urge you to vote yes on HR.1756 and to champion this resolution as a necessary reform to protect the integrity of our government. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue, and I look forward to your support.
