Trump promised the citizens of America that he would release his tax returns once elected. Now an elected Trump claims that the public doesn't want to know. Well, I do and want to see who else does, please sign this petition and hopefully will get what the public was promised.

Taking away health care for millions of Americans has been the focus of Representative Price's career. Voting for him would be a vote for privatizing Medicare, gutting Medicaid, and repealing the ACA. Rep. Price's legislation, the Empowering Patients First Act gives tax breaks to the wealthy and repeatedly punishes the sick by repealing Medicaid expansion, allowing discrimination against pre-exisiting conditions, and increasing rates for the elderly. Rep. Price has questionable judgement. He is a member of the extreme Association of American Physicians and Surgeons which claims that HIV does not cause AIDS and there is a link between abortion and breast cancer. He also has ethics scandals around trading stocks with companies that he is legislating at the time. Rep. Price has a plan to dismantle our health care system. Senators - look at his record and reject Rep. Price for HHS secretary as too extreme for America.

This petition is a direct response to the allegations of President-elect Trump at the press conference of January 11, 2017, that the public is no longer interested in his tax returns. There is no legal reason why he cannot release his tax returns at this time. And there is substantial evidence of the potential for grave conflicts of interest. His continued connection to his business interests is of great concern for the safety and best interests of our country.

To prevent Putin and his two dopes on a rope from starting WWW III, and to bring our government back to the people of the United States. I can not sit back and let my beloved country fall into the hands of Vladimir Putin. I beg you to please sign and share. Thank you and may God bless the United States

During a press conference following the November 2018 midterm election, Donald Trump berated CNN reporter Jim Acosta for asking questions that he didn’t want to answer. Later in the evening, the Trump administration revoked Acosta’s press credentials and barred him from entering the White House grounds. The White House Press Correspondents Association exists to advance the interests of and protective the White House Press Corps. They need to act. They need to make it a matter of policy that if one of their members if blacklisted, that the rest of the White House Press Corps will line up in solidarity -- and either refuse to participate in White House press events or only ask questions on behalf of the banned reporter/outlet until the ban is lifted. In response to the ban, many outlets and reporters publicly expressed concern. But, in a couple days their concern will fade and they will go about their business. We know this to be true because it’s happened before. Trump has a history of doing just this thing. During the 2016 campaign, he has literally banned the Des Moines Register from covering his events. He banned Univsion from attending his events. He revoked The Washington Post’s credentials for a period in retaliation for a headline that he didn’t like. He revoked Politico’s credentials for a while to punish them for an article he didn’t like. BuzzFeed--which Trump called "a pathetic pile of garbage" during a press conference--was on a blacklist starting in June 2015 and extending well into early 2017. The Daily Beast had been blacklisted as well and was frequently denied credentials as a result. Despite this long record and Trump’s increasingly brazen attacks against the news media, journalists covering Trump still haven’t learned. Time and time again, as one outlet after another is frozen out, reporters continue to go about their interactions with Trump and his people as if nothing is wrong. Enough is enough. Some principles are more important than competition among news outlets. If a free press has any hope of surviving Trump’s sustained attacks, we need the journalists covering Trump to step up and send a clear message: If Trump blackballs one of you, the rest of you need to stand in solidarity.

On Wednesday during President-elect Donald Trump's first press conference since July, he said about the Affordable Care Act: "let it implode in '17." [1] Millions of Americans and their families rely on the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid to keep their families healthy -- and to help them when they get sick. Now President-elect Trump and other Republicans in Congress want to take our health care away, rather than expanding and improving it so that we pay lower premiums, get cheaper prescription drugs, and have a plan that works best for their family. It is outrageous that President-elect Trump and Republicans in Congress want to undo improvements to our healthcare system rather than working to expand and build upon them. Please take action by signing this petition and sharing it with your friends and family. [1] "Donald Trump’s News Conference: Full Transcript and Video."

A petition can not compel Donald Trump to release his tax returns. However, he and his surrogates often defend their stance on this issue by saying the American public doesn't care to see this information. Quite simply, in order to provide evidence against that fact in future questioning, let's add our names to this list.

To demonstrate that we, the people, do care to know about all the conflicts of interests facing Donald Trump.

We need more oversight in regard to ethics and criminal activity happening in our government. The GOP wants absolute power that has no accountability.

The Senate is about to hold hearings on Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Labor -- one of the WORST fast-food CEO’s, Andy Puzder of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. I work at Hardee’s under Puzder. I know first-hand -- we MUST fight his nomination. I was paid far too little to live -- just $7.35 per hour -- and see health and safety violations all over the place at my restaurant. Puzder makes more in a day than many employees make in a year -- and he even opposes the minimum wage Now Trump wants to put Puzder in charge of enforcing the very laws that he broke as CEO. We won’t, we can’t, back down.

On Saturday, the Office of Government Ethics reported that several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees have not completed the ethics review process. Many of Mr. Trump’s nominees have extensive financial holdings that may present serious conflicts of interest. We stand opposed to holding confirmation hearings for Mr. Trump’s nominees until their ethics reviews have been completed. The hearings and votes must be delayed to ensure due diligence in this vital democratic process. The role of the president and of U.S. legislators is to uphold the Constitution, democracy, and our most cherished values as a nation. Rushing the confirmation process without completing adequate ethics reviews before confirmation hearings endangers all three.

As reported in the Huffington Post, "Congressional Democrats led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) plan to introduce legislation on Monday that would require President-elect Donald Trump to divest his business holdings in order to avoid conflicts of interest while serving in the White House. "The President Conflict of Interest Act would require the president and vice president, their spouses and any minor or dependent children to divest all personal financial holdings that could create a conflict of interest, and to place the resulting assets into a blind trust governed by an independent trustee. "The bill would also formally implement the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which bans government officials from receiving gifts or payments from foreign governments, by declaring the violation of financial conflict-of-interest laws and provisions by the president to be considered a high crime or misdemeanor punishable by impeachment. "Trump is set to enter office with an unprecedented array of financial conflicts of interest related to his multibillion-dollar Trump Organization. He has failed to specify how he will separate himself from the business that bears his name in order to avoid conflicts of interest."
