The word is out that the NY Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, is looking into Donald Trump’s violations of the emoluments clause of the constitution (the clause that says that the president may not receive gifts or other personal favors from foreign governments). To do this, they need public support. Apparently, in this case it doesn’t matter whether you live in New York state, you just have to be an American.
If you want to do this, you can contact them by phone at 212-416-6218 or send email to nyag.consumerbureau@ag.ny.gov (you can do both for added impact). You don’t need a long message, just ask them to investigate Trump’s possible violations of the Emoluments Clause.
UPDATE: For more information on how this could work see this article Trump can be held accountable for violating the Constitution, even if Congress doesn’t care.

Done and Done!
Another good article about Schneiderman, “Will This Man Take Down Donald Trump?”
Yes, I read that article, not sure when, and was cheering him on then. I don’t care what it takes, but something needs to be done about lil D and his cronies.
And for heavens sake, will someone please explain how insurance works to the Republicans. Who knew that they had no idea what it was. No wonder they can’t figure out how to make it work.
