The list of items that Senator Clinton refuses to disclose just continues to grow and grow. Now she has declined to release all her past 'earmarks' on legislation even though both McCain and Obama have disclosed their 'earmarks'. This joins an ever-growing list of refusals to release tax returns, donors to the Clinton Foundation as well as donors to the Clinton Library. In addition, papers in the library concerning programs in which she claims she was involved while First Lady, will not be disclosed.

The 'earmarks' in many ways represent programs that one might have carried for the special interests. John Riley of Newsday says:

"Close observers of yesterday's reports on the efforts of McCain and Obama to get Sen. Clinton to disclose her earmark requests going back to 2001 may have noticed a strange thing about the statement her office issued at the end of the day. It said all manner of things about earmarks, and moratoriums, and funding, and accountability. But it never said whether she would disclose her earmark requests going back to 2001. (See after the jump). We spent today back-and-forthing a few more times by e-mail with her press office, and the exchanges made it pretty clear that the oversight was intentional. The plan seems to be that since the NY press has never obsessed over Hillary's earmark requests, she can safely not release them as long as she doesn't say she won't and doesn't say why she won't."

It is becoming increasingly clear that Senator Clinton intends to avoid potential issues in her campaign by covering it in secrecy. But Democrats have a right and even an urgency to know any possible hidden issues before we take on the Republicans.

• *Who are the foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation and Library? *Have there been oil money donations to those Clinton entities?
  *Why won't she release papers on the healthcare battle in the early days of the Administration -when she constantly sites it as one of her major achievements?
  *How did the Clintons build a fortune over the last years of public service which made it possible for her to loan her own campaign five million dollars?

We have heard all the arguments why she can't release them but none of the excuses have a leg on which to stand. Do any of us believe if the archivists at the Clinton Foundation and Library would not release papers if the President or Senator asked them to?

Our readers - by the largest margin ever in a davidmixner.com poll - want the secrecy to end. An astounding 78.9% of those polled want her to release her tax returns immediately. That is a margin of 57.8%! The time has come for those tax returns, papers, earmarks and contributors to be known to the Democrats before they are known to the Republicans!
