TAX MARCH: April 15th "Trump, release your taxes!"

Last edited Thu Apr 13, 2017, 12:31 AM - Edit history (1)

www.taxmarch.org - find your locally organized march for this Saturday.

Trump’s adviser Kellyanne Conway accidentally inspired a law professor and a comedian to convince thousands of people to take to the streets this Saturday to demand that the president release his tax returns.

The day after attending January’s Women’s March in Boston, Jennifer Taub was proudly looking at photos and coverage online when a video of Conway popped up.

Conway, Trump’s former campaign manager, declared that Trump was “not going to release his tax returns” and that voters didn’t care.

“That annoyed me ... people do care,” said Taub, a law professor at Vermont Law School, whose research and teachings focuses on corruption, corporate political spending and the links between politics and money.

Buoyed by the huge turnout at the Women’s March, she posted on Twitter.

Plus, I think we all have it in our mind that April 15th is the official tax day.

But, our government can force him to, but our government is in the hands of rightwingers who do not care about the country or patriotism and care only about their own warped agenda.

When women are dying in back alleys and it is easier to be hit by lightning than to vote while black, then and only then will they find patriotism.

but the republican Tax-&-Draft Dodger-in-Chief is contributing not one penny to the public pot. Instead, he is squandering our tax dollars on his freaking luxury republican golf outings week after freaking week.

I need to sell at least 2 to cover all my expenses. (At least $33 for round-trip train trip)

I have them in multiple colors now (blue/green for the upcoming climate change marches and rainbow for Pride events).

I hope I'm not competing with you in NYC.

I have a large shopping bag full of them.

Whether or not we ever know about that or any action is taken against him, is another story.
