Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. Grover Norquist group American for Tax Reform and the United State Commerce both oppose the Employee Free Choice Act.
“Chamber president Thomas Donohue has turned the organization into a key ally of the Bush-era corporate agenda that has empowered Big Business at the expense of workers. The Chamber has made opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act its top priority.” http://www.aflcio.org/joinaunion/voiceatwork/efca/against_list.cfm
Alliance for Worker Freedom is an arm of American for Tax Reform. American for Tax Reform is a group that seeks to limit the federal government’s ability to protect workers and consumers and ensure economic fairness.
“We’re going to crush labor as a political entity.” –Grover Norquist, founder and president of ATR http://www.aflcio.org/joinaunion/voiceatwork/efca/against_list.cfm
American Tax Reform is a group that opposes all taxes and promotes limited government. Grover Norquist, President has a questionable history with this group. ATR group calls themself a 501 (c)(4) group. This means they are a non-profit lobbyist organization in which all donations made to the group are considered tax-deductible but wait a second the The Americans for Tax Reform Foundation is a 501(c)(3). Supposedly under 501(c)(3).
The ATR Foundation is used for research and educational organization, and all contributions to the Americans for Tax Reform Foundation are tax-deductible as allowed by federal laws.
Americans for Tax Reform’s mission statement: “ATR opposes all tax increases as a matter of principle. We believe in a system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, flatter, more visible, and lower than they are today. The government’s power to control one’s life derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be minimized… ATR serves as a national clearinghouse for the grassroots taxpayers’ movement by working with approximately 800 state and county level groups.”
Would you be surprised that I could find very little on the American Tax Reform Foundation. Well I did find a complaint: Norquist used either or both ATR and ATR Foundation as commercial enterprises by laundering money derived from Indian casino clients of former lobbyist and convicted felon Jack Abramoff. The casinos made contributions to ATR, which then skimmed a fee off the top before passing the money on to former Christian activist Ralph Reed and other anti-gambling activists. In this way, Norquist, Reed and Abramoff were able to disguise the fact that the money used to fund anti-gambling activities was generated through Indian gambling. The point of the anti-gambling campaigns was to prevent competition to the Indian casinos.

thanks for the list of traitors,hope to see an updated one somewhere soon….will post as often as i can for anyone who cares about who has infiltrated the offices of government,rejected their oath to the American people and commit treason against them
Link to new list has been added
Please remove my name from the list of those elected officials from Hawaii who signed the Norquist pledge. i was asked to sign up and declined. I also will be contacting the Norquist headquarters and asking them to correct the Hawaii list.
Mahalo,
Rep. Cynthia Thielen
No wonder they’re stonewalling on the hill. All those who signed loyalty to Norquist have turned their back on the Americans. Thank god my representives did not sign the bogus pledge. I don’t remember ever telling Mr. Norquist that he spoke for me. Everything I’ve read lately points to the fact that Norquist is on the side of the very rich and those who don’t need to work… the 1%ers.
Shame on all of those who signed. Stop holding this country hostage and get off your asses and come up with a workable solution!! That’s what you get paid to do… DO YOUR JOBS!
Amen Brother! My feeling exactly!
Norquist has our representatives by the Balls and they could care less for the 99% of Americans.
I’ve been studying architecture for over 30 years. It is safe to say that this building is the most aspiring one on the planet. Visit it once and you will agree with me!
thankfully. none of my reps signed the pledge.
That list has been updated so you may want to look again.
Wish I could say the same. Texas is overrun with these mindless politicians. They forget that they are foremost pledged to uphold the constitution AND to represent their constitutients – NOT one greedy man who misused funds from the Indian tribes!!!
Glad to see no names from NY as signers…
You may want to look again their are some NY signers. NY was just one of the last states to turn in their infor.
Is it possible to have an updated list of members of congress who have signed Grover Norquist’s tax pledge? Thanks!
Sure thing
I believe it is unconstitutional for our elected legislators to make a pledge to this organization, which has no legitimacy in our government. No one has elected Grover Norquist to run America’s economic policy. This private, non-government entity has as it mission to secure their votes to undermine the economy of the United States. Our legislators should only be taking their approved oaths of office, and no other.
Mary Kremer is not a State Senator in Oregon. She won the Republican primary, lost in the general election.
Grover was also signing all those who were running for primaries as well, and Republicans to prove themselves they would sign those Pledges. So you may have potential candidates who signed before primaries. You also have some that signed after their primaries, and even after winning their elections those that did not sign are signing on to Norquists Pledge.
You have people from Governors, mayors, coucil people to you federal elective officials signed to different pledge lists.
ALREADY IN A STATE NEAR YOU! AND THIS LIST IS FROM 11/27/2010!!!!! YIKES!
Great blog! I definitely love how it’s easy on my eyes and also the information are well written. I am wondering how I may be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which ought to do the trick! Have a nice day!
