We Hit a Nerve! Trump Lashes Out at Tax March Protesters.

Over 125,000 people marched, in more than 200 communities nationwide, demanding transparency from our president. Many of you even handed out signs promoting this petition in cities like San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and even Honolulu. Check out photos from these marches on Change.org’s Facebook page: http://bit.ly/2pb1Djz

On Sunday, a clearly flustered Trump posted two tweets complaining about the Tax March.

At 6:07am Trump tweeted:
“I did what was an almost impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?”

He followed that up with a tweet at 6:13am:
“Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!”

Newsflash, Mr. President. We marched because we’re patriots, and your refusal to release your taxes can only mean one thing. You have something to hide.

Here are some links to terrific coverage of and photos from the Tax March:

And check out this excellent USA Today op ed, which warns that if we don’t see Trump’s tax returns, his upcoming plans for tax reform will be “the art of the steal” where “the rest of us pay yet more tax while he, and probably his business partners and political allies, pay less.” http://usat.ly/2paTTOq

This week’s action? Please keep calling your House representative through our simple call-tool (just plug in your zip code and phone number and you’ll be connected): https://www.releasetrumpstaxes.org/#call-tool

Some suggested demands:
1) I want my representative to do EVERYTHING possible to get Trump’s tax returns released. I think the president is hiding business interests, loans and partnerships with Russia and other foreign nations..
2) Please DON’T vote on tax reform WITHOUT viewing Trump’s tax returns. His proposed reforms could be designed to benefit him, his family and corporations rather than the working people of the United States.

Finally, I want to extend a huge thank you to the Tax March organizers who worked so hard to make this happen. Their work isn’t over and you can still sign up to get updates from them here: http://bit.ly/2nwl9mV

Thank you again!
