tell us why it is needed, but also tell us how you can be sure there will not be work arounds because there have been with past efforts. you put your finger on it, we don t we can t do a half measure here. so this bill is really straightforward. it says if you re a member of congress, or the spouse of a member of congress, you cannot own individual stocks, you cannot buy individual stocks, you cannot trade in individual stocks. now, here s the good news, it is simple, it is direct, and it is bipartisan. it is the only bill right now in the senate that is bipartisan. we have got a half a dozen original co-sponsors, half democrat, half republican. and a real sense that now is the time to say to the american people, you can be confident that when a representative or a senator is voting on something, they re doing it because they believe it is best for the country, not just for themselves
