Stop Trump’s dishonest attempt to declare martial law

Limit Golfing and Other Vacation Time on Public Money

Congress should place limits on vacation days for all political leaders but especially, at this time, for the president. The American people shouldn't be paying for weekly golf meets and everything that goes with that!
