Americans for Tax Reform

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is a nonprofit advocacy group founded in 1985 by Grover Norquist at the request of President Ronald Reagan. The organization focuses on opposing tax increases and promoting tax reform principles that emphasize simplicity, transparency, and lower tax burdens. ATR is well-known for its Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which requires candidates for federal and state office to commit to opposing increases in marginal income tax rates and to avoid reducing tax deductions and credits without equivalent rate cuts. ATR engages in advocacy and lobbying, reporting significant expenditures to promote tax policies such as flat taxes and the elimination of double taxation. The organization publishes analyses and position papers on tax legislation, highlighting the economic impacts of proposed changes. It also builds coalitions with conservative groups, lawmakers, and activists to advance its anti-tax agenda. ATR targets policymakers, political candidates, and voters, mobilizing public support through grassroots campaigns aimed at taxpayers who oppose higher taxes.
