Tax Fighters Reject Barbara Boxer’s 28-Year Record of Support for Higher Taxes, Endorse Carly Fiorina for Senate

SACRAMENTO, CA - Two of the most prominent tax-fighting organizations in California, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA) and the National Tax-Limitation Committee (NTLC), today held a press conference in Sacramento rejecting Barbara Boxer’s 28-year record of support for higher taxes and instead endorsing Carly Fiorina, a proven fiscal conservative.

“Barbara Boxer is no friend of California taxpayers. During her nearly three decades in Washington, Boxer has consistently fought for higher taxes on California’s families and businesses, and, despite these difficult economic times, she clearly plans to continue championing bigger government funded by our taxpayer dollars,” said HJTA President Jon Coupal. “This November, we have the opportunity to finally replace this tax-and-spend liberal with a fiscal conservative: Carly Fiorina. As a U.S. senator, Carly is committed to standing with California’s taxpayers, and that is why we are endorsing her today.”

Originally called the California Tax Reduction Movement, HJTA is today supported by more than 250,000 taxpayers. HJTA is dedicated to advancing taxpayers’ rights, including the right to limited taxation, the right to vote on tax increases and the right of economical, equitable and efficient use of taxpayer dollars.

“For California taxpayers, the choice in our U.S. Senate race couldn’t be clearer: Barbara Boxer, a politician who has spent her three-decades-long political career voting for higher taxes and more government spending, versus Carly Fiorina, a strong fiscal conservative who will vote against higher taxes on our state’s families and enterprises,” said NTLC Founder and President Lew Uhler. “Californians simply cannot afford another six years of Barbara Boxer’s tax-hiking, big-spending policies; Carly, on the other hand, will ardently defend our state’s taxpayers, and we are proud to endorse her today.”

NTLC was established in 1975 to provide national leadership in fighting for limited government, lower tax rates and reduced government spending. The Committee’s mission is to help achieve the optimal size and functions of government and to promote candidates and initiatives that support these goals.

Also endorsing Fiorina today was the California Taxpayer Protection Committee, a loose-knit organization of individual volunteers and affiliated groups who believe that government spending is out of control, taxes are too high and new borrowing is not the answer.

Added California Taxpayer Protection Committee Executive Director Tom Hudson, “Unlike Barbara Boxer, who has spent more than a generation in Congress voting for higher taxes, more government spending programs and fiscally irresponsible accounting gimmicks, Carly Fiorina shares our commitment to reining in out-of-control federal spending, lowering taxes and pursuing fiscally responsible policies that will not burden our children and our grandchildren with higher and higher debt. Carly will go to Washington to fight for and defend our fellow taxpayers, and that’s why we are proud to give her our strongest support.”

“When a teenager develops a spending problem, responsible parents will cut up his credit card. Likewise, our nation’s taxpayers are cutting up Washington’s credit card. With our debt and our deficit hitting record levels, Americans are calling for an end to Barbara Boxer’s 28-year record of championing big-government policies that do little else besides take more money out of taxpayers’ wallets,” said Fiorina. “I’ve pledged not to vote for new or increased taxes as a member of the U.S. Senate because I believe we’ve sent Washington enough of our money. It’s time we hold our government accountable for how it spends our money, and I look forward to working with my fellow tax fighters to protect California’s taxpayers in the months and years ahead.

On the day she announced her intention to run for U.S. Senate, Fiorina signed the Americans for Tax Reform’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge, committing that she will never vote for new or increased taxes. Instead, her economic growth plan (IN PDF FORMAT) is founded on the principle that lower taxes will help stimulate the private-sector job creation and growth we need to lead our nation out of this economic downturn. For her fiscal conservative values, Fiorina previously earned the endorsements of the Orange County Taxpayers Association Political Action Committee and the Taxpayers League Liberty Fund.
