Senator Rubio,

With the dizzying swirl of issues arising from Mr. Trump’s presidency, we are conveniently forgetting the fact that he has still neglected to release his tax returns. Every American citizen has a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of this country by paying federal taxes. Without being able to see Mr. Trump’s returns, the American people have no way of knowing whether or not he has contributed his fair share to the welfare of this country. Further, by not releasing his tax returns, Mr. Trump is hiding the business ties he has with foreign interests which may compromise his ability to govern with objectivity.

We are petitioning you, our state Republican representative in Washington D.C., to do your job and serve the American people by demanding the full disclosure of the last ten years of Mr. Trump’s federal, state, and local tax returns.

This is not a partisan issue; this is an American security issue. It is our right as citizens to demand transparency of our government and its leaders. Unless Mr. Trump is hiding something, there is no reason not to release his tax returns. On this tax day, we demand that Mr. Trump’s financial dealings step out from behind the shadows into the light.

Sincerely,

Your Constituents from the State of Florida

I am currently drafting a formal letter to Senator Rubio to ensure this petition reaches his staff directly. We are tracking the legislative status of S. 26 to identify the most effective pressure points for our follow-up communication.

I support making a new law to require the president to release tax records. I am an attorney and there are more requirements from the Florida bar association regarding possible ethics issues for me than the president . That is not acceptable .

We have never had a president with so many conflicts of interests. Why do you and your fellow GOP help him to keep them hidden? Party over country? All modern previous presidents have released theirs. Evidentially, they had nothing to hide and wanted the trust of the American citizens . Why wouldn't the president do the same?

Can't reform taxes if we don't know whether he'll personally gain from changes.

We are taxed, and it is ridiculous that the holder of the highest office in the land is refusing to show his tax returns. If you want to run for president, your privacy goes away. With great privilege comes great responsibility and, in this case, transparency. It's time President Trump honored historical precedent on this issue.

The American people deserve to see every President's taxes, and Floridians deserve to have politicians who listen to their constituents and act accordingly. Please stand up and do what's right.
