ACTION: For those of you who want to support the long precedent of US Presidents refraining from personal gain and eliminating conflicts of interest see below for another easy action to take -- it takes about 30 seconds:
Support Senator Warren's request to audit President Trump's finances for conflicts of interest. The woman who answered the phone at the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office said the most effective way to be sure my support counted was t...o email two administrators, Katherine Siggerud and Timothy Minnelli.
Their email addresses are:
siggerudk@gao.gov
minellit@gao.gov
There is a third email address through which they're tracking people who are urging support for the audit -- congrel@gao.gov.
Or, you can send ONE email addressed to:
siggerudk@gao.gov, minnellit@gao.gov, congrel@gao.gov
Subject line: Audit for President Trump's financial concerns
Dear Ms. Siggerud and Mr. Minnelli,
I’m writing in support of Senator Elizabeth Warren's request for an audit of our incoming President Trump's finances, to prohibit conflicts of interest that would prevent him from carrying out the responsibilities of the office without corrupt influence.
Sincerely,
And please copy-paste this post to share. If you just click "share", then only the overlap of my friends and yours can see it.
This really took about 30 seconds to do. An audit is essential immediately.

This is scary and becoming worse than we thought.
The Betsy DeVos confirmation vote was delayed due to the congressional ethics review revealing that she has ONE HUNDRED AND TWO major conflicts of interest, including financial stake in for-profit education that she has declined to disentangle herself from.
This is not someone we can trust to play fair with young people's chances. The hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will now be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 31, according to an advisory from the... committee.
If possible, give your senators a call and tell them how you feel about DeVos. If three Republican senators vote no for DeVos, she won't be confirmed.

It was quite extraordinary to be there. Millions of people showed up for these marches around the country and the world and this is just the beginning. Never before has their been a man so temperamentally unfit to hold the office of President as this man. His movement that he talks of is not a movement, his movement is not America. His movement of hate, racism, divisiveness, fear and building walls is small and petty like the man himself. What we saw yesterday was the real America: Women, Minorities, Disabled, LGBT, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Mexicans, Immigrants, Brown, Black, a progressive and inclusive America and there are more of us than there are of them. Keep Fighting.
American singer Cher, British actress Emma Watson and American singer Katy Perry among other high profile celebrities and politicians joined hundreds of thousands of women and men and marched the streets of Washington, D.C.
if you care that the President has refused to release his tax returns sign this petition today. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/…/immediately-release-dona…

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
- Issac Asimov
