Congress members are making record profits in the stock market by taking advantage of information about the stock market that is unavailable to the public.
While there are Insider Trading Laws that prohibit this, Congress has ensured that these laws do not apply to them. Violation of these laws would earn any other American a lengthy prison sentence.
We The People petition the Obama Administration to pressure congress to repeal their exemption from Insider Trading Laws, or if necessary, repeal their exemption by executive order (if legally possible).
Congress needs to play by the same rules as other Americans when dealing with their personal finances, especially in hard economic times. Not only is it economically and legally unfair, but it encourages corruption in our legislative body.
