(Augusta Free Press) Members of Congress shouldn’t be able to trade individual stocks. Simple as that. What they do daily in Congress making laws gives them too much inside information. “Banning members from owning or trading individual stocks is a concrete step Congress can take to reduce corruption and begin to restore the public’s faith in their elected officials. We applaud Rep. Spanberger’s leadership on this issue and encourage members of both parties to work with her to get this done,” said Tiffany Muller, President, End Citizens United / Let America Vote Action Fund.
