Dylan's Super-Experimental tumblr thing

I'm Dylan - This is my tumblelog - the place where I put random bits and bobs of things that I find interesting. Perhaps you even will too. That'd be sweet.

I also created and post frequently to Fuck Yeah Braves.

Dear Mr. Fulmer:

Thank you for your recent correspondence concerning H.R. 1148, the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act. I appreciate your taking the time to express your thoughts on this important matter. I am grateful for the privilege of representing you and serving as a voice for the citizens of Virginia’s Fifth District.

I agree with you that members of Congress that engage in insider trading practices should be prosecuted by the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) to the fullest extent possible. Recently, officials from the SEC told the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs that the SEC has the authority to prosecute members of Congress that conduct financial transaction based on nonpublic information. You may also be interested to know that the House Committee on Financial Services, of which I am a member, held a hearing on December 6, 2011, to examine how the SEC investigates insider trading by Congress, as well as H.R. 1148. Please be assured that I will give your thoughts every consideration as the House Committee on Financial Services takes action on H.R. 1148
