- Call the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office (202-512-5500) and tell them you’re calling in support of Senator Warren's request to audit the President Elect's finances for conflicts of interest. In addition email these two administrators and the Congrel email below:
Katherine Siggerud -email: siggerudk@gao.gov
Timothy Minelli -email: minellit@gao.gov
congrel@gao.gov
"I'm writing in support of Senator Elizabeth Warren's request for an audit of our incoming President Elect's finances, to prohibit conflicts of interest that would prevent him from carrying out the responsibilities of the office without corrupt influence."
- Senator Cardin has introduced a resolution in the Foreign Relations Committee that urges Trump to comply with requests to eliminate conflicts of interest.
Call your senators and ask them to support Cardin's resolution. Alert people you know in Kentucky, Tennessee, Idaho, Florida, Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Wyoming, who'd be willing to call their Republican senators on the Foreign Relations Committee. The full list is here: http://www.foreign.senate.gov/about/committee-membership
Here is a script: ”My name is [NAME] and I am calling to let the Senate Foreign Relations Committee know that I support Senator Cardin’s resolution to ensure that our president-elect’s foreign dealings do not violate the US Constitution. Trump’s financial dealings could pose a threat to our national security."
2. Reps. Clark and Nadler have co-sponsored House Bill 6340 to require Trump to address his conflicts of interest, and the bill is currently being considered by the House Judiciary Committee. If you have not already done so, contact your representative (not your senator) and ask them to support this bill.
Script: "Hi, my name is [NAME] and I'm your constituent at [ADDRESS]. I'm calling to express my strong concern about President-Elect Trump's many conflicts of interest. House Bill 6340 would require him to address these conflicts of interest. I strongly urge you to support this bill. Thank you."
This bill is still in committee, so if your Rep isn't on the judiciary committee you will be asking for their future support.
You can also call the House Judiciary Committee at (202)225-3951 and use the same script. If you can't get through, call one of the Republicans on the committee and explain that the committee number is down. If a rep in the committee is in your state, call them too. The members are here:
