John,
It’s time for Trump administration officials to stop coddling Donald Trump. Trump lost by more than 5 million votes, with President-elect Joe Biden capturing the highest percentage of the popular vote of a presidential challenger since FDR in 1932.[1]
More than 10 days since every major news outlet called the election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Trump appointee Emily Murphy―General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator―continues to obstruct the will of the people and the peaceful transfer of power, which our democracy is based on.
Read Frank’s email below, then donate to demand Emily Murphy immediately recognize President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, and provide them with the information and resources, which are critical to a safe transition to the next administration.
While we should not expect Donald Trump to ever fully accept the results of the election, that is not necessary for his administration to follow the law and the will of the people.
Thank you,
Andrea Haverdink

John,
On Saturday, November 7, all major news outlets called the presidential election for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Since then, additional states including Arizona and Georgia have been called for Biden-Harris, further-confirming the will of the people.
Joe Biden has captured the highest percentage of the popular vote of any presidential challenger since Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932.[1] He has equaled Trump’s 2016 “landslide” of 306 electoral votes. And yet, Trump and his minions continue to block the Biden-Harris transition team from accessing vital information and resources, which they are legally entitled to as part of the Presidential Transition Act of 1963.
Join Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund in demanding that Trump appointee, Emily Murphy―General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator―immediately recognize President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris. Donate today to fight back against this blatant obstruction, which is a threat to our lives and our democracy.
Yesterday, President-elect Biden said at a news conference that the Trump administration’s failure to coordinate on the transition means that “more people may die” from COVID-19.[2]
Last weekend, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has served through six administrations, voiced his concern that the Trump administration continues to block the Biden-Harris team’s access to critical information, including details about the COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution to over 300 million Americans.[3]
Trump’s own former National Security Advisor John Bolton indicated that “every day that [Trump] delays... ultimately is to the country's disadvantage,” discussing how this obstruction poses a national security risk.[4]
Emily Murphy has the authority to determine when the presidential election appears to have a winner so that the winner’s team gets the resources needed to run the transition, get national security briefings, and coordinate a national COVID-19 response plan with public health officials across the government so that the American people are protected on day-one of the Biden-Harris administration.
Donate today to fight back against the Trump administration’s blatant obstruction and disregard for the health and safety of the American people.
