Tell the Treasury Department To Investigate U.S. Links in the Panama Papers (Petition)

Credo Action
April 9, 2016


More than 11 million documents from the secretive Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca were leaked to international journalists, and more than 140 world leaders, public officials and major celebrities have been implicated already.
The documents, spanning almost 30 years, expose how the world's elite use fake corporations called "shell companies" to launder money, evade sanctions, hide wealth, and dodge taxes.

While US Government officials insist they are aware of the scandal, there is little indication that they are taking action.

But now, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) are demanding that the Treasury Department investigate U.S. links in the Panama Papers, and we need to stand with them.

Stand with Senator Warren and Senator Brown.
Tell the treasury Department to investigate U.S. links in the Panama Papers


PETITION TO TREASURY SECRETARY JACOB LEW:
"Exercise your full authority to investigate whether any U.S. or U.S.-linked company or person involved with Mossack Fonseca may have facilitated money laundering, terrorist financing or any other illegal activity, including any U.S. designated persons."

I doubt many if any Hillary supporters will sign.

These are nothing but GOP talking points.

We're only helping the GOP.

They don't realize Hillary ALONE is helping the GOP win this.

our corporate media isn't even reporting on it.

THEY SHOULD BE COVERING THIS WITH SINGLE MINDED INTENSITY.
