This is an automatically-generated Group for MyOC users in Illinois. OpenCongress has built-in Groups for all 50 U.S. states and a total of 438 Congressional districts (encompassing all 435 districts in the House, plus three additional delegates). Only registered MyOC users from this state or Congressional district can view the full list of MyOC members, and only those who have opted-in to make their state & district info publicly viewable. To make your state & district public, vsit your MyOC profile's 'about' page, and set the privacy setting there to public for your five-digit ZIP code and plus-4 zip extension. This will allow you to connect with other constituents in your area, make new MyOC Friends, and coordinate your letters to your members of Congress. Questions? writeus@opencongress.org.

The group has not taken a position on any bills.

      Something needs to be done to stop “Insider Trading” in Congress. Congress people should not profit from legislation or inside information in stock markets where it is illegal for anyone else to do so. This bill does not do enough to discourage this activity. It should simply be prohibited and punishable.
