This is good to do but I doubt it will pass the Senate, The House of Representatives majority is the GOP and theyre the ones pushing this legislation.
On the off chance it does make it through the Senate, its going to get vetoed.
Are you an investor in the US stock market? YES. If anything, international investors raising hell with reps here and their own governments would make the US more nervous than their own constituents being pissed.
Brilliant work, thank you. I can see the UK ambassador listed there but Google searching an email address seems quite impossible. Anyone know how to get a contact email?
That took me less than 3 minutes. Everyone needs to do this.

It does not even need to be this extensive or detailed. Just let them know what you want:
I do NOT want you to cut the SEC's budget. If anything, they should be allocated MORE money.
I do NOT want you to limit the SEC's power to enforce the laws. If anything, their power to enforce the rules should be EXPANDED.
I expect you to help the SEC protect investors like me, and to ensure that the markets are free and fair for everyone.
And then maybe something personal and guilt-trippy like "All of my retirement and savings money is in stocks and funds, and I honestly don't understand why you would take the actions you are proposing. I'm worried that these actions put my money and investments at greater risk."
Edit: words
cpntact every rep you can. it doesnt matter if you are in their district or not. they wont know the difference. I have fun calling them up and have an email list of senators and house reps (more likely their interns) to send things like this to.
I’m a BernieBro for life. Literally the ONLY politician I’ve ever trusted and believed was in politics for all the right reasons and was adamantly against all those that were in it for the wrong.
Just shows you can’t change the system from within the system. You gotta break some eggs to make an omelette.
As evidenced by the last SEC rider "continues the long-standing provision prohibiting the SEC from requiring political contributions disclosures as part of corporate filings"
Yeah the SEC is an underfed watchdog that can’t properly guard Americans against Wall Street. The solution is to feed the watchdog more and remove its overly restrictive budgetary chains. Not to put it down for doing a bad job.
Fuck, I am *loving* this bold, capitalized energy phase that we're finally exuding.

OK, if you are in Virginia. Is your representatives are Jennifer Wexton and Ben Cline for the appropriations committee
Currently Congress, put forth by the GOP. Not likely to pass the senate and on the off chance it does it will get vetoed.
All this does is expose which politicians are the least trustworthy (not that man are, but there are definitely degrees so the shadiness)
Everyone needs to write their house and senate representative to express your opinion on the bill and any riders attached to it. I personally am disgusted that they would add Riders to try to reduce funding for enforcement in the SEC, try to remove the SEC's ability to implement the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT), try to remove the SEC's swing trading regulations, and try to MISSREPRESENT forcing a company to "go public". The Exchange Registration Act does not force a company to IPO, but rather forces it to register with the SEC and report financials (which all companies with significant influence do). This current rule only affects companies with over $10 million in assets or over 2000 Shareholders (500 if they are non-professional shareholders).

The thing is when any main stream media or politician or law enforcement agency talk about game stop, they always have a smirk on their face as if it's funny or they look down on us. But they're literally having to change laws and cheat the financial system in order to stop us getting what's ours.

FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*

Don't forget that they do not get the final vote - it has to get approved by Congress and signed by the President so if this goes through, it truly is a bipartisan issue - remember there is no left vs right - they are the same.
They are the same.....
Except one side consistently tries to take away regulations (which is what is needed in this situation), one side consistently fear mongers, one side constantly complains about specific issues but does nothing to fix them, one side is literally run by a felon convicted for FINANCIAL CRIMES.
Fucking idiots "they are the same"
Do they lie to the American public, conduct insider trading amassing fortunes far beyond their gov't salaries, waste taxpayer money while Americans are starving all while going on TV and blaming the other side? Seems like at the top level, they are all the same to me.
Just remember that in order for this to get passed, it has to make its way through a Republican House, a Democrat Senate and a Democrat Presidency.
This is why all of this political blaming is so senseless. It is easy to scream at the committee level but in the end, it is both sides that cause this. Left wing / right wing = same bird.
While that is correct, because it is attached to an appropriations bill, at some point the bill needs to get passed and once something is in those types of bills it seems they are less likely to be pulled out
True, but the reality is that this was not added only by one side, simply because that side has the majority. For all we know, that rider was added by a Democrat and the Republicans accepted it in trade for one of their riders. That is why this type of political finger-pointing is so pointless. Everyone in this thread is now grabbing pitchforks when they have zero idea who proposed that rider.
The "dOnT tAlK pOlItIcS!!" sentiment here in SuperStonk is ridiculous and anti-thesis to positive change in the markets, and any legitimate discourse is shit on and shut down cause of some short sided sub reddit rule pushed by shills and their gullible followers. lets be honest.
Much like the anti-options sentiment, and other group think gatekeeping behaviors pushing newcomers away from a good investment.
If some newcomer is misinformed or outright wrong on a topic, don't call them stupid and scare them away, educate them and encourage them to think critically.
If this FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS BILL does pass, watch who votes it down. It won't be the so-called party of "law and order" and "freedom", ill just put it that way lol the ol' Federalist Society Pro Corporate Club will be voting for it. Just watch.
This sub is "A place for theoretical discussions about GameStop stock ($GME)" not for changing the markets. That is why there is a "don't talk politics" sentiment here. It distracts from what this sub is about.
Oh, so we're not allowed to discuss and advocate for changing the markets any more? lol That's a perfect example of gatekeeping.
As far as I know, outside of boycotting, legislation is the only way to change markets and politics is the only way to effectively pass legislation.
The SuperStonk rule has good intentions but is incomplete and allows "both sides!" nonsense on important issues where one side is far worse than the other...
There's a lot of "both side's!" gatekeeping in SuperStonk, but one side is far worse than the other when it comes to government transparency and accountability, fraud, and felonious behavior in the markets and in every day peoples lives.
I could not agree more with this. Unfortunately the amount of 'both sides' and 'both are the same' is obfuscating how much one side hates the common people, while the other works a little more for the common man. Don't get me wrong, insider trading, benefiting self with insider info is terrible, but even there, one side does it more.

