Chicken Don for Tax March to Apple

Donation protected
Apr 15, noon-2pm, StarveTheGOP Trump Tax March to Apple Store 
Meet at Lytton Plaza - 200 University Ave, Palo Alto, California 94301
 
Donald Trump is too chicken to release his tax returns, and our Tax March to Apple needs a 13-foot-tall inflatable rooster to show the world just how big of a chicken our President is. We’re raising money to have the Trump chicken delivered to Palo Alto by April 15th, so we can feature him in our march to the Apple store to demand his tax returns. Chicken Don has been featured on Rachel Maddow's show, and is the iconic symbol of the Tax March nationwide.

Why are we marching to the Apple store?

We might assume that Apple Inc. would align with its diverse employees and shareholders, and with progressive values. CEO Tim Cook wrote to employees on January 28, 2017, stating that Trump's first travel ban "... is not a policy we support."

But Tim Cook, along with Gary Wipfler, Apple's Treasurer, hosted a private breakfast fundraiser for Speaker Paul Ryan in June 2016. This was after it was clear Trump was the GOP Presidential nominee! The money benefited not only the speaker but a joint fundraising committee that helped elect other House Republicans. Separately, in just 2016, Apple was responsible for $203,620 directly donated to GOP candidates. Apple joined other Silicon Valley companies in pouring millions into GOP coffers, second only to oil & gas companies. These dollars power the re-election campaigns of all Republicans in Congress, and for this reason, they vote almost entirely along party lines to keep Trump's taxes hidden!
