[acmejack]

3. A PAC called Americans for Tax Reform (ATR)

"Officially, Grover Norquist heads an organization called Americans for Tax Reform where for almost 20 years now he has crusaded for lower taxes and less government. Unofficially he's been the linchpin in Washington for the conservative revolution that now controls the government. His weekly meetings of activists became the politburo of strategy where all stripes of conservatives bear their differences in order to bury their hatchet in Democrats. From the Christian coalition to log cabin Republicans to the National Rifle Association on whose board he sits, this Harvard graduate keeps the troops on mission and on message. His success prompted Senator Hillary Clinton to muse aloud, if only Democrats had a Grover Norquist."

11. So how can this be used to put a stop to him and the

"we're too wealthy to pay taxes" crew? Better yet how can it be used to the oil out of government?

12. Beneficiary of Jack Abramoff, too

Bio of Norquist here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Norquist

Norquist is a central figure in the scandal arising from lobbying work performed by Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed on behalf of Indian gambling tribes. Emails released by federal investigators in June 2005 suggest that Norquist facilitated a scheme in which Reed secretly accepted payments from Abramoff to lobby against Indian casino gambling while Abramoff was being paid to promote Indian casino gambling.
