Blackburn Suports Tax Reform!
But don't worry: it's the good kind of tax reform - accelerating the Bush tax cuts and making them permanent. State Sen. Marsha Blackburn's website lays out her views on taxes and other issues at the national level. No wonder her candidacy for the U.S. Congress has been endorsed by the Club for Growth, and the American Conservative Union.

"Marsha Blackburn has stood firmly for the free market, low-tax principles on which the Club for Growth was founded," says Stephen Moore, founder and president of the 6,000-member Club for Growth. "Our members in Tennessee and around the country are convinced that Marsha Blackburn is the real Reagan Republican in this race. We feel confident she will fight for low taxes and government reform as hard in Washington, as she has in Tennessee."

Also, the The East Shelby Review endorsed Blackburn saying she has an independent streak that will serve Tennessee well if she is elected to Congress: "We need a congressperson who will stand up to lobbyists, special interest groups and even the President if need be. Marsha’s four years of service in the Tennessee Senate stand as a testament that she will never be a rubber stamp for President Bush or anyone else."
