Friend, Donald Trump just unveiled a budget proposal that would hammer
public education and steal health care from millions, including
children.

But he has no problem spending taxpayer dollars on regular golfing
trips to properties he owns and profits from.

Progressive Rep. Ted Lieu is out to change that with a new bill that
deserves our immediate support: The Stop Waste And Misuse by the
President (SWAMP) Act of 2017.

Sign the petition from CREDO and Daily Kos to Congress: Make Trump pay
for his golf trips.

SIGN THE PETITION


Trump is on pace to spend more on his personal trips in just one year
than President Obama spent in all eight years combined. Every trip to
Mar-a-Lago costs $3.7 million. That astonishing amount does not even
include the cost of air travel and overtime for local law enforcement.
Trump has also spent more than $20 million in taxpayer dollars on
trips to Trump Tower in New York.

On top of it all, he forces the Secret Service to pay tens of
thousands of dollars to rent golf carts while he plays. And he is
doing all this after spending years demonizing President Obama for
daring to golf a handful of times.

Rep. Lieu's bill would require Trump to reimburse taxpayers for every
cent spent on travel to properties he owns. No more racking up huge
costs while cutting Meals on Wheels. No more lining his own pockets
while kicking children off health care. No more expensive hypocrisy
while people experiencing homelessness lose a lifeline. We need to put
a giant spotlight on Trump's outrageous behavior by getting behind
this bill in a big way.

Tell Congress: Make Trump pay for his golf trips.

SIGN THE PETITION


Trump's budget would cut Social Security, end Medicaid as we know it,
slash $11 billion from public education, and axe everything from Pell
Grants for low-income students to food stamps, medical research,
student loans, fossil fuel emissions reduction, and programs that
offer a lifeline to those experiencing illness, homelessness, poverty,
or disability.

But spending millions golfing every weekend and lining his own pockets
in the process? Trump is fine with that.

Tell Congress: Make Trump pay for his golf trips.

SIGN THE PETITION


Thank you for speaking out,