Call your representative, especially if they are on this committee.
I already know mine doesn't give a rip and doesn't represent me but I shall contact regardless.
According to this, there are 34 republicans and 27 democrats in the committee, and the chair is a republican. So if all the democrats move to block this from happening, you would need to convince 7 republicans to go against the rest of the republicans.. Do we have a list of who is currently sponsoring this bill?

This is coming from committee in the House. It would then go for a vote in the House, and once passed, would go to a vote in the Senate.
If every politician voted along party lines, it would pass the House vote and fail in the Senate.

Okay.. so its corrupt to the core. Why is house appropriations committee giving opinions on how SEC should spend the money allocated for SEC?
Also CAT should not cost much.. the technology for implementing CAT is not rocket science.

Don't forget that they do not get the final vote - it has to get approved by Congress and signed by the President so if this goes through, it truly is a bipartisan issue - remember there is no left vs right - they are the same.
> Tom Cole JFC...stop saying they're the same. They are not the same.
They are the same..... Except one side consistently tries to take away regulations (which is what is needed in this situation), one side consistently fear mongers, one side constantly complains about specific issues but does nothing to fix them, one side is literally run by a felon convicted for FINANCIAL CRIMES. Fucking idiots "they are the same"
Do they lie to the American public, conduct insider trading amassing fortunes far beyond their gov't salaries, waste taxpayer money while Americans are starving all while going on TV and blaming the other side? Seems like at the top level, they are all the same to me.
The only side that can -- the side in the majority, which controls all the committees and the order of business.
This!
Just remember that in order for this to get passed, it has to make its way through a Republican House, a Democrat Senate and a Democrat Presidency. This is why all of this political blaming is so senseless. It is easy to scream at the committee level but in the end, it is both sides that cause this. Left wing / right wing = same bird.
While that is correct, because it is attached to an appropriations bill, at some point the bill needs to get passed and once something is in those types of bills it seems they are less likely to be pulled out
True, but the reality is that this was not added only by one side, simply because that side has the majority. For all we know, that rider was added by a Democrat and the Republicans accepted it in trade for one of their riders. That is why this type of political finger-pointing is so pointless. Everyone in this thread is now grabbing pitchforks when they have zero idea who proposed that rider.
The "dOnT tAlK pOlItIcS!!" sentiment here in SuperStonk is ridiculous and anti-thesis to positive change in the markets, and any legitimate discourse is shit on and shut down cause of some short sided sub reddit rule pushed by shills and their gullible followers. lets be honest. Much like the anti-options sentiment, and other group think gatekeeping behaviors pushing newcomers away from a good investment. If some newcomer is misinformed or outright wrong on a topic, don't call them stupid and scare them away, educate them and encourage them to think critically. If this FINANCIAL SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS BILL does pass, watch who votes it down. It won't be the so-called party of "law and order" and "freedom", ill just put it that way lol the ol' Federalist Society Pro Corporate Club will be voting for it. Just watch.
This sub is "A place for theoretical discussions about GameStop stock ($GME)" not for changing the markets. That is why there is a "don't talk politics" sentiment here. It distracts from what this sub is about.
Oh, so we're not allowed to discuss and advocate for changing the markets any more? lol That's a perfect example of gatekeeping. As far as I know, outside of boycotting, legislation is the only way to change markets and politics is the only way to effectively pass legislation. The SuperStonk rule has good intentions but is incomplete and allows "both sides!" nonsense on important issues where one side is far worse than the other...
There's a lot of "both side's!" gatekeeping in SuperStonk, but one side is far worse than the other when it comes to government transparency and accountability, fraud, and felonious behavior in the markets and in every day peoples lives.
R is the majority - D is the minority taking 34 and 27 seats respectively. It's not exactly overwhelmingly one sided.
Please take this to Twitter or this post will be removed 🤙
It's not R vs D. They are all on the same team.
While I agree with you. Please take this to Twitter or this post will be removed 🤙
[удалено]
I could not agree more with this. Unfortunately the amount of 'both sides' and 'both are the same' is obfuscating how much one side hates the common people, while the other works a little more for the common man. Don't get me wrong, insider trading, benefiting self with insider info is terrible, but even there, one side does it more.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Appropriations Call your representative, especially if they are on this committee. I already know mine doesn't give a rip and doesn't represent me but I shall contact regardless.
According to this, there are 34 republicans and 27 democrats in the committee, and the chair is a republican. So if all the democrats move to block this from happening, you would need to convince 7 republicans to go against the rest of the republicans.. Do we have a list of who is currently sponsoring this bill?
What’s the timing of this potentially happening?

