“The Taxpayer Protection Pledge is a simple statement that a congressman, a senator, a state legislator or governor or president, a candidate for office or an incumbent, signs and by doing so says, ‘I promise the voters of my state and the American people that I will vote against and oppose all efforts to raise net taxes.’”
President of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover G. Norquist is an influential voice among conservatives and a frequent commentator on conservative television and radio programs. Dedicated to limiting federal authority, he opposes any rise in taxes, and encourages conservative candidates to commit to a pledge not to raise taxes.
