plan of action, march 29, 3017

1. That Man’s Tax Returns

There is a Resolution in Committee in the House - H. Res. 186 - which would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to release to the House copies of Trump’s tax returns for the last ten years, as well as other information relating to his finances.
​
Action:

Call your Member of Congress to ask him/her to co-sponsor H.Res. 186.

2. Neil Gorsuch

In order for Neil Gorsuch to be confirmed as the next Supreme Court justice, his nomination will first have to clear a filibuster. There will have to be 60 votes in favor of “cloture,” which means cutting off debate and ending a filibuster.

Here’s an article in Politico which explains a bit more about the procedure.

Action:

​Contact (phone, fax, or email) your Senators (regardless of party) and ask them to vote “NO on cloture” for Gorsuch.