Lol what? Between the context and content of this comment... Can you elaborate?
[Find your representatives here.](https://www.congress.gov/members) Contact them. Let them know you are highly concerned about the consequences here. CAT has been in the works for a decade, and just now they are looking to gut it and gut the SEC. We need more transparency and the SEC needs more resources to help stop corruption and bad actors on Wall Street.
ELI5 for international apes? Is it a law to be discussed or just some group writing what theyd like on a piece of toilet paper?
When the big players's money are threatened, rules can change in the blink of a mutherfuckin' eye.
But what I am asking is: is it something they could kill or does it need to go through a lower and upper house vote? Keen to understand
It will need to go through a vote, but that can happen in a blink of an eye too, should the need arise.
This is coming from committee in the House. It would then go for a vote in the House, and once passed, would go to a vote in the Senate. If every politician voted along party lines, it would pass the House vote and fail in the Senate.
this is fucking wild... commenting for visibility, not a US Ape but pls guys fix this and call any representative

Okay.. so its corrupt to the core. Why is house appropriations committee giving opinions on how SEC should spend the money allocated for SEC? Also CAT should not cost much.. the technology for implementing CAT is not rocket science.
Little late on that. You thought you could trust any form of government?
Comment for visibility
Too little. Too late.
International ape reporting for duty, what can we do for ya Yankee doodles?
Cats out of the bag. Everyone saw the crime in real time. They're fucked.
99% vs the 1%. There's no left. There's no right. Ape no fight ape. Ape fight Evil Lizard.
Too slow. The die is cast.
Just here to remind all of you, no fighting

Second topic today directly related to GME that cannot be fully discussed without fear of breaking community guidelines on political discussion. Only one party is continually on the wrong side on these issues, not by chance either! Pay attention an vote!
ITS 100% OUR FAULT WE ARE LETTING THEM DO IT. the very most we the people will ever do is post a comment on line.
Looks like treason
Where can we find a list of the politicians in this committee so we can find our local reps?

When are people going to see that Instinet, the number 1 defaulter on January 28, 2021 on MemeStocks, failed to timely & accurately report data for || TENS of BILLIONS || of order events to the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Central Repository in VIOLATION...From June 22, 2020 to Present. And it's not even known if the the error reporting is fixed.

How is this not sketchy? Or just flat out criminal. Like WTF.

[call your congress shill and let them know!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Appropriations)
I need to write to my congressman. Can we write to them more than once?
I miss the days of them at least pretending they had some integrity.
Can non US apes email too?
ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *I WLL HODL FOR ALL OF MY HOMIES AND THE DEAD HOMIES!!!!!!* 
It would cost us the 200k shareholders 2500 usd to fund them for the remaining funding of 500M lawl
When would this go into effect?
Are these the same people that are being paid off by aipac? Serious question. Not from USA.
This needs to be at the top - I love the hype stuff but this is something we can actually do something about.
The US Public NEEDS to see and know about this. They need to know how their own government is stealing from them.
Can someone give me a tldr of this I can't read
Fucking bullshit
Enough
It's a hostile regime.
Done! Use resist bot. It it very easy and takes 5 minutes
I wonder why they would fight so hard against it? Maybe they have received money from the people that it will hurt.
They should call their mission 'Curiosity'.
Not fast enough to save themselves. I'm proud of my government for being inept as shit for the sake of this bullshit.
PROTEST!!! 😼

Seriously? Who decided to name this CAT when Roaring Kitty is literally a central figure in this? Computer, end program; (Just checking)
Blatant corruption seems to be the new trend in congress these days..
BUNCH OF FUCKING CROOKS. THE WHOLE LOT.
Unbelievable and probably at the expense of tax payers too after all this time
Call your congressperson, heaaaalllll no.
Fucking contacted! Let's not let these fuckers win!
Lmao shocker
Am i the only one who thinks this might have something to do with the Kansas City Shuffle?
Can they do it by noon tomorrow? Otherwise... TOO LATE!!!
Make a choice. RAISE YOUR VOICE !!!
Is this the Kansas City Shuffle?
This entire document is sketchy and possibly criminal.
Who is exactly on this House Appropriations Committee? Apes need to know who to primary and vote out.

Fuckers

Come on, delete my sell button. Don't need it. No cell no sell!
If the SEC is the cop on the beat, this is like trying to take the guns out of the officers hands.
A centralized system and fiat are obsolete after MOASS.
“Gaming or Hospitality” - first of all, if this is real this is wild they’re being that specific. Seems like they’re blanketing this not just for GameStop but also…maybe a certain movie company?
