A senior House Democrat on Wednesday promised to introduce legislation requiring all presidential candidates to release a decade of their tax returns. The effort by Rep. Sandy Levin (Mich.), the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, is aimed at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has come under increasing pressure to release more of his returns. “The stunning lack of transparency from someone in pursuit of the highest office in the country highlights the need to change the law to require fuller disclosure,” Levin said in a statement.

Yea smart move. Show Obama's inexperience? No worry though, it will
never be reported by the press.

How about a bill that would require just one look at the presidents birth certificate?

let’s require anyone running for Congress to release 10 yrs of tax returns as well since I just read an article that 19 out of 535 Congress members released their tax returns. Yet old Pelosi screaming for Mitt to release more then 2yrs...while she hasn’t released hers at all...

Repubs can play along with this; the minute the Dem Congress members see the amendment and would have to release theirs, it will be dead in the water...

So amend away I say.....

Kerry submitted two years when he ran for President; however he did release returns while serving in Congress. Total of 20 returns. However, his wife, his has the money, didn’t release any of her returns.
