To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate

Revoke S.716 to revive the STOCK act

To:The Congress and the President of the United States:
Please immediatly revoke S.716 and complete the implementation of the STOCK act as passed last year. This is but a small step towards the financial transparency which should be required of public officials.

Why is this important?

The Senate and the House recently passed bills, by unanimous consent, without any public review (The Senate bill was S.716), to eviscerate the STOCK act of last year which required transparency in financial trading of legislators, legislative staff, and of the executive branch. President Obama signed this bill, ironically enough, on April 15, 2013 (Tax Day).
