Hold President Trump Accountable
Make sure that President-elect Trump and his family do not abuse the power of the presidency for their personal enrichment.
Why is this important?
One thing that almost EVERYBODY agrees on -- whether or not we voted for Donald Trump -- is that it is NOT OK for him to make national and international policy decisions based on how much it will help or hurt his personal business investments.
For this reason, we the undersigned call on our elected representatives from BOTH parties in Congress to demand that
1. President-elect Trump put his personal investments and assets into a blind trust while in the White House (as all his predecessors for the last 40 years have done) in order to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance thereof.
2. President-elect Trump immediately release his tax returns (as all his predecessors for the last 40 years have done) so that we can know in advance about his investments and potential conflicts of interest.
3. President-elect Trump and all his appointees conduct and all their official email correspondences on government servers, where these emails can be retrieved later if charges of corruption should arise.
President-elect Trump campaigned as a different kind of candidate who would "drain the swamp" of corruption by wealthy special interests in Washington DC. The purpose of these demands is to help him be successful in keeping the promises he made to ALL of us.
