January 11, 2017 The Call Demand Congress go on record that President-Elect Trump’s failure to fully divest is unacceptable and will lead to Constitutional crisis. Your Action Call your senators and house member. Script “Hello. My name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent of [Sen. or Rep. _____]. I’m calling because I’m concerned about the President-Elect’s decision to not fully divest his foreign business interests. I believe that this decision leaves the door wide open to the corrosive influence of foreign money on the executive branch. Our Founders specifically included language in the Constitution to make sure foreign governments could not influence the executive branch through payments or gifts of any kind. I urge [Sen. or Rep. _____] to use his/her voice in Congress over the coming week to go on record that the President-Elect must fully divest his foreign assets, put them in a truly blind trust or step down as President-Elect. Thank you for your time.”
