By Election Day 2016, it had become painfully obvious that Donald Trump was hiding something in his tax returns. The less troubling possibilities were troubling enough: that he had lied to the American people about his degree of business success, or that he had exploited tax loopholes that, while technically legal, would strike most Americans as improper. But there are growing reasons to be concerned about darker possibilities: corrupt business practices that would make Trump vulnerable to blackmail by anyone who knew the truth, or financial ties to foreign governments that would amount to taking bribes once Trump took office. Many members of the cabinet, and other political appointees (such as heads of independent agencies) wield significant power. Furthermore, in the case of lower-ranking political appointees, Federal law allows the President to reappoint them to higher positions in an acting capacity once confirmed by the Senate to the first position. Therefore, it is dangerous for the Senate to confirm any appointee who may have been chosen for improper reasons. Many of Trump's nominees would arguably stand a good chance of being reappointed by Trump's successor were he to resign or be removed from office with their appointments still pending. However, even with Trump's less-controversial nominees, it would be deeply embarrassing for the Senate to have rushed their confirmations, if the worst suspicions about Trump ultimately proved true. Offering Trump an ultimatum will provide Trump with a powerful incentive to resolve these questions as quickly as possible. So for the sake of the country, and the dignity of the Senate, we ask you: tell Trump you will not vote to confirm any of his political appointees until he lets the American people know the truth.

I am outraged that in less then week Trump will ascend to the Presidency of the United States before the American people know the extent of foreign interference into our election.

We, the people, should not be required to pay for health care coverage for elected officials. We must redirect our tax dollars to other more important needs.

Democrats should show NO support for Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is #NOTMYPRESIDENT. He won the election by conspiring with the Russians.

Taxpayers are paying for top of the line health care of Congress members, in some cases for rest of their lives, while 22 million people who are currently covered through the Affordable Care Act will be without health coverage. Fair is fair, none for us? NONE FOR YOU!

Donald Trump has many business interests in other countries. Any gifts to his businesses or his family could violate the emoluments clause in the constitution. All American citizens should feel that the President of the United States must be above suspicion in any actions he takes on behalf of this country.

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.
