Make it illegal for members of Congress to own any stock in any company that they are responsible for regulating.

Having members of Congress investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in companies they bailout and regulate is a direct conflict of interest and is paramount to insider trading. Representatives like John Kerry have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in banks and companies that have been bailed out with taxpayer dollars and allowing this to happen ensures that our representatives will put their own financial interests ahead of the well-being of the country. To truly be impartial, our representatives, our leaders, cannot be financially tied to companies that are bleeding this country dry.
