CREW to Presidential Candidates: Disclose Tax Returns
In light of Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) release of his tax returns this week, CREW urges the remaining presidential candidates, Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and John McCain (R-AZ), to release their returns as well. When running for president, candidates must be willing to put all their cards on the table. We encourage Sens. Clinton and McCain to do so now.
Below, CREW has compiled a list of presidential and vice presidential candidates who have released their returns since 1992.
*Note: This list does not include incumbent presidents and vice presidents, who typically release their tax returns during each year of their administration.

AND CREW IF THEY DO NOT.............
I say get out a lawsuit on Hillary Clinton and John McCain, this is inexcusable and there should be absolutely no reason to hide tax returns if they are credible.

Obama's records release
I was surprised that CREW has not even discussed the fact that Barack Obama refuses to release his Occidental & Columbia College records, Harvard Law School records, selective service and medical records, thesis and most important of all: his original legal birth certificate.
The highest office in the free world is about to be filled and his refusal to cooperate by releasing his birth certificate leads Americans to believe Barack Obama is Kenyan or Indonesian. Won't CREW help persuade Obama to cooperate? It is my understanding that Obama has actually requested that his records be sealed permanently. Why?
