Now if you are going to be someone that can raise taxes on ALL Americans I would say releasing your own tax records, as is custom, would be something that would be of great interest to all voters.
Apply for a position in education and they will want your transcripts attached to that application.
Doesn't matter that have a BS degree and have been working in industry 20+ years, they seem to treat anyone who applies as a first time hire out of college. Yes, they want transcripts with GPA numbers.

I am demanding - and if my demands are not met I will vote to fire the president - just as my employer could do if I did not provide information that they wished to see as a condition of employment.

There is no need for me to personally go to the White House - the corporate will of the people has already been made known.

Hmmm, not my field and that would make sense since it is a related field. That said, I highly doubt Harrier is an educator of any sort and I have heard of no other sector that does this.

In reality, there is no accountability to the people by government; because the people are simply peasants who are deceived into thinking they have some say in their lives.
Do you really think your vote matters? Do you also believe in the tooth fairy?
IMO campaigns matter more so than an individual vote.

It is true that only an individual can release their own transcripts - but an employer can require them as a hiring precondition. As the people who make the hiring decision - we as voters can request that a candidate release their records if they wish to get our vote.

Also - since he voters are the public - as well as those who hire the president - releasing the transcripts to the public would not be an issue.
I have no desire to see his transcripts but I sure would like to see his enrollment forms from Occidental. I care not what grades he got that would be all his transcripts would show, but I sure would like to see what nationality he signed up as.

So you don't agree with the Democrats about Romney's tax returns. I guess you must not be as much of a leaner as sometimes appears to be the case.

So you don't think an employer should be concerned about the nation you use as your home when you enroll? Of course, you don't know that transcripts and enrollment forms aren't the same thing. Since I was born in this nation and my Army records indicate such I guess no school I worked for bothered to go back any further than that.

I really care about Obama's enrollment forms at Occidental and since he said that when a man hides anything about his past he must have something to hide I think he may well have something to hide. We gave him a pass not the BC and after coming up with one that didn't work he finally came up with the one that all you people talk about and although I don't seem to be convinced that Arpaio is wrong about some things on it I would much rather see those enrollment forms. If he lied about his nationality on them to get money he performed an act of fraud and is a criminal. We need those things before he is coronated that one final time, I think.

Well yeah, but you aren't over 50 yet either. Times change and some people don't know that.

You just let the cat out of the bag, it seems. Maybe you didn't mean what you said, though.

My Top Secret in the Army in the middle 50s didn't ask me for anything, but the FBI people were in my high school town and college town. I really don't know what they asked of people, though.

I'm more left than most democrats, and I don't agree with them on Romney's tax returns.

If he releases them and there's something fraudulent on there, then yes, pursue that line of thought. Until then, it's a non-issue.
