The Whitehouse made up lies about the number of people who attended the inauguration because they didn't like the reality of the truth. The fabricated falsehoods erode the core of our democracy. This needs to stop now; otherwise how can we ever trust what we are told about important matters such as national security, health care, economy, the environment, immigration, civil rights, education, international relations, etc.

Paul Ryan blocked the delivery by Planned Parenthood volunteers of petitions bearing 90,000 signatures from people who say they do not want Planned Parenthood defunded. Ryan has also had his phone and fax lines blocked.

For decades now, voices have wished to have their individual votes counted when voting for the President of The United States of America and past presidents have been confirmed against the majority of voters by using an outdated electoral college system. This must be removed and officially replaced with the popular vote.

Katie Rich, an SNL writer, mocked and attacked Barron Trump, a 10 year old boy, online. She has not offered an apology. This is cyber bullying, which is a crime in many states.

Donald Trump did not receive a majority of the popular vote. Kelly Ann Conway states only the media is concerned about Mr. Trump refusing to release his tax returns. I strongly disagree-President Trump should provide full disclosure otherwise his presidency will be seen as one that invites suspicion of corruption and crony-capitalism

In this time of political uncertainty and unease, having open, honest, real live discussions among constituents and our congressman is crucial to building trust and confidence that Rep. Stivers understands our interests and is therefore in the best possible position to put those interests forward.

For the last four decades, presidential candidates have revealed their tax returns to highlight their generous donations, other income sources, and potential conflicts of interest. If we allow Mr. Trump to set the new expectation of intentional secrecy, we are paving the road for further separation from character traits that we value as American citizens. Kellyanne Conway told "Meet the Press" that the people don't care about seeing Trump's taxes. The opposite is true! Share this far and wide and prove how many people actually do care!

We the People of the United States of America deserve transparency in our government. The highest elected official in the land should not be held to lower standards. Donald Trump, according to his statements, has HUGE business holdings all over the world. He owes it to the American People to release his tax returns so that we may be assured he is acting in our best interest and not his own.

The 2016 Presidential Election demonstrated a glaring loophole in the information available to voters about one of the presidential aspirants. Candidate Donald Trump did not provide his tax information and, consequently, the voting public did not have any way to know what, if any, conflicts of interest, foreign entanglements and influences might be brought to bear upon him. We still do not have that information. Now that we know and recognize this loophole, we can and should close it by requiring all candidates to allow the public to have the information they need to make intelligent decisions about who will lead the nation.

To legalize the tradition of tax release so it is not optional.

Senator Gardner's offices around Colorado and in DC have been sending calls directly to voicemail. He is supposed to work for his constituents, yet we are unable to share our concerns. Senator Gardner should hold multiple open and accessible town halls in the coming weeks and months for all his constituents so that he can hear directly from Coloradans who are personally affected by how he votes in the Senate.

I am hoping this petition will act as a vehicle to clearly communicate the wishes of the American People surrounding the release of information from the Presidents we elect. The choice of our current President not to adopt the standard practice of releasing his/her tax returns, sets a precedent that could lead to unintended consequence which could be damaging to our country. I am hoping we can convince the current Administration, that this is a very important issue to the American People and their current inaction needs to be reversed.
