Senator Clinton recently loaned $5 million to her campaign. Senator Obama released his tax returns and asked Senator Clinton to do the same. For some reason Senator Clinton has refused begging the question, “where did the $5 million come from?” As citizens of the U.S. we should expect the candidates to provide us with full disclosure before casting a vote or making a donation to any candidate. Please sign the petition, “Senator Clinton, We Respectfully Request Full Disclosure.”
Do the right thing and release them NOW before the March 4th primary for Texas and Ohio. Let’s have FULL DISCLOSURE by both nominees of all tax returns!

Tax returns reveal a lot of information, even though we won’t know the whole story. When I heard the donation of $5M I also wanted to know where all this money came from. The American people need to know. You need to disclose your tax returns.

If as you say, Senator Clinton, actions speak louder than words, what does your refusal to disclose your tax records speak to the American people? And if words don’t matter, why did you make such a big issue of words in a speech and who uttered them first? I sent you an open letter over a month ago entitled “Words do Matter” in which I quoted the same Americans as Senator Obama Governor Patrick. Maybe Barack plagiarized the quotes from me. Or maybe he got them from one of the history classes he took in school. Of course, you and I are old enough to have heard and remember when they were originally spoken. That is, all except the quote from the constitution. Thomas Jefferson was a little before my time.

Not only should Sen. Clinton release her information she should admit that her campaign has paid illegal immigrant women in Los Angeles to hand out flyers at $10 a day. She is taking advantage of the people she wants to deport. Is that the price Sen. Clinton puts on women? $10, is that the price Latinas are worth? Her campaign has spent money hiring people, I have seen them and spoke to them. I do not blame people who need the money, I blame corrupt politicians such as Sen. Clinton and her husband who try to buy their votes and support.

Please release your tax returns or explain to the public why you wish to keep them private until the democratic nomination is secured.
I just don’t understand this move because this is bound to raise some questions and hurt her candidacy, so the only logical explanation I can see is that releasing the returns hurts her candicacy even more.

Senator Hillary: Please, we need to know and make sure that Democrats will win the November election and unless you release your tax return, I cannot find any confidence that nothing secretive will come up should you become nominated.
I think it is fair for all Democrats and in the sake of protecting the Democratic party to not allowing any person become nominated unless his or her personal financial records are public. We just cannot afford another loss to Republicans.

You have a lot of experience at doing that (White Water), you and Bill really know what to do when it comes to skirting another scandal (I don’t recall, I didn’t realize the white house china wasn’t mine, It’s all how you define sex and perjury) but your actions speak louder than your words – refusing to release your tax returns speaks volumes (chinese campaign scandal, Huang, and rezko (pot calling the kettle black).

Show us by your action now that your white house will truly be committed to transparency by releasing your tax returns like all the other candidates. If you cannot do that, then you simply should not expect us the voting public to consider you a good candidate for the president of united states of america.

I think you people got it all wrong, if honesty is listening to BO’s speeches that are copy’s of the Kennedy era, and BO is going to lead this country using principals from the 1960’s we are in big trouble. This is not leadership and does not show leadership. Hillary does exhibit leadership and can speak from her heart and brain, not from a teleprompter like BO. You can ask Hillary anything on the spot, and there is a honest reply to it. We all have faults and past’s. Do we drag ourselves down every day thinking oh I messed up, NO we get over it and move on, the same as Hillary has if America would only give her that chance to prove it and stop all this negative BS. No where does it state she has to supply anyone with her tax records or is it a law that you must. The woman clearly wrote a book, has an income as a Senator, her Husband draws a pension from the White House as a retired President, they could sneeze or fart 5,000.00 compared to you and I. This is just stupid nit picking and the kind of government BO will have us all under if he wins. I for one can not believe how childish and stupid American’s have become that you would bicker or cost someone an election over a tax return. I think there is more to being President than a tax return, did General George Washington turn over his tax returns and show how he bought his wooden teeth. I think NOT. SO GET OVER IT AMERICA it’s 2008, not the 1960’s or 1800’s. If you really want to move forward, forget the past, don’t use the past to judge what the future can hold, or at the cost of Americans. We all Deserve the same, not just some like BO’s Health Care Plan. VOTE FOR HILLARY BEFORE ITS TO LATE AND DONT LEAVE OUT OVER 15,000 AMERICANS.

This kind of secretive tactic by Hillary should not be allowed. Where is the media when she pulls things like this? Can you imagine if Barack refused to show his income tax return? They would never stop talking about it. But Hillary gets a free pass. Why? I don’t understand this double-standard. Everyone should be outraged that someone seeking the highest office in the land can be allowed to be so secretive with information we all have a right to know about. If her 5 million dollar “loan” to her campaign was proper then why won’t she release her income tax return?? Something smells very fishy about this and it is time the American people make these crooked politicians cough up the truth.

Please release your tax returns and be honest with the Americans you wish to lead. Don’t use negative adds that are useless and meaningless.

We as citizens have the right to know where your finance money came from US Info, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan. You sound more like Bush everyday. You also need to release your so called EXPERIENCE. You told us they would be out in January it’s almost March.

Senator Clinton,
I must say that I have never given you a chance. I wouldn’t even be voting if Obama was running. However, I don’t like harboring anger against anyone. I must admit that I feel strongly about you being the status quo, and seeing your refusal to disclose your tax returns doesn’t do much for making me give you a chance.
I know you don’t care much about what I say now because I’m not voting for you in the primary, but if you want a lot of disaffected youth to even turn out to vote in the general election (for you, I mean, if you get the nomination), now’s your chance to start convincing us of some kind of good will.
By: Marcos Duran on February 20, 2008

If she’s not releasing her tax returns, this clearly means that she has something to hide! Full stop! She gets money from lobbies so, is she will become president, she will have to favour those people who gave her the money! Simple! Obama does not accept the money from special interests groups! That means he’s not an easy guy to corrupt! He’s onest. He considers every human being the same, every state the same (not just the big ones!)

There is a lot of legitimate concern about this because the Clinton’s income and wealth has skyrocketed the past couple of years.

Dear Senator Clinton,
I am one of those who changed my support from you to Senator Obama for the primary question of trustworthiness. I read two autobiographies of you, one of which was authorized, and came to the conclusion that not being forthcoming is a recurrent theme in your political career. If you are even to hope of winning voters like me, release of your tax returns, no matter what they show, is more important than what they show. I would think this is a lesson that you would have learned from your husband’s administration and your handling of whitewater, etc. Withholding complete information only makes matters worse and detracts from the real job to be done.
I am among the demographics that you claim as supporters, older, female, educated.

Senator Clinton, kindly submitt your tax return so that the few gullible minorities who are sticking by you can open their eyes and see what the rest of us have perceived. You owe that much to them. Please don’t do a George Bush and let all the crap hit the fan after the fact.
But we really don’t have to worry about that because you won’t ever get a chance to “bear all”.

To lead a great country like the United States of America, you must be transparent and we should be able to trust you.
