@RepTimBurchett

I’m ticked off. Let’s see if we have the guts to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks.

Thank you to @RepBryanSteil and @HouseAdmin for holding a hearing on this issue. It’s time to prove to America that we are working for them, not just for ourselves.

Never going to happen. Just like term limits, who in their right mind would vote to limit the length of their own employment and its perks?

Who says they are in their right mind?
