DEMAND A LOOK AT TRUMPS TAXES, TIES TO FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
After two failed efforts to unveil potential conflicts of interest,
it’s time that #CongressMustRequest
– Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., House Ways and Means, has introduced another resolution of inquiry to force a look at Trump’s tax returns & finances that might influence policies.
– This legislative tool gets it to the floor, regardless of whether the relevant committees vote for that.
– A US tax code provision allows the House Way and Means, Senate Finance and Joint Taxation committees to request tax documents of any individual in a closed session and consider public release.
– The committee has 14 legislative days to schedule the bill for a ‘markup’ session (to debate & amend legislation), or it goes to the floor for a full vote.
– This process will unveil potential conflicts, & confirm what Trump may be hiding.
Representative Walden should join Earl Blumenauer and co-sponsor this Resolution of Inquiry!
CALL TO ACTION: CALL REPRESENTATIVE GREG WALDEN
SAMPLE SCRIPT:
“My name is [—] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon. Donald Trump’s continuing refusal to release his tax returns and other financial records is completely unacceptable, suggesting he has much to hide. I am calling to urge Representative Walden to co-sponsor H. Res 186 to release Trump’s tax returns!” (Good time to add your personal spin on ACA issues. See reminder at bottom of page.)
