"The voters in Texas should pay close attention to Jay Old's promises," said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. "He promises to join Democrats in spending more of your hard-earned money if he gets to Washington. He refuses to promise that he will stand with taxpayers against the special interests and tax hikes in Washington. At this point, it's only logical to assume that if he won't sign the Pledge then he's leaving the door open to pay for his higher spending agenda with higher taxes."

"By supporting the Simpson-Bowles tax hike recommendations, Jim Pendergraph demonstrates that he is out of touch with the taxpayers of North Carolina," said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. "Voters should know that by voting for Pendergraph in the July run-off, they are voting for a candidate who has raised taxes locally and promises to do tax hikes on a much larger scale if he gets to Washington."
