Trump wants $10 billion from taxpayers

TAKE ACTION: Write a letter to your local newspaper to STOP Trump from stealing $10 billion of your taxpayer dollars >> TAKE ACTION Pamela, right now, President Trump is trying to force his administration to hand him $10 billion of your tax dollars – and we need your help to speak out. No president should be allowed to treat taxpayer money like a personal slush fund. If Trump gets his way in Trump v. IRS, it will open the door for him or future presidents to bully agencies they oversee into handing over billions in taxpayer money. It should never have to come to this – but Congress needs to act now to stop the President from making off with our money. Lawmakers must publicly condemn Trump’s outrageous lawsuit and pass the Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act – a new bill that would ban presidents and vice presidents from abusing their power to steal taxpayer money. Will you join us in demanding better? Write a letter to the editor today and demand accountability before this corruption becomes the new normal >> TAKE ACTION Pamela, writing a letter to your local paper is one of the biggest ways to directly make an impact with your time. It mobilizes fellow constituents by getting your values and priorities in front of other readers in your area. Also – and this is one of the secrets of Washington – members of Congress especially care when their names are mentioned in their hometown papers. That means your letter will likely show up in their staff’s press digest and leave a lasting impression. We’ll help every step of the way. Based on your location, we’ll suggest nearby newspapers that accept letters to the editor and provide guidance, sample arguments, and tips to help you write a powerful letter in minutes. Once you’re done, you can submit it with just a few clicks.
