Grover Norquist Discusses the Most Effective Forms of Bipartisanship

Published: Aug. 14, 2020, 8 a.m.

b'Grover Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform, or ATR, a taxpayer advocacy group he founded in 1985 at President Reagan\\u2019s request. ATR organizes the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which asks all candidates to commit themselves to oppose all net tax increases. Norquist also chairs the DC-based Wednesday Meeting, a weekly gathering of more than 150 elected officials, political activists, and conservative movement leaders. Today, he shares his views on the most effective forms of bipartisanship. \\n\\nGrover Norquist argues that true bipartisanship is not best represented when moderate Republicans and moderate Democrats work together, since they are not that far apart ideologically, but rather when liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans work to find a solution. Some examples are criminal justice reform and civil forfeiture where liberals and conservatives can find common cause even if it is for different reasons. \\n\\nGo to NoLabels.org to learn more about how we are bringing together a bipartisan group of public and private leaders working to solve America\\u2019s toughest problems.'
