To Whom It May Concern,

We, the hardworking citizens of the United States, demand transparency and accountability from those in public office. It has become increasingly evident that many public servants individuals elected or appointed to serve the people have accumulated substantial wealth during or shortly after their time in office. This is unacceptable when so many Americans, including myself, struggle to afford even basic necessities like food, healthcare, and a short vacation without plunging into debt.

The American people work tirelessly, paying taxes and contributing to society, yet many find themselves stuck in financial hardship. Meanwhile, individuals in government, who are supposed to represent us, seem to experience a rapid rise in net worth, often exceeding millions of dollars. This raises serious concerns about ethics, corruption, and abuse of power.

We Demand the Following Strict Guidelines and Investigations:

1. Mandatory Financial Audits:

All public officials must undergo annual, independent financial audits conducted by a bipartisan oversight committee.

Any increase of 10% or more in net worth beyond standard salary and investments must be reviewed.

The cost of these audits will be the financial responsibility of the seated individual, ensuring taxpayers do not bear the burden.

2. Full Financial Disclosure:

Public servants must disclose all income sources, assets, stock holdings, and foreign investments.

Any sudden increase in wealth exceeding $1 million while in office must trigger an automatic investigation.

3. Criminal & Civil Penalties for Unjust Enrichment:

Officials found guilty of corruption, insider trading, or illicit financial gains should face mandatory prison sentences and seizure of assets.

Implement a lifetime ban on lobbying for any government official convicted of financial misconduct.

4. Strict Oversight on Stock Trading:

Prohibit all public servants and their immediate family members from trading stocks or receiving undisclosed financial benefits.Violators should face severe fines and potential removal from office. Litigation & Enforcement to Prevent Future Corruption:

1. Creation of a Public Integrity Commission:

A permanent independent federal body with subpoena power to investigate financial misconduct.Authority to refer cases for prosecution and enforce penalties.

2. Whistleblower Protections & Rewards: Strengthened legal protections for those reporting corruption. Monetary incentives for whistleblowers who expose financial misconduct.

3. New Federal Legislation: Enact the Public Servant Financial Accountability Act, making it a felony for officials to gain unexplained wealth. Enforce mandatory asset forfeiture for convicted individuals to repay taxpayers.

4. Term Limits & Ethical Reviews: Implement term limits for elected officials to prevent long-term abuse of power. Regular ethical reviews of all public servants, ensuring ongoing compliance with financial disclosure laws.

Statistics That Demand Action:

A 2022 analysis found that over 50% of Congress members are millionaires, while the median American household earns just $74,580 per year.

Between 2020 and 2022, 97 members of Congress were found to have traded stocks in industries they directly regulate.

The average salary for a U.S. Senator is $174,000 per year, yet many have net worths exceeding $10 million.

The Federal Reserve reported in 2023 that real wages for working-class Americans have stagnated, while inflation-adjusted wealth among top officials has skyrocketed.

Public Oversight & Enforcement:

We call upon Donald J. Trump, J.D. Vance, and any other leaders who claim to fight for the American worker to stand with us and demand justice. A public citizen review board must be established to oversee financial disclosures and audit results in real time.

It is time to hold every public servant accountable, regardless of political affiliation. If they are enriching themselves while the American people suffer, they must answer for it.

Sign this petition if you believe in fair government, financial transparency, and stopping the abuse of power by those elected to serve the people. We must ensure that public service remains about service—not self-enrichment.
