One of our speakers for the upcoming 2015 ISFLC February 13th-15th  will be Grover Norquist! 

Grover Norquist is the president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), a taxpayer advocacy group he founded in 1985 at President Reagan’s request. ATR works to limit the size and cost of government and opposes higher taxes at the federal, state, and local levels and supports tax reform that moves towards taxing consumed income one time at one rate.  ATR organizes the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which asks all candidates for federal and state office to commit themselves in writing to the American people to oppose all tax increases. In the 113th Congress, 219 House members and 41 Senators have taken the pledge. On the state level, 14 governors and 1,035 state legislators have taken the pledge. Norquist chairs the Washington, DC – based “Wednesday Meeting,” a weekly gathering of more than 150 elected officials, political activists, and movement leaders. The meeting started in 1993 and takes place in ATR’s conference room. There are now 60 similar “center-right” meetings in 48 states. He is the author of Rock the House, Taxes: The Economic & Philosophical Necessity of Real Reform, Leave Us Alone: Getting the Governments Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives, and Debacle: Obama’s War on Jobs and Growth and What We Can Do Now to Regain Our Future.
