If you want to support Senator Warren's request to audit President-Elect Trump's finances for conflicts of interest, a friend of mine contacted the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office. She was told over the phone that the most effective way to be sure her support counted was to email two administrators, Katherine Siggerud and Timothy Minnelli. Their email addresses are:
siggerudk@gao.gov,
minellit@gao.gov.
There is a third email, congrel@gao.gov, through which they are tracking the number of people who were urging support for an audit.
You can send one email addressed to:
siggerudk@gao.gov, minnellit@gao.gov, congrel@gao.gov

Re: Audit for President-Elect Trump's financial concerns
Dear Ms. Siggerud and Mr. Minnelli,
Im writing in support of Senator Elizabeth Warren's request for an audit of our incoming President-Elect Trump's finances, to prohibit conflicts of interest that would prevent him from carrying out the responsibilities of the office without corrupt influence.
Sincerely,
****
Of course you may reword the letter, but it's easier to start with a template.
Feel free to spread the word!!

(10,749 posts)The GAO gets its funding from Congress. Newt Gingrich led their cut in funding in the 1990s, which gutted GAO, because he didn't agree with what they wrote about something - not sure of the details. If they take this on, there has to be some guarantee that the republican-led Congress will not cut their funding. trump and his republican toadies take vindictiveness to new heights (lows?), so caution might be called for here.
