US Senate non-Candidate Rand Paul to Sign Taxpayer Protection Pledge
Non-candidate for US Senate Rand Paul has announced that he will sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. The pledge is a commitment of public officials that they will "solemnly bind themselves to oppose any and all tax increases." While the Pledge is promoted and monitored by Americans for Tax Reform, "the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is actually made to a candidate's constituents, who are entitled to know where candidates stand before sending them to the capitol."
Here is the pledge and Paul's announcement:
I _____ pledge to the taxpayers of the __________ district, of the state of __________, and to all the people of this state, that I will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.”
Dr. Paul’s signing of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is a momentous occasion for his campaign. It constitutes an opportunity to reinforce Rand Paul’s promise to Kentucky voters that he will protect their freedom and personal liberties with every decision he makes and every vote that he casts. Liberty thrives under limited interference from the government, especially where taxes are concerned, and Rand Paul understands this truth.
